Hello follks,
I'm a new member here and excited about what I see. My order for a CMP Service Grade Springfiield Special is in so now I wait. BUT, can anyone help set my expectations on what I may get when my new toy arrives?
Regards,

Will do Bill. Been shooting and reloading since I was 14, finally getting around to buying a Garand. BTW, I'm a former Antelope Valley Resident myself.

Is that right? Where in AV were you? And, where in Tay-has are you now?

Palmdale, then after several moves ended up in Ft Worth.

I was so happy with my 1st SA SG CMP garand I ordered a 2nd before I cleaned the 1st. Both are great. not sure about your area but finding a M1 garand in what I would call rack grade or worse for under 1k is not going to happen. CMP the only sight unseen place I would purchase a gun from. You just cant expect better than the service grade criteria(you may get it) both mine where/are great shooters $$$ only stops me from buting another. If I stopped shooting for 8 months I could by another....shoot or buy shoot or buy......trigger finger wins for now I shoot.

HOLD THE SHOW!!!! I see you got a SPECIAL....how can you go wrong..............thats 2k at any dealer near me!

Well, wonderful to have you here! Again, please enjoy.

The Palmdale thing I won't hold against you

That's the problem with all of us. Can't get enough. This is what it leads to:
