How is the milsurp market these days?

So....the CMP South store was loaded up with weapons, mostly service grades and 1903’s. They had 8 IHC gap letters but I passed because of the $2k price tag. There were no 03a3’s here but several at the Talladega store yesterday. There is a temporary limit of one service grade Garand per day because supplies are low.

I was called in at exactly at my appointment time and it was easier to search and select with less people in there at the same time. Picked up a Garand and some misc stuff. They did your background check as soon as you got there so I only waited 5 minutes for my purchase. Time to head home.....

The previous owner painted the stock green and colored all the metal with a sharpie marker. He also polished the butt plate. I'm sure it could have turned out better but I'm happy with the result and I'm happy I no longer own a green Carcano.
