I took mine to the range today for the first time. Made the place go silent. Mine was manufactured in Dec of 1942.
Took mine to the range for the first time last weekend. Mine was manufactured in Oct of 1942. Matching serial numbers for the most part. Very accurate. I was hitting a 12" gong at 200 yards. Not bad for a guy over 60. Kicks like a mule though. Had a sore shoulder after 8 en bloc clips and hearing the distinctive "ping". What a great gun.
I also have a dec of 42

April '42 here
@@rickalexander2801 There's no such thing as matching serial numbers. They use drawing numbers.
I m from the philippines, probably those garands we used during our campaign against the reds in the time of the martial law and the seccestionist groups of muslim in mindanao. Soldiers preferred garand rather than m-16 because the 30-06 does not veer when it hit grass or twigs and rebels were afraid of it considering they know its more powerful and body stopper. I love it when I fired it I feel like it makes me invincible and confident.
Did my jungle warfare training on Mindanao! Same time the Moros were in the same area, attacking local forces. Agree with you, most american military preferred the M-14 for the same reason-M-16s were worthless in a heavy jungle/wooded environment. Still are. Anyway, just wanted to say Hi, cannot imagine why anyone would leave the Philippines tho! Beautiful country and nicest people ever! Also helped build school in Dumaguete a very long time ago. Beautiful country!!!!!!
I am a Garand owner and a employee now!!! My job includes classifying slings and bayonets coming back from the Philippine Islands! The sweat , blood and dirt on theses slings is sacred and we do not remove any of it! Over 80,000 Americans will now have Philippine DNA in their homes and gun safes!
@@luckybait I certainly wish that non US citizen will have a chance to own one of this M1 Garand via CMP. It might be a dream but just saying. It's a part of our history too as Filipinos! My first and last introduction to this M1 Garand was during our college ROTC firing sessions back in 1982 or 83.
Mine is not from the cmo, have not figured out when it was made, inherited a garand and carbine from my grandfather who bought them in the 70’s. Also got the bayonet, 12 en bloc clips, and the bandolier, so my grandpa got everything for it
Philippines makes some real nice 1911s.
Your rifle"s receiver is indeed 1944 manufacture. Your op-rod is a national match manufacture, which has tighter tolerances for competition shooting. The trigger guard, rear sight are post war.The gas cylinder lock is also post war, it is called the improved humpback type. It is most probably a rebuilt WW2 rifle, which was re-barreled, by the date on the barrel, seen under the op rod, which is a springfield barrel manufactured April 1954, and was probably rebuilt towards the end of 1954. This means that it is most likely a Philippine return. Quite a few were returned without stocks. An original stock would have a 1/2 inch eagle cartouche where it says cmp, and a "P" inside a circle for proofed rifle near the trigger guard, on the wrist portion of the stock. Overall, you have a very nice M1 Remember to use 30-06 ammunition specifically made for he M! so as not to damage the op-rod. Modern hunting loads produce way to much pressure. Enjoy!!
you all prolly dont give a shit but does anyone know a tool to get back into an instagram account??
I somehow forgot the password. I would appreciate any assistance you can give me!
@Karsyn Mack instablaster =)
@Ford Eden Thanks for your reply. I found the site thru google and im waiting for the hacking stuff atm.
I see it takes a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Ford Eden HOLY **** IT REALLY WORKED :O Just got access to my instagram account within roughly 30 mins by using the site.
I had to pay 15$ but for sure worth it :O
Thanks so much, you saved my ass :D
@Karsyn Mack you are welcome :)
The Dog taking a crunch on the lawn in the background is the best part of the review.
