    CMP also recommends that you have a gunsmith go over each rifle.

    Do I need to check M1 Garand headspace from CMP?

    Yes you should definatly check headspace. Rifles are supposed to be test fired and head space checked but some do slip between the cracks, more so lately. Buddy of mine had one that would not close on a go gauge, very dangerous. Also a good idea to atleast replace the op rod spring with one...
