Those are nice. I sold my Garand a while back and it wasn't as nice as those. I wish I had the money, I don't think they will last long.

so when is AIM going to start paying you? BTW i really like them as well!

[Mike]

Nice.

I wish I could get one of those.

[Mike.357]

why not try CMP to save a few dollars, actually a few hundred dollars.

[Guest bkelm18]

Those look like Correct Grade or better. You might pay a little less at CMP, but not a lot less.

[Guest Traumaslave]

I used to live in Cincinnati and have spent a lot of $$$$ at AIM. They are fantastic to deal with. But, if I had the $$$ and was in the market for a Garand, I'd drive down to the CMP south and pick it out and get some ammo while I was there. It is all about the adventure isn't it??

[poak]

Those ARE nice. Too bad I'm in the "CMP Service Grade Tax Bracket"...

[Guest abailey362]

i want one of these so bad....but they are just too damn expensive for my blood

Well, there's always the security of being able to pick out your rifle. That security is worth different amounts to different people. Fewer hoops to jump through as well.

[Guest HexHead]

Too bad they don't put the first couple of digits from the S/N in the ads so you can tell approx. what year they were made.

[Mike]

If you look at the pictures they post for each rifle they show the first 3 or 4 numbers for each one.

I picked out a very nice Service Grade SA Garand at the Garand Collectors Assoc. show, where CMP had a few tables. Will try to post pics...

I just wasn't scrolling down far enough.

You can go to the CMP, you don't have to just mail order. I can't speak as to the South store but at the North you have racks and racks to pick from.

Forgive my ignorance... but dont you have to be apart of a 'approved shooting club' in order to purchase from the CMP?

Yes but you can join some clubs online. It takes about $30 to join an approved shooting club. I believe there is also a marksmanship requirement -- but a C&R FFL or a HCP are enough for CMP.

What are these things worth these days ? I inherited a nice one 20 years ago. I am almost ashamed to say that I have never shot it. I guess it is a safe queen...LOL.

I went and picked out all mine.

Don't you have to be a member of a group to buy from CMP? I'd love to drive down and pick out a Garand but am not sure if I can just walk in or not...

Your question was answered a few posts above yours but yes, you have to be a member of a group, but there are a few that are cheap and easy to join online.