0:45 My favorite part of the video 🤙
Glad I wasn't the only person who noticed that. LMAO
Thanks for the video. Nice to see periodic uploads of what the CMP is still providing after all these years
Welcome to the club! Great to see your enthusiasm
I had never held a Garand before I bought a bring-back from Korea 5 decades ago. All matching HRA with NO visible riflings. It still shot better than my deer rifle and I was hooked. I got 2 green cans full of AP and a manual. A medically retired Marine talked me into sending it to Glen Nelson to "National Match" it. I lost all the HRA parts replaced by NM parts, but it was both beautiful and a gorgeous blond Walnut 308. I later replaced the barrel with a new-ish LMR after I found out that it stove-piped in the rain with the heavy Douglas 308 barrel. The CMP was then the DCM and worked mostly with high power competitors. You could send them a worn out M1 and they would rebuild it and send you a replacement Garand. A lot of them were N.I.B. back then. I'm 71 now and am down to about 62 Garands accumulated over the years; some from DCM & CMP, but most from gun shows and blind luck. Have 30ish years in my pre-40 project, but I will probably precede it in death before I find those last 4-5 parts. I STILL shoot them when people throw off on them or brag too much about black rifles....Good income for betting people.............Doc
62?! Want to sell one? Disappointed I waited so long, because now the only option from CMP is currently re-stocked, re-barreled, and re-everythinged except the receiver which might also be post-war. I'm buying not as an investment, but seeking connection to my now deceased grandfather and great uncles who used the same weapon during world War II. Maybe I missed the boat, but hoping I can buy from someone like you that bought a few when the prices were more reasonable.
If my memory serves me correctly, In the early sixties I bought a Garand and an MI Carbine from the NRA for $20 each. The Carbine was packed in cosmoline and I believe it was never issued
what a difference 61 years can make lmao
Nice it wasnt covered in cosmoline. Took hours to clean mine. I like the way CMP ships them to you.
I also liked the "Unboxing" @ 0:47. Great review!
Absolutely my favorite shooting firearm. You can get a new hollowed out gas plug from Garand Gear. I have not installed mine but just keep it handy for a Garand ammo shortage. 40 years ago my older brother demonstrated to me how not to get Garand Thumb. He was so nice that his demonstration was complete as the bolt smashed his thumb. What are older brothers for anyway? Now that we are both in our 70's he still has the scar and funny thumb nail.....enjoy your piece of history.
The M1 is pure joy to own. An awesome rifle even by today’s standards.
Congratulations. Looks to be “CMP” (Boyd) wood. Nothing wrong with that... I’ve replaced the junk original stocks with CMP wood on a number of my M1’s. A few years ago, CMP had warehouses full of M1 parts... complete trigger groups... oprods... barrels, etc.. most is gone now, but you can still get a lot of small parts from CMP and other vendors. Of all the CMP M1’s I have, only two needed rebarreling. I put a new Danish VAR barrel on one and had CMP put a Kreiger on the other. I do an annual field strip, clean and re-lube every September. I clean with Hoppe’s, then spray with Hornady One Shot, followed by greasing appropriately with TETRA gun grease and a bit of TETRA gun oil where indicated. I highly recommend Kuhnhausen’s “The U.S. .30 Caliber Gas Operated Service Rifles: A Shop Manual, Volumes I & II”.
My two best M1’s are built around unissued H&R barreled receivers. Some collectors consider H&R M1 rifles to be among the best regarding fit, finish and overall craftsmanship. Production of the H&R M1 rifles ceased in May 1956, by which time 428,600 rifles had been delivered. It is doubtful if any of the H&R M1 rifles made it overseas prior to the cessation of active combat operations of the Korean War in 1953. By the time H&R was able to get into mass production, the pressing need for new M1s had passed, and the majority of the rifles remained stateside or were used to fulfill various military foreign-aid commitments.
Great Rifle, Yes I would love to see a video on ordering CMP Rifle. Thank you

Mine was a 54 with new stock, took it apart, everything was loose. Cleaned , greased, tightened, shoots great, looks too new.
Would love to see the complete process to order this. Thank You.
th-cam.com/video/jO39_Gs58Pk/w-d-xo.html
Wow Beautiful Rifle ! With a little CLP and elbow grease good as new !
