CMP M1 Garand Service Grade

[griff383]

Great day at the range!!

I just got back from the range with my service grade M1. You wouldn't believe this group without a picture. The small group is 3 shots, the lonley one on top was my fault for a total of 4 shots. And this was all done with HXP!!

There were a few other guys at the range and when I looked through the spotting scope I told them I was going home because my day was only going to go downhill from there.

At last!

After what seemed like forever, my rifles arrived today, 2011 May 10.

I mailed my order on April 08, CMP received it April 11, I received my initial email on April 14, and the order was opened in the E-store on May 05. The rifle was ready to ship Friday afternoon, but it didn't go out until yesterday (Monday) morning. It was 29 days from CMP receiving my order to receipt of my rifles.

As for the rifles, I'm very pleased with them. One is a Service Grade HRA with SA bolt, HRA barrel, HRA trigger group, and SA op. rod. The other is a Field Grade WRA with WRA bolt, SA barrel, WRA/SA trigger group, and SA op. rod. So far, all I've done is a quick inspection.

Here are the links to a few quick photographs of the rifles:
