I got an email from CMP this evening that they shipped my M1 Garand. Checked the FedEx tracking number. Estimated time of delivery is 10:30 AM tomorrow. I feel like a little kid on Christmas eve. Woohoo !!!

Sweet.

This past weekend my grandfather handed down some of his old guns that he does not use anymore, and one of them was a M1.

What "grade" is the garand you ordered?

That is a Special grade. And, a darned beautiful one at that!

Yep it's the Special Grade. Chalk writing in the stock when it arrived listed it as number 268 of 1000. I love Christmas. I ran the serial number on the Receiver. It came back as being made in 1945.