I've taken mine to the range twice this month, both times rang the steel at 200,300... all the way to 700 yards. All the folks hanging around with their scopes and lord knows how much worth of rifles were impressed. Especially that it was an OG doing the shooting.
Yes! Please do a video on the process to get one of these from the CMP. I would love to get one as well, but I don’t know much about the process.
The easiest way to purchase an M1 Garand from CMP is to join the Garand Collectors Association, GCA for short.
Cost is 25.00 and they will ask you if you want the CMP to be informed of your membership.
After that you can purchase one when you send in the required paperwork. You can download paperwork and print it off from CMP. The CMP has the information on how to fill it out on their site.
@@ElkoCowboy888 Thanks man, I appreciate the info.

That m1 Garan from the Philippines 🇵🇭 is being used by the Philippine army during the battle in Yultong Korea that kills 7,000 Chinese troops in one day one night only looks carefully you can see a traces of Chinese blood 🩸 in the rifle with is so cool 😎.
Definitely interested in the process of acquiring a firearm from the CMP......Bring it on!
Thanks for sharing.
I ordered mine about 4 weeks ago, hopefully I get it soon.
i just bought my first rifle and it was a 1953 Garand with an original stock and it is such a beautiful looking rifle.
This is America's rifle! This gun helped win WW2! I remember both of my Grandpas talking about this rifle (they were in the Airborne). They LOVED IT! I want one so bad!
If i received one like this I would love it. I cannot wait for mine to come.
All those numbers (bolt, op rod, etc.) mean something. Looks like you got a beautiful rifle,congrats!
Nice rifle, make sure you use good ammunition specifically marked for the M1 Garand. Some hunting ammo could be too strong for the the op rod and you want correct primers to reduce the chances of a slam fire. Good luck and be safe!
Thanks for making this video.
Great Video it looks better then service grade! A Great looking M1 it looks brand new.
The rifle itself is not dated. You have to look at the serial number and compare it to the on line run of serial numbers from the Springfield armory to be able to date it. Stamped trigger guard means post war and each parts group's numbers do have meaning. You'll have to research each part to find out what era they were made. Barrel was made in 1954.
Another way to find the date of rifle is to read the description on the side of barrel above chamber, after locking bolt and looking
That is only the barrel date. The receiver has its own date, the bolt, trigger mechanism, etc.
A range session would be great to see !! Nice piece. Get you a good military sling to fit it and learn how to use it.
Would really be interested knowing the process you have to go through to pick one of these firearms up
Ugh I need one. Been dying for a m1 and I also want a beat up one I can refinish then cherish forever
All components for the M1 are stenciled with the corresponding "drawing/part" number. SA is 'Springfield Armory.' The only dating I believe there is, is stenciled on the barrel; visible when the oprod is locked back...
I sent my paperwork for a service grade one 2 weeks ago. I’m just binge watching people receiving their garands since I can’t wait to receive mine.
did you end up getting yours?
Following
@@jasontodd1141 when they went to charge my card, it was declined. They called me but I told them that I wish to cancel it due to unexpected financial reasons. However, I just sent my order form again this week since I definitely have the money now lol
@@Yuri_Tarded Can I ask how much there are ?
@@FestusMo1 the one I order is a service grade for $750 no taxes and free shipping in my state of PA
There may be a month and year code on the barrel if you pull the op rod back and open the action!
Nice rifle! Look for books by Scott A. Duff, Bruce Canfield, Jerry Kuhnhausen and Joe Poyer and you'll have all the info on the M1 Garand you'll ever need.
Two comments. On the oprod...NM is not national Match. Its New Manufacture. The original oprods had square corners in the dogleg. They were prone to bending or breaking. A new design was made with radiuses in the corners of the dog leg. They were marked NM to save time in the arsenal refurbishments.
