I must admit I knew (know) very little about the M1. This documentary opened my eye to what a few of you guys have a love for although pretty rudimentary I was schooled.
History, collector info and a tour of the CMP in Anniston was perfect for a sleepless eve.

Needs to be a shooter (Low ME/TE, and not a "low number"), preferably something the CMP has had their hands on. I have an 03a3, so I need his older brother

Alrighty folks,
So I am really looking hard at the CMP M1 Garands - and I need a little bit of anecdotal advice on what to look for/what to buy.

For those that have been living under a rock, the CMP has gotten military issued 1911A1s that we will be selling to the public in a few months.
This is the new order form that was posted on the website this morning.

Looking for early M1 Garand Receivers. 5 digit SN and lower only please. Have cash and willing to travel for the right price. Condition isn't particularly important, just need one for the collection.
This is great news.

Way to go US military negotiaters working with the Philippines on getting our loaned rifles back.
This may be old news, but I didn't see it posted. If so, my apologies.

Anyone tried it?
It's a little bit more expensive than their de-linked MG ammo so I was hoping for a little more consistency.
Maybe hopes unfounded?

Believe me, my shooting needs all the help it can get!
Anyone sort their CMP ammo by...
The only thing worse than rescheduling is to fight the storm to get there, pay entrance fee, and can't shoot.
As bad as i hate to do it, i've decided to postpone my trip for tomorrow and i'll setbup another event sometime in the future. You guys could still go, of course. My apologies to all.
Thinking about pulling together another odt m&g at the CMP Marksmanship Park. After looking at their events calendar it appeas that Sat Jan 14th or Sat Jan 21 are our best choices.
I'll leave this up for a few days to see how much interest there may be. Feel free to suggest ideas....i'm pretty...

They had a bunch of rack grades, National Matches, drill rifles, and those funny ones in .308 today.
It's...

We plan on being at CMP Talladega Marksmanship park on Saturday November 12, the day after Veteran's Day. I'm wondering if there's interest in another ODT m&g?
There's a nice pavillion with covered picnic tables and restrooms right behind the 100yd and pistol targets. It would be a good place...
