M1 Garands Getting Scarce ? - 03/29/22 12:11 PM



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!!!

Hi, you guys are funny, regards, Mike

Hi, I deleted the YouTube do to strong language. I'm not sure if it would be permissible. It's the scene in "Good Fellas" were "Tommy" asked "What do you mean I'm funny." It's a classic, Mike