The numbers on the parts are not S/N related. Because the guns were made by a dozen contractors and parts were made by 50 more, each part had a drawing number on it. That number related back to the original and later modified specification sheet for that part.
That rear sight is stock and correct for that receiver.
I have been waiting for you to tell us How Much!!!!!!!!
Have a look through these comments...he has answered that several times!
If you read the description on the cmp website, it does say the service grade m1 garand may have a new stock fitted to the original receiver.
I would love to know the details on how to buy one of these the same way. I’ve wanted one for a VERY long time.
my grandfather carried one across Belgium in WW2. Want one for my collection. Yes!
Get it soon before they are banned
Cmp seems like the way to go, i just want to shoot the classic gun, not hold one that stormed a beach (although that would be great)
Dang, those new CMP cases look slick!
Yeah, I was expecting the standard foam inserts.
They also have a blue anti-oxidation and anti-rust insert in the case now! It’s blue and it’s state of the art
Ordered one March 18th received it today July 23rd. Over 4 months for a service grade M1.
went thru basic at Ft Jackson with the M1 !!! BEST RIFLE I EVER SHOT !!
Usually to see if all the parts are original it would have to have all the same manufacture parts. You look the numbers up like on the bolt to see when it was made and if it matches the date of the receiver than those parts are original. Then you do that to the rest of the parts.
I sent in my paperwork still awaiting it.
This was a post WWII rebuild. The barrel is dated 4-54 and was made by Springfield. I would bet your rifle was rebuilt in the late 1954 or later. The number on your bolt is the drawing number. The sights are Korean War era. WWII sights would have a lock bar on them. Every part has a drawing number and it follows the format of the one on the bolt. There are on the left side of the receiver below the wood line, the heat lot numbers. Scott Duff puts out a book that can explain all of the numbers you see on your rifle.
I have purchased two, both from WW2, one is a battle rifle, second is M1D, which is a sniper version. I have nothing but good to say about them, both purchased from CMP.
The barrel is marked, and has the date. Pull it out of the stock and do further inspection. Look at Mark Duff’s book. Barrels were produced for many years past the receiver date.
I bought one for myself and my son last week when I drove through Anniston Alabama!!! What a beautiful place and the people at CMP and in Anniston are first class people! I was able to buy my M1 off the rifle rack! There were over 300 M1’s on the racks! The guys at CMP verified my date of manufacture as February 1944!!! I bought an Original Army sling dated 1943 and an American Fork and Hoe Bayonet stamped US with the flaming Bomb!!!! I will never drive through Alabama without stopping at CMP!! I went to the CMP John Garand shooting range in TALLADEGA just a few minutes away and could not believe how beautiful that place is! They have the most advanced shooting range in the country! It is electronic with German Kongsberg targeting!! You never have to step away from your bench!!! The United States Space Force new recruits were training while I was there! Alabama is a “SPECIAL PLACE” !!!! The mountains and country side at this range was as beautiful as any resort in America 🇺🇸!!!!
How much did ya pay?
I paid $750.00 for the service grade M1’s. I also bought a 30-40 Krag . I paid too much I’m sure for the Krag,,, $1250.00.. I have always wanted one and they had just brought out 6 pretty nice ones.
I may be wrong on the Kongsberg target system, It may be Swedish or Norwegian or German ,,, I can’t remember which
It would be great to see the process of getting a m1. I thought it was a harder process.
You can find a lot of information on FB group and all the parts are numbered with date info. I have a mint 1941 receiver and stock with a 1952 barrel never fired until I I got it about 7 yrs ago. My Dad is a huge Garand collector so I got to pick a Queen rifle, which I enjoy shooting.
