Oh man I need to get some cash together. Is it difficult to rechamber these to 308 ?
New barrel and adjusting size of gas port is all you need to shoot 308.
CMP was selling a Special grade with choice of 30-06 or 308.

At today's Garand price, rebarrel to 308 will cost close to a M1A if you have a smith do it. I thought about getting a CMP Garand but I don't want to add another caliber while Garand is 30-06 and I don't have any 30-06. Thinking of rebarrel to 308 as well, but probably not worthwhile while I have a M14 platform rifle already. CMP Service Grade is now $750, barrel is $200+ and gun smith may easily cost another $200 then probably want a new stock which is another $200. A main reason to own a M1 Garand is it is a piece of history but changing to 308 is not exactly that anymore.
I actually wonder if rebarrel to 308 add value or hurt the value. Folks willing to pay more to buy a 308 Garand or they prefer to have one in 30-06 as the rifle that won the war?
Anyone know the condition of these rifles coming back from Philippine and Turkey? How do they compare to previous CMP Garands?

I would love to have one and i dont mind paying the higher price but i had no idea of the hoops i have to jump through just to be able to buy one.
Send a copy of my birth cert and my hunter safety course card with live fire training, a little much but doable, but i also have to be a member of a group that competes too? One that the CMP recognizes at that? I dont compete and never have other than with my friends. It just seems excessive.
Im a red, white, and blue American, i have live fire training, im a member of the NRA, i have cash money and am ready and willing to spend it on an M1 to shoot and cherish for the rest of my life, thats not enough to buy from the CMP?
...ship the rifle to I assume to the FFL holder of my choosing?
Maybe! With so many Garands coming in the price may drop back to $160!Do I need another Garand?
How about going back to the DCM limit of one ever? The CMP is self supporting and if they could not flog stuff out the door in quantity, they could not operate.
I was appalled when they increased the purchase limit to five. A gun show wheeler dealer here signed up his whole family, everybody ordered five, giving him 25 rifles to work with. He took them down and started matching parts, buying a few pieces. He was able to assemble several "correct" M1s which he sold for a large profit. He sold the rest of the "mixmasters" for a small profit, keeping essentially free shooters for himself and his sons.
When CMP was selling .22s, I went to the South Store and bought a NIB Kimber. I later got an H&R. I would have bought one of the cheap used Kimbers but the guy ahead of me bought every one worth having, four or five rifles.

How do they get around the law and ship to individuals not FFL or C&R but still charge OH residents sale tax!
Not "getting around the law." Not in the slightest. See 18 USC 922 (b)(3) (emphasis added):How do they get around the law and ship to individuals not FFL or C&R but still charge OH residents sale tax

The CMP has switched from FedEx to UPS shipping?

I have a problem with someone signing their name to a form that says they are buying this for their own personal use, while intending to resell it all along.
