Ammo and rifle orders end up in different queues, and apparently they do a lot of printing out stacks of orders that get handed to different workers, some of who work faster than others. So the orders only get processed vaguely in order even at the best of times. |

Still waiting on any news about the SA SG I mail ordered on the 3rd, but I had someone who was nice enough to pick me up one in person that should be here this week
It's a Winchester Garand. |

My packet went out last Monday. Hopefully they'll get to it soon.
I joined the GCA and then found out that GSSF affiliates with the CMP. So if you are a member already or could join up with them. Seems more practical as theres a couple matches to shoot, the chance to win pistols, cash, and gear. I ordered a service grade and a special grade. We'll see how they turn out!

The Navy sleeved 30.06 barrels then manufactured barrels in 7.62x51 ,CMP sells these in barreled receivers
As already stated CMP also sells complete Garands with commercial 308/ 7.62 barrels |

Unless specified otherwise(the original test models, barrel swaps, chamber inserts, etc.), an m1 garand only comes in .30-06.

This is getting complicated and expensive..... |

Its not hard to do but if you dont have a working knowledge of the Garand I dont suggest it.
You would be better to buy a complete rifle from CMP that you know will function well and has customer support if there is a issue Building a Garand is not cheaper than buying a complete rifle unless you have a bunch of spare parts laying around |

Mailed mine 1-8 for a SA SG and 200 rnds of ammo. Haven't heard anything yet. Being over 60 I got away without the shooting but sent a copy of my HSC anyway.

I'll post gratuitous pics here around then for all to see. I hope we get some more DBUs for you guys. I'm not sure why my order went through so quickly. 27 days from order receipt to delivery.

My order is now at 22 days from when they received it. Seems to be taking a couple days longer than yours.

I received a CMP email this morning that made my heart skip a beat. But... it was just the newsletter
Mailed on 1/18 so I'm sure I have a few weeks before any notification. |

Ugh... of course it's slow as hell today so time is crawling by...
So what do you guys think I'll get? 2 new Walnut stocks , 1 new walnut and 1 USGI, 2 USGI stocks ? Orange Birch Word is odds are 3:1 for getting new wood of some sort. |

Sent them an email about my order of 1-8. Got an answer back as of today they are working on orders they received on 1-2. They said I should get to mine within a week.

Sorry to hear about the Orange...I requested CMP Walnut personally, hoping either that or USGI. The Orange Birch is really last on my list of wants.

Just got my DBU email. Sent it in on the 2nd or so, so they probably got ours around the same time.
