When will the CMP begin to sell Philippine Garands?

[Snowman1510]

I know that the CMP still has to sort through many and that it may still be a few months. I need to get some paperwork in shape to order an M1 and I am curious of a rough estimation of when these rifles could become available. Thanks again guys.

There is no way of knowing what country the rifle came from

I know that. I am wondering about when the deluge of M1 rifles (mostly likely from the Philippines or not as you say correctly) will begin to enter the computer market place.

Again, there is no way of knowing. CMP does not grade them according to country

I think the OP just wants to know when there will be a crap ton more for sell on their website. The country of origin is unimportant.

Yes. This exactly. I know you won't really be able to tell what rifles came from where. I just wanted to know any general estimates to see if I had time to fill paperwork out.

Its not like they are out of rifles, I wouldn't expect anything to change

Looks like a lot of junk came in with some treasures mixed in.
Termites and asbestos,,,,,

I'm sure the first HRA Garand built, found in the group, will end up in a museum.

Huh? Are we getting bogged down in "it depends upon what the meaning of is, is"?

I'm assuming that CMP negotiated with the Philippines government to return WW2 Lend Lease rifles to the US. I'm pretty sure that the Philippines was not involved in the Korean War with us. The rifles were in the Philippines last year, they are in a CMP warehouse now. So, wouldn't that make them "Philippines returns"? Kind of like Greek returns, or Italian returns, or .... whatever?
