i wanted to take it to the range for a 200 yard zero this weeken but have to work.this overtime is getting old.when it ends they will start trying to cut the hours as much as they can

Nice rifle!  Brings back memories.  I shot a Garand competitively as a teen many years ago.  Definitely one of the reasons I developed a love for shooting and firearms.

My order was received 3/26, so hopefully by early June I can post up some pics.

Nice rifle...I have got to get off my wallet and get one from CMP before they are no longer available.

[dou44]

that was the way i was. i waited around 2 years before i ordered one,now i wish i has ordered sooner.i am all ready putting money back for more ammo and maybe a  hra.

I'm still waiting on mine to come in. The first 60 days weren't so bad but now I'm starting to get a little anxious.

Congrats, I need to make the rtide to their Anniston store.

It's worth the trip, to pick your garand from the rack.  I purchased one a few weeks ago, but the weather hasn't allowed an opportunity to fire it yet.  And it don't look good this weekend.

No kidding.  I'm at about 70 days right now and haven't heard a peep from CMP yet.

Nice rifle!

 

A Garand is one of the few rifles I've wanted, but not yet owned. I've never even fired one.

[Garufa]

I've never even fired one.

 

Then you haven't lived yet.  Someone please help this man out!

[dou44]

my 600 rounds of ammo i ordered is showing that it is processing so i hope to have that soon.i hope i get lucky and get another ww2 ammo can.

this thread forced me to take the Garand outside today and blast off a clip of ammo.  I hope the neighbors enjoyed it.  :)

Mine is now scheduled to be here on Tuesday!

Nice Garand, dou44.  I love that aged patina that only time can create, on the metal and the wood.

You lucky dog...this gives me hope.  Go Irish.

[StPatrick]

Heard back from the CMP - they're working on March 14 orders today, so it will be minute until they get to mine.  Looks more like 100 days for orders to be processed by the sales department at this point for those wondering about how long the process will take.  For those who have already gone through the process, are ammo purchases taking the same amount of time as the rifle itself?

[ShamGlock]

You lucky dog...this gives me hope.  Go Irish.

Spent the last few days drooling over the new Garand. All I can tell you is that it will be worth your wait! And of course....Go Irish!!!!!!!

Here you go fellas. I have to say. I'm more than pleased with what I have. I wrote a nice note that I sent in with all my paperwork. I thanked them for all  their help right now and let them know I wasn't in a hurry. I asked for some older wood with some character and told them this would be my first Garand would they please pull me aside a good shooter. I also included a small donation. I have no idea if this actually helped, but I would say it didn't hurt any. They sent one that graded out with a muzzle reading of 1+ and a throat reading of 2+. You absolutely can not beat this deal for $650.
