I'm happy I got my two when I did.

They are phenominal weapons with a rich heritage.

Mine are a '43 and a '44.

I often wonder if the ol' boys ever saw any action and I'd love to be able to find out.

Matching bolt reciever, beautiful walnut stock, I dont think this puppy has seen the light of day for 50 years, looks brand new. the cosmo is the oldest yuckiest ive ever seen, sweet im a happy camper

What's their supply of Garands like?

AR-tim · 12-06-2005, 09:01 PM

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.

AHHHHHHHHH...The 1903. I have always reffered to it as 'the rifleman's rifle'

7mmag6 · 12-07-2005, 11:35 PM

the cmp has about 10, 000 greek garands all sa, in various grades, there are no more hra. I would think thats about 6 mos to 1 year left for garands after that there aint no more

.22guy · 12-08-2005, 09:25 PM

Thanks guys. I really need to get off my duff and get one of these things. Do you guys think it's a good deal?

spicybeefjerky · 12-10-2005, 04:10 PM

yes...i bought 6...i got my H&R first and then went for the SA

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
