[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 2310400, member: 7157"] A Garand what? But as others here have said, the CMP is the best deal around for a M1 Garand: [url]http://www.odcmp.com/sales.htm[/url] Be sure and check out the eligibility requirements to become a member of the CMP; it's a bit of a hassle, but once you've sent in the required paperwork, you can buy their wares at excellent prices. A M1 Garand in CMP "Service Grade" condition (usually "good plus" to "very good") can be had for $650 shipped straight to your door - no FFL transfer required, as the CMP is qualified by the government to do this. The downsides are that you don't get to pick the exact rifle you buy unless you go to one of the two CMP stores - in Ohio or in Alabama - and if you buy the rifle mail order, the current wait time is 3-4 months between sending in the order and receiving the rifle. If you go this route, best get your paper work in ASAP as the CMP is nearing the end of their supply of M1 Garands, barring the emergence of a new source of a significant number of rifles (U.S. Army or MAP returns). I haven't checked lately, but I'd guess less than two years supply at this point, possibly closer to a year. It really helps to do your homework first also, so you can know what to expect when you buy a M1 either from the CMP or from a third party. [/QUOTE]
