anywhere from 2 to 8 weeks depending on what you ordered, the demand for that item, and the time of year. |

| Well guys, I did get my M1 SA Garand from the CMP on December 10, 2003. I was very happy with the results. I did get a good one! Here's what I got: SA-November, 1944, all original except "NM" operating rod. Wood was a little beat up, but I refinished it,( no proff marks except "195" stamped under the hand guard?) and it looks a lot better. Muzzle shows about 3/16" bullet, can't check throat, don't have a gauge. Shot 5 clips, and it zeroed in with just a few shots. Can't get out to shoot it again until it stops snowing!!!!! |

| Congrats Reload, I have had my M-1 for 6 years now, really enjoy it. Is a late model H&R that shoots very food groups. Again, enjoy your weapon, its a good one.
Good luck and good shooting,

| THANKS ETERRY!! I have been out with the M1 three times now, and can't explain why I haven't got one of these earlier! Do you reload? I have been working up some loads for my M1, and so far the VARGET powder works the best. (works great with the BLACK rifle too!) I have been able to shoot 8 rounds in a 2" target at 100 yards, but want to do better. Am I expecting more than I should? The rear site wobbles a bit, so I am going to try the rubber band method........does it work, or should I try something else? Dan |

If that's with surplus ball, that's great shooting. If it's with handloads, that's still pretty good. Most of them make about 4" 5 shot groups at 100 yds with ball ammo.
Sounds like you may need a new spring cover for the sight. |

| I shimed the aperture with a .012" printing plate. I cut 1/8" strips and put them under the base channel the aperture rides in, then left 1/2" to fold under the base. It really tighened up the sight. Just want to get the most out of the ole rifle I can. As soon as it stops snowing and blowing, I'll give it another try.......Thanks for all the replies!! |

pa frank;
u are a lucky son of a gun.
i would give my left nut for a c.m.p. m1d. always wanted one especially if it was in pristine shape. i took the required course but never ordered a gun becuase they told me all the m1c and d's were long gone, and this was at least 5 yrs ago.
how much did u pay and how does it shoot at distance? i am sitting down. sounds like u have the gun i wanted from them.
can u put me in your will?

Cold zero:
I don't know quite how to tell you this.... but it's gone.. I sold it about 3 years ago. I got it from the CMP in 96 or 97 and paid $1025 for it, delivered. I only ever shot it at 100 yards, but it gave me 2" groups consistently with ball ammo. From what I understand, it was a trickey gun to shoot at various distances because of the offset scope.
The reason I sold it was because I'm a lefty and the ony way I could comfortably shoot it was from the bench.
I might consider putting you in my will for my 03A4 if you do all my reloading for me for the next 10 years though..  |
