Well, having lusted after Garands for years and not having one, I finally made the investment and purchased 12 Garands from CMP (12 is the yearly limit). I got 4 field grade H&R's, 4 Service grade Springfields, 3 service grade H&R's and 1 CMP Special.
I here it takes roughly 2-3 months for orders to come in. I am also considering assembling maybe a couple correct (or nearly so) rifles from parts from the others.
My question though is for folks that have been through this before: What do I need to know now? About the rifles, cleaning (I figure Kerosene will be fine for the metal), condition, shipping times, etc? I am very giddy about my purchase and so very eager to get them and cuddle them in my arms...
