Garand Questions

[Garand Questions]

From my own experience of being at the CMP store I will say the quality of the Winchester's are MUCH lower than that of the Springfield's and the HRA's. When I went I had my heart set on a Springfield, there was no way I was coming home with anything different. I ended up coming home with an HRA. The HRA's are near perfect for a service grade.

 

IMO because I want a shooter, I'd rather spend less money and get the HRA or Springfield over the Winchester.

 

I'm guessing you mean the WRA field grades? I ordered a WRA Service grade and I somewhat expect it to be worse than my SA service but i'm hoping not too bad. I got this SA back in late 06 so its a totally different batch.

Ahhh got ya. Grats on finishing. I'm there currently with this being hopefully my last semester. Can not wait to get out of that crap hole.

 

Thanks, it's a good school but you're just kinda there for the education, not much else.

You'll get through! Good luck!

Thanks Matt that's the info I was looking for.

 

For what it's worth, they aren't currently selling Collector grades so Correct is the best current offering.

Side note, do you go to the school NJIT by chance?

 

I did (years ago, when I first chose my internet handle). I graduated in 05/06.

they have the guy i went thru on file, i stapled a card and put a note to ship to them

 

Cool thanks. I'll send my order out tomorrow! I haven't ordered a rifle from CMP since they had the mossberg M44US available a couple years ago. It's always an exciting feeling!

Silly question... how did you fill out the forms? Just put the FFLs address as the ship to address? Did you have to obtain a copy of the FFL license or just have it faxed like usual? I haven't ordered since the new rules.

Just registered after being referred by "OldSlabsides" here on the forum. Met up for a transaction and thought I should pop on in, say hello and see what you all are about.

So, Hello!
