I never could figure out how to get past CMP's complicated forms to get one delivered.
For those that say it is easy, easier said than done for me.

[Dave1965]

Always just thought a road trip to Ohio or Alabama would be the best bet to get one.

[Jff24Gordn]

Just make sure you have all of your paperwork before you drive to AL or OH. It would be bad to waste a day driving and not get anything.

This is what pissed me off last time. Found a club to join but was $100 a year and not accepting new members.

[Dave1965]

I also understood you could join the Garand collectors society which is $25

So if I have a DD214 that I take with me, it should really suffice I would say...Correct?

[WLJ]

Wish they would find a bunch of M1 Carbines as well

[Toddstang]

Wish people who bought them would go into details of purchase for us morons who never have. When I call them I'm put on hold with no answer.

[Gunsmokin]

This is the whole kit and kaboodle.

[ssracer]

CCDW license counts for participation...that's good

[Dave1965]

Chrystal clear.

well not really, for example, proof of affiliate organization includes active, reserves or retired etc. Does it include prior military? If so that counts for both organization and marksmanship.

So, I have very little knowledge about M1's, the luck of the draw for a field grade and price, also, does it matter which manufacturer makes a better product?

[Bama]

If only they were guaranteed to be .308

About like everything else, would you rather have WINCHESTER or SPRINGFIELD. Most people say WINCHESTER based on name recognition and scarcity. They bring more money because they only made 500k rifles during WW2 (Only Springfield and Winchester made them during WW2), whereas Springfield made some 3.5 Million rifles.

After WW2, they were made by H&R, IHC (International Harvester) and Springfield.
Springfield made like 600k +, IHC around 330K, and H&R around 410k+ if my memory is right. They offered some IHC this year and those things didn't last long. A friend of mine here in town got one and it was one of the reworked ones, it was beautiful.

So since there are over 4 million Springfields produced and around 410K H&R produced, I would say your chances of a Springfield to H&R on any given day is 10 to 1. Better chances if you go get it. And of course it all depends on what conditions they have in what brands. I would spend the extra 100 bucks to get out of Field Grade personally and into Service Grade.

Having put together a Garand from scratch, trying to buy Winchester parts for a Winchester receiver is much more expensive than Springfield. There are lots of parts out there but people price them accordingly. It was fun to do and didn't take much except finding the parts at an acceptable price point I wanted to pay to keep the rifle affordable. Two years ago I traded for a solid ww2 Springfield and later ended up getting around 2300 for it because its parts were all ww2 correct.
