[QUOTE="OKC_Jim, post: 1808734, member: 13601"] You are correct, but there are a few things to consider. The first thing I would consider is how much do you know about garands and how much can you tell from the pictures on Gunbroker? If you don't know alot, there are occasionally some suspect rifles to be found there (and other places). The rifles the CMP has came straight from the U.S. Army and before that straight from the place that used them (like Greece with many of their current rifles). In other words, you don't have to worry so much about something from the CMP being fake. My second concern would be cost. Many of the rifles you see for sale various places are obviously recent CMP rifles being sold at a higher price. All of that being said, if you were to purchase from Gunbroker (or other location), you do get the rifle you want. There is no luck of the draw. So, if you see something at a price you like and you know what you are buying there really isn't a drawback. Some guys enjoy the CMP process. Some guys just want a rifle. Either is fine. [/QUOTE]
