I'm wanting to get my first M1 Garand. I've shot two different ones in the past and the time is finally approaching for me to get one.
I've heard good things about the CMP, but never realized there was such a long wait time. Right now it says "service grade" is a 2-6 month wait. If I knew for sure it was gonna be 2 months or less, I'd be willing to wait… but that's a pretty broad range of time they're estimating.
I don't mean to sound whiny but if it's gonna take that long I'd rather spend a little extra for something I can see and examine in person AND get right away.
If you've used the CMP in the past year or so, was the wait time longer or shorter than predicted? How was the condition of your rifle? At this point I'm reconsidering my choice; being able to buy one right away, especially when I know what I'm getting, seems very appealing. I'm curious to hear about others' recent experiences with the CMP
