I will be headed by up to the CMP store in Anniston with JJ next week. Anyone interested in an M-1 Garand or Milsurp .30-06 ammo, let me know.

Love to get my hands on a Garand, and I hear they are the best place to grab one.

 

[flyandscuba]

Yes, but they are going fast. When they are gone -- there will be no more. I picked up a like new all-matching Springfield Armory in .30-06 the last trip. Now, I'm wanting one chambered in .308

 

[RedcedarHunter]

I'm in the same boat....I'd love to get an M1. What does a decent field grade run these days? Or would you suggest going a step up?

 

[flyandscuba]

If you are going to buy -- I suggest getting the Service Grade (what I bought). Much better condition than the Field Grade. Currently, the .308s are only offered in the Special Grade, and go for a little over a grand with shipping.

 

[FUPAGUNT]

Man I wish...

 

[T140]

Give us a price check on M1 and ammo when yo get back please sir.

 

[flyandscuba]

Field Grade M1 in .30-06 = $525 plus $25 shipping
Service Grade M1 in .30-06 = $625 plus $25 shipping
Special Grade M1 in .308 or .30-06 = $995 plus $25 shipping
Enbloc clips $1 each
Greek Milsurp (non-corrosive) M2 Ball .30-06 ammo - 200 rds loose in ammo can = $98 plus $12 shipping

 

[Sandspur6]

See you there. I'm going up early Wednesday morning.

When I first went into the Army in 62 they were processing out the M1's. The original envoices showed the Govt. cost at $76.00 each.

I might have to drive over there. Never knew about this place until now.

Scuba,

Did you leave yet?

We went up there yesterday. I picked out 6 rifles -- they arrived on my doorstep via FedEx this morning!

 

[Fishinspot]

Good deal.

Can anyone go up there or do you need to be a dealer? Where there good deals?

 

[flyandscuba]

Good deal.

Go to the CMP's website to see the requirements to gain access to purchase their rifles:

The price for their rifles is an extremely good deal!

 

[flyandscuba]

I stopped by the CMP store this morning since I was working in the area. The placed was packed! Evidently, people arrived last night & camped out at the door for a chance at one of the rare and highly sought out "sixes" Garands when the place opened.

These are rifles with Springfield receivers in the 6 million serial number range that were built up in the 1950s as National Match rifles used in matches.

I was fortunate enough to be able to snag one. There were about 6 of them left when I arrived shortly after 8am, but the CMP was limiting buyers to only one each.

Bummer!

 

[CviewGarand]

Kinda thankful I got my M1 when I did. Paid $600 for it off of Gunbroker (about 8-9 years ago). It's in the 1 million serial number range, dating to November of 1942. All Springfield parts too.
