Thank you guys for all of the input. I;m Going to go check out the CMP forums and see what I can find.

I took a gamble on the CMP earlier this year and was very happy with what I got. 1940 lead dipped SA receiver, All SA parts other than the trigger group which is IHC. I have another one on order and hope I'm as lucky the second time around.

You will love the garand. A bit heavy but beautiful in so many ways. I have only one that sadly I will be selling soon but once life settles I also plan to get another one.

DT, your 5 digit SG was definitely a good one. My last 3 SG rifles have been VERY nice shooter rifles, though I personally like armory rebuilds more. All 3 of these have new CMP wood, which has a nice look and locks up tight. If it comes with CMP wood, you may need to do a little fitting. I would check out the CMP forums and the WTS ads or just send in a CMP order if I were you. I would also do it before the end of the month due to the CEO announcing another price increase in January.

I'm finally the proud owner of a Garand! Can't wait to get out and shoot it!

Congratulations! More detailed pics and information would be great when you have a chance. What are the ME/TE numbers? Any rebuild marks on the receiver legs?

That's a really nice-looking M1 you got there

I look forward to seeing them. Make sure you get plenty of ammo/clips and get us a range report. Nothing beats opening up a CMP green case to see what kind of prize you got!
