| I heard that the M1's were drying up quick too. Like almost being out last time I heard. I really wish the CMP could get some M14's (semi-auto) in to our hands but I am not going to hold my breath for that to happen.

| Well what did we expect when CMP relaxed purchasing restriction? Three Garands up to five a year. And how many receivers a year? The folks buying 5 /year aren't inviduals concerned with collecting. Buy 5, sell 4, = 1Free. I managed to buy a Danish SA shooter, Danish SA rack grade and SA receiver. Would love to make pilgramage to Anniston, but that ani't happenin. Priorities have changed. Thankfull for getting in the program when I did. Merry Christmas
