My Garand is here!!!

Stopped by FedEx on my way home from work this morning and picked up my big box from the CMP. I'll get some pics up this afternoon once I get some sleep. Got to switch my backordered HRA to a Springfield and I'm happy with my choice. SN is 919XX so from a quick search looks like late 1940. Muzzle and throat are both 1+ According to the armorer tag

A five-digit SN is cool! I'm guessing you got a Service Grade? Looking forward to hearing the details and seeing pics.

man, that is very cool. a 5-digit SA by the luck of the draw is nice!

Looking forward to hearing more about it.

I will pay what you have in it if you sell it!

I'll try to get pics up tonight or maybe tomorrow. So far with some help from Brad (bsmith918), I know I have a "lead dipped" receiver, the bolt is SA, the barrel is SA dated 6/54, the trigger group is IHC and the stock is a birch GI and over all is in very good shape.!I am more than pleased with what I received.

 

[Perplexed]

Sounds good so far! Any cartouches on the stock? What make is the op rod? You could probably sell that IHC trigger group for a pretty penny and use some of the funds to get an SA group. Lots of people on the CMP forum now looking for IHC parts.

It is a very nice service grade. I have yet to get a 5 digit myself, so I am a little jealous. I used my ME/TE gauge and it measured true to the tag. The stock had a good solid lockup with very little wear. The gas cylinder had no movement and was very tight. I liked it a lot more than the last SASG I received, which unfortunately showed up in a new CMP stock. If I remember correctly, the op rod was an SA.
