    CMP Garand

    I received an M1icon Garand from the CMPicon this last year. It is a "Service Grade" but besides being being coated in oil it appears immacualte. It is a Springfield and the Serial Number is 5857718. This puts the gun at mid to late 50's right?

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    I believe that serial number should be from 1955. The CMPicon is the only way to go for a Garandicon purchase, they are almost always better than described.

    If you ordered it, did you make any requests on what you wanted? Shooter, Springfield, walnut, etc.

    Probably not oil but cosmolineicon for long term storage. Good news is that you learn so much about the guns when you have to take them completely apart to clean lube and reassemble. Bad news (not really) is that the cosmo may weep from your stock for a long time....
