soon to be a garand owner!

Recommended Posts

I ordered a springfield garand, service grade and some spam cans from CMP about 10 days ago....AND, my card was charged Saturday!

that means I will have my garand by wednesday!

I am totally psyched!

 

 

Wow! That's really quick! They must be basically caught up. When did you get your 'don't bother us' email?

Well, a great chance for you to try out your new to would be 17 Oct at CJRPC, for the JCG Match. Not sure who else may be going, but I am planning on it, its the last one of the year. They didnt have the SG special when I ordered mine, else I would have picked it.

haha! I did and I know the serial number...5.82xxx, got the shipping email too!

 

 

Very nice! Always loved to see that - now to just wait for that Big White Truck!

 

Please post pics, I'm curious as well. I received a Springfield Service Grade from them about 2 years back and have been very happy with it. They put new wood on it, but it's a 5 digit s/n, which put it at November 1940. New barrel from 1955 and some other mixed parts, but I bought it to shoot...>Shoots pretty darn well if I do my part.

Heads up for ya. All of the garands I picked up from the cmp about three weeks ago had almost no cosmo on them, until I took the bolt apart. The inside of the bolt was fully caked with the great goo. Because of the garands floating firing pin, if not cleaned the bolt can cause a slamfire situation. Be sure to clean this before firing. Also pics needed ASAP. They are awesome rifles and great pieces of history to boot. You will love it!!!!!!!!!!!

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!

 

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

I wonder if (hypothetically, of course) one could ask FedEx to hold your CMP rifles at a FedEx depot for pickup by oneself thus avoiding the FFL dealer. I know people can ask them to hold packages for Pickup and the CMP only ships them as Adult Signature Required. hmmm...

 

I know that before NJ got involved - I picked up all my rifles from the CMP at Fedex - I was never home during the day to sign.

 

Also - I went to NJIT as well - and still hate newark.

    • So, as I interpret things, you get a hit on #1. It says nothing about feeding from said magazine, just that the magazine attaches to the pistol outside of the pistol grip. And it is attached. Was this what was considered when it was written? 100% no. However, this is NJ and I don't think they would give you an inch when as written it covers it in plain english.  #2 would be a hard yes if you put a threaded barrel on your setup, so I'd not do that.  #3... well it's not a shroud, but it does allow you to hold the firearm with the nontrigger hand without being burned. Shroud is ill defined, and it could be argued to partially enshroud the barrel from the bottom. I would bet cash money that the AG would gladly say that second part there is to clarify the intent of the law and that since you can do that, you violated the stated intent of the law. 
    • I don't know why we ( NJ gun organizations ) have not yet filed a lawsuit on "duty to inform"  A clear violation of the constitution 5th and probably 4th.  Maybe this guys lawyer will and get that charge dropped.  what other right do you need to inform a law enforcement officer of.    are you required to identify as a republican or democrat during an encounter, and by the way,  what constitutes an encounter.  voluntary? involuntary?   time to get this one knocked down. come on ANJRPC stop waiting for court decisions and go on the attack.
    • Right, each location will have a different set of Repeater frequencies you can use in your area.  You could also just have 2 sets of CHIRP files ready to go and make sure you have the ability to program them quickly in a SHTF situation.  Maybe dedicate at least one radio for each location with specific programming, and then when you get there you can re-program the radios you take with you with the programming specific to that location.   More expensive radios have the ability to program them via your phone app and BT connection.