I just purchased a Service Grade last summer that looks just like yours and probably the smoothest Garand I've ever shot BUT, the barrel is trash. I was estictic when I saw the spec card for muzzle and throat erosion measured at a 1 and 1, couldn't believe my luck until I looked down the barrel. Totally copper fouled and full of crud, never cleaned, I couldn't believe how bad it was. I didn't dare put a bullet down it before a good cleaning. 3 days later and still scrubbing I figured it was time to shoot it, shot smooth as butter but I couldn't hit a 14 x 14 target at 50 yards. I'm an old National Match shooter and have been handling garands for almost 50 years so we went back to the basement and more cleaning. Finally after 2 more trips to the range and more scrubbing it was shooting 5" groups at 50 yards ! 1 land of rifling is discolored at the muzzle and the rifling is bright but looks very shallow. The barrel is crap and I'm going to replace it, very disappointed.
The selection of Garands at the CMP is dwindling in quantity and condition. At this point, what counts the most is getting a Garand with little to preferably no receiver pitting. It is a pity about the barrel, yet you still got a deal that’s unobtainable anywhere else; current Garand prices outside the CMP are miserable; M1 Carbine prices are obscene.
@@bravo0105 Absolutely true on the prices that's why I'm not swaqicking about the $300 to rebarrel to a new Criterian barrel. Still less than a grand invested.
@@bravo0105 FYI, here it is 3 years later and I got it shooting by wrapping JB Bore Paste soaked patches around a brass bore brush, chucked it up in an electric drill and went at it for 3-4 minutes. Figured "What do I have to lose ?" Well there was a glob of copper on one of the lands in the muzzle but the workout with the JB and brush removed everything and the bore was pristine. Took it to the range and ran thru a couple clips and got serious. I hit the lottery. I had fit a GarandGear gas plug and with the barrel cleaned up that M1 put a full clip of my 150gr Hornady FMJ pushed by H4895 into just over 1" at 100 yards off the bench. Sights are spot on and regulated properly and ringing 8" steel at 330 yards is a breeze. It was a little effort but I'm ecstatic.
Wow! That is really nice wood!
Got 2 spgfld.....one NM 308 and a 30-06 with comp. stock. As always good shooters....
Those numbers are drawing number. Schematic numbers. The dash is a revision number/updated....
All good. The higher the number, the better the part......newer, better, stronger, etc...
Holy Bat Sh*t.\@#$% Battle of the Bulge. That battle was a long time ago and far away. Gamer BOie!
Those rifles are gone.....Look up some history. Everything in Europe was reconditioned after the surrender.
They was gettin' ready for WW3 and Soviets. Berretta in Italay was refitten' everything....
They had a box mag for the M1, before Springfield Armory and Garand thought of it....m-14....
To the best of my knowledge, there is no such animal as an M1 with matching numbers. The only thing I can tell is the old original wood fits a lot better than the new stocks, nevertheless a cmp one or a new production one are still very desirable.
The various numbers you will find on the parts of the M1 rifle are not serial numbers but rather factory blue print numbers. The only number which is a serial number is located on the rear of the top of the receiver near the arsenal stamping.
A video from someone that didn't do ANY research BEFORE purchasing from the CMP. There is only ONE serial number on a Garand. The rest are part or drawing numbers. Buy a book before you hurt the rifle, or yourself. Join the GCA and that will help you. Before I went to the North store 13 years ago to buy my first Greek, I now have 4 SA, 3 H&R's and a tractor, I knew everything there was to know about the 4 manufacturers of these rifles and what to look for. It's amazing to me that anyone would buy a rifle without knowing the history of them or even where the serial number was.
Well, Tom, everyone has different standards and different tastes. Just because his tastes aren't the same as yours doesn't make him a fool, or an asshole.
I tried the sticky for a ww2 and was soundly rejected. Aside from small trigger parts near end of ww2, everything else is post Korean war h&r. That said, it is in remarkable shape and with a few coats of tung oil, it looks as-issued almost 60 years ago.
I ordered mine almost 6 weeks ago, I’m still waiting on it. Hoping I get it soon.
I ordered mine a little more than two months ago now. Did you ever end up getting yours?

