Big 5 Sporting Goods M1 Garand Sale

[Paper]

I looked at two a couple of days ago and mh53gunners assessment is an understatement! They are horrible

My estimate for these M1s is about $399.00 if you get to hand pick it, out the door.

What's funny is that my last two Garands were picked off the Field Grade rack at the CMP South Store for $495.. Both were during different visits, and both were HRA, had wood that was fair, and both were less than 2 on TE, and just over zero on ME.. Basically, other than the stocks being a little rough, they gauged better than Service Grade rifles in the next rack..

I know... I know.. One can't just drive to the South Store, or the North Store.. I was lucky and in both situations I had a service job only a couple hours from the Store and took a little time and drove over to see what I could have follow me home.. But, not all of us are next to a Big 5 Sporting Goods store, either..

My suggestion is to get paperwork into CMP and order a rifle or two.. You're guaranteed a fully inspected rifle that won't have import marks, and if there's even the slightest remote issue with the rifle, they'll address it..

My last HRA's rear sight was a little wobbly.. I emailed CMP and an armorer send out 2 rear sight covers the next day (for free) and told me to try them and let him know if there was any other issue.. Problem was solved in minutes, and the sight worked perfectly.. Again, this was a $495 Garand..



The rifle is almost all HRA, too... Just do it!!!

BIG 5 IS SELLING GARANDS " MARKED DOWN " TO $ 599.00 "

And for $5 less (plus $29 next day air shipping) you can have a Service Grade CMP Garand, possibly with brand new wood!! All three of these rifles were mail ordered by me and picked out by CMP personnel, by the way.. No special treatment.. This is what you can expect if you just order a rifle from them.

My first CMP Service Grade Garand (SA)

My second CMP Service Grade Garand (HRA)

My third CMP Service Grade Garand (WRA, and OK, it was $200 more than the other two)
