Hi, I have noticed that the CMP is down to one Garand group "in Stock".
It's a $1100, Expert which has a new commercial barrel and a new commercial stock. That's it right now. What I'm hearing is that unless they can get some foreign returns through the army the well has gone/going dry. If you always wanted one I'd start looking around.If anyone needs info/advice feel free to contact me, regards, Mike

Not surprising, honestly.

I've done a lot of shopping at the CMP, almost all of my milsurp rifles/carbines are from there.

If you want a GI one fine,but isn't there a commercial model out there made by Inland Machine out of Dayton??

I could be wrong on that.

Back in '08 I got one from CMP w/o the stock. Bore was a bit murky but worked fine.

That looks like the auction page, which is a bit of a different critter.

The auction rifles will likely continue after the main flow dries up, but not for long.

I've been enlightened....
didn't realize the difference, however price wise....it appears tremendous!!
I don't have the need(addition) therefore I haven't done my due diligence.....I've got my M1 carbines, and that's about the extent of milsurps...I'm lacking in that area, and it's probably a good thing...

Rocky,
OHNO!!! You have the M-1 carbine virus variant.No booster shot for that!!!

Only cure that I know of is to ship those carbines to me so you won't get sick!!!