( including my wife )😆
I'd like to sell my ex-wife to some cruel, sadistic s.o.b. lol
Holy shit. I just bought a CMP M1 Garand today and I'm also wearing the same Dunder Mifflin shirt. 😳
Mighty fine rifle.
Nice video and a beautiful M1. I placed my order with the CMP on January 11th, 2021 the site says 8-12 weeks at this point. [Update: I received my email confirmation on April 9th, 2021. They are overwhelmed with orders at this time.] Finding appropriate ammunition for this rifle appears to be a greater challenge right now, everyone is sold out. I received the rifle around April 11th. A very nice 1943 Springfield Armory.
Gun Broker has some.
How much did you pay sir if you Don’t mind? Because I was thinking getting one since my two of my grandparents were veterans from the Philippines. I would like to own one here in California
must be nice to get a hard case , all mine came in a crusty box with 2 pieces of greasy cosmoline foam and a ziplock bag of papers
just a month to receive it. lol is this considered bolt action because it doesn’t look scary? i’ve been waiting for my AR for over a month. just resubmitted my paper work for the second time. 5 more days to wait with fingers crossed. if the background check doesn’t come back on time i’m quitting and buying me a bow and arrows.
Alabama and Ohio i believe theyre opening another store somewhere west.
Most Garand have run out but I heard they're going to get Garands to people who couldnt get them since they ran out, but they're getting more from Korea and Europe I believe, well thats what some people said.
When you went to the stores in AL for your 1903, which store was largest and had the most rifles?
Never made it to the range location, but Anniston had full racks and plenty in the back rooms.
I'm excited to see what I might be getting, payment for my service grade got processed today plus if it's been re stocked, original usgi ones can be had inexpensively
When did you put in for yours?
@@johnholsinger3840 September 14th haven't heard anything from CMP yet but from what I hear they don't contact you until they ship it to you and then it gets overnight shipped. However that being said my order went through and my payment was accepted on September 24th
@@nicholasstilley2370 ok I put in for mine on the 18th of September hopefully it won’t be much longer only so many unboxing videos to keep me at bay 😂
If it helps my order form arrived September 4th. No word back until October 7th because of some questions regarding the form. Solved October 13th, emailed as well. Shipped and delivered a week later. Not bad at all
Did you find your front handguard to be loose. Side to side movement and back and forth??
There are several books you can buy from the CMP or Amazon authored by Scott Duff, Joe Poyer or Bruce Canfield that will educate you on the M1 Garand, its parts, when they were manufactured drawing numbers, heat lot numbers etc. There is no such thing as a true "WW2 rifle" any more. Anything and everything that dates to WW2 that is sold by the CMP, with the possible exception of something from the CMP auction site, is a mixmaster. There were post WW2 collector grade and correct grade Springfield and H&R rifles sold by the CMP, but those days have long gone.
I would love one.
Did you ever get around to checking to see if it had a round in the chamber?
Did you ever go through the review of how the cmp process went? Are these still available?
When CMP got their Filipino rifles in most of them were termite damaged forcing them to restock 60 to 70% of all of the m1 garands
All of the M1 Garands I've owned over the years came from the CMP's North Store up in Port Clinton Ohio...back when I lived up that way. The prices have gone up considerably since the last 1 I purchased, but of course the availability has went down. It was nice being able to hand-pick the ones I bought. But I've always considered trying out the mail order just for the excitement. Awesome rifle! Congrats, looks like a beauty! Also, as far as your markings...head over to the forums.thecmp.org/ Lots of great resources there for determining which parts are "correct" or not for your Garand. There are drawing numbers on all the parts and from that you can determine if it was manufactured around the time your rifle was made. 2.7Mil SA is definitely a WWII era rifle...July 44' your barrel is a 1954 post-war barrel.
Nice rifle, wish we could get these in uk ? Auto rifles have to have the gas system disabled here, thats assuming you can even get a permit for a 308 or 30-06 rifle in the first place.
