CMP M1 Garand thread!!!!!

[Eljay]

I placed an online order 12/2 for the Greek HXP.. They shipped it 1/16. Looks about 2-3 weeks. I figure they did not get back into the office until the 3rd of January and had to start processing orders.

Yeah, they all took a couple of weeks off (because they can't take vacation during the summer because of all of the CMP matches) so every year the orders pile up and it's slow in the new year. This year in particular they got a ton of orders coming in so when they came back on 1/2 they apparently had thousands of orders waiting for them. Last anybody heard they were still working on the 1/2 orders (they don't sort by postmark, those all went into the same pile).

Ammo and rifle orders end up in different queues, and apparently they do a lot of printing out stacks of orders that get handed to different workers, some of who work faster than others. So the orders only get processed vaguely in order even at the best of times.

Still waiting on any news about the SA SG I mail ordered on the 3rd, but I had someone who was nice enough to pick me up one in person that should be here this week
It's a Winchester Garand.

My packet went out last Monday. Hopefully they'll get to it soon.

I joined the GCA and then found out that GSSF affiliates with the CMP. So if you are a member already or could join up with them. Seems more practical as theres a couple matches to shoot, the chance to win pistols, cash, and gear.

I ordered a service grade and a special grade. We'll see how they turn out!

Kind of an amateurish question but do the Garands only come in 30-06 or do they also come in 308?

Thanks.

[gotshotgun?]

They can be barreled in .308 and the CMP sells a .308 version.

The Navy sleeved 30.06 barrels then manufactured barrels in 7.62x51 ,CMP sells these in barreled receivers
As already stated CMP also sells complete Garands with commercial 308/ 7.62 barrels

I don't see any caliber selection for any of the service grade garands. Just this the Special Grade one : RM1308SPECIAL...( + $300 more).

I gather the others only come in 30-06 then?

Unless specified otherwise(the original test models, barrel swaps, chamber inserts, etc.), an m1 garand only comes in .30-06.

Yes just the Special Grade with commercial 308 barrel

Like I said before there are the Navy Garand barreled receivers with inserts and original 308/7.62 barrels

CMP unless they are out. Should be on the same page as the rest of their Garands on the web site

I think those might have been in-store only.
