Yeah...I stickied for an H&R with GI wood and this is what I got...but hey, I can't exactly complain! This thing looks like a 'special' grade minus the criterion barrel.

i put in my order for my first Garand this week, a CMP special grade, 3 cans of HXP and a M5A1 bayonet.
Probably don't get many requests for Korean War serial numbers, but we will see.
This might be a silly question, but I should worry about getting an uncut op-rod?
When is the first M1 shoot?
Thanks, I appreciate it.
Ammo shipped the day CMP received the order, mostly 1970's head stamps.
Rifle shipped in three days, 1953? production, 4,312,xxx Springfield.

that was quick. I mailed my order form yesterday. did you have to sign for the ammo too or just the rifle?
Sweet... the next cmp shoot at Hanson rod and gun is Feb4 8am come on down.
Tempting. 200 yards? I shot a practice match on reduced 100 yard targets the other day.
I'm very doubtful you will get a uncut on a special anyway.
They will reserve most "rare" parts to assembly "correct" rifles or sell it on cmp auction.
Rifle looks great, no pitting that I can find, all springfield parts.
Including a 3 SA un cut op rod...
I would assume I shouldn't shoot with this in the rifle?
This was a handy read, thanks. I knew the basics but learned some new stuff.its survived this long ? Im not much into collecting or rare parts. I would see what one could get for a refinished uncut op rod then go from there.

That was a good read thanks. I can't post on the CMP forums for some reason, but I'll see if I can find a buyer on ebay and go from there.
I put some gunny paste on the stock because it was very dry, and greased it up.
Going to the range tomorrow and have some fun.
Hope make the CMP shoot.
Did not notice regular FGs had gone. In the timeline looks like they're at late Nov to early Dec orders on field grades, further back for service grades. One gentleman says he got a Nov '39 serial (20942).As of today, the only M1 Garand available for order from CMP is the FG Special......
Which one did you get today...
I can't get over how FAT those boyds stocks are. They must be afraid of them cracking!
I placed an order for a service grade just before they were listed as sold out on Sept 28th. It was posted to the e-store in early November with no activity since. There has been activity on the timeline for people who ordered a week before so hopefully I am getting closer.Did not notice regular FGs had gone.

the 44 is the one I got today. the clean one with the new wood. I thought that new stock felt different, now that you said thatI went and looked at them again. that is a fat stock compared to the old gi stock.