Great content video on how to gk through cmp please
Can you post the steps you took to get that rifle. I have been wanting a k1 garand a Springfield rifle is the best one besides the Winchester

Nice!
Yours looks like a higher grade than service! What was the throat and muzzle reading? If it was 0 to 1 it could have an unfired barrel. Steve C.
It was a 2
Best. Iron. Sights. Evah!... not sure why they're not copied more.
There's a LOT to be said for a slender snag-free battle rifle with NO box mag to keep you from getting super prone!
In a way they were/are. The m14/m1a had them, and the m16/ar15 have a basic version of them if you think about it.
Used one of these in Sniper Elite V2 video game.
Cmp used to have deals, or at least surplus stuff. Now it's high end collector priced stuff.
This is not true at all. You must be looking at their online auction not the sales web page.
@@n721sw no firearms listed on their e store. And new full price Savage and anschutz 22 are the two rifles I found. If you can provide s link? I've signed up years ago and received nothing but high end auctions and sales of collector stuff. The stores I hope are better.

Did you get it yet ?
@@michaelcarbonaro1978 Yep! All SA parts, serial number points to 1942

@@michaelcarbonaro1978 It moved pretty fast. It shipped about 10 days after I got the DBU email. Took awhile to get here because of delays from that snowstorm down south at the time, but I got it about a week after that
If it is a Springfield there is a very good chance that it is a second world war II m1 grand. But there is still a possibility of it being a later model Springfield continued to make m1 garand all the way through to 1956.
Ok the barrel could be from 59 or 54. (I heard two dates and I don't remember which one went with the barrel) They made parts and barrels for refurbishment well after they stopped making the actual rifles. I don't know when they stopped making parts however since most of these rifles were sent overseas there is a very real possibility of foreign made parts as well. I believe I might have a Korean made gas cylinder on mine. As far as the bolt numbers, there will be a number saying what batch of metal was used and it's heat treatment, you can date them with those numbers. It's not an exact date but you can get close. My M1 is a Winchester and its serial number has it made in June of 43. It's bolt is a springfield bolt that was heat treated in I believe November or December of 43.
Basically just get online and search "how do I date X part of my Garand." There are countless sites out there. You can even date parts without numbers based on the slight taper of the machine marks and so on.
For the closing statement, since I already got mine, if you want a guaranteed WW2 made M1, then order a Winchester. Winchester only made them during the war. Springfield made them during the war and during Korea. International Harvester and Harrington made them during Korea only. Even though there is no official effort to keep the M1s with original parts I do believe that the armorer's do try a bit to keep them somewhat manufacturer correct. That is if they can. My Winchester just came with too many WRA marked parts for me to believe it just happened to make it through the three or four rebuilds like that.
You're not complaining about a new stock, are you? And a beauty. too. And a hard case, with CMP on it? AND a NM Op rod....Nice.
I got mine back in the '90's, won't tell you for how much. ($175). All wrapped up in plastic wrap and cardboard. Marked Aniston Arsenal.
Shoot it and enjoy it.
Have you shot it yet? If so, how did it shoot for you? What kind of groups did you get?
Range review is coming soon, but it's great so far
Would be interested to know what it took to get it
Pull the op rod back and lock it. The date is in the middle area. With a single digit followed by a double digits. Yours looked like a 4 54
I would love to see the ordering process for this because I live in canada and the rifle being clip fed means that it is totally legal for me in Canada
In order to purchase a CMP Rifle, you must be a citizen of the United States. Also, if you are a US citizen, they will not ship these to US citizens living in other countries.
@@TSimo113 thanks for the information
The stock is a Boyd's Manufactured stock made for the CMP, nothing special but good quality American Walnut
Love the shirt. Have the same one
If you havent covered how you got the rifle i would love to learn more?
@@kylesprengeler5965 Not exactly hard, but they have a list of requirements for purchase. Once you meet/submit all that, you have to pick out the grade.
