I have a CMP M1 Garand that came with a new Boyd Stock. I disassembled the stock and can see in the hidden areas that the stock was stained.
Does anyone know if they also applied any finish on top of the stain and if so what type of finish it is?
To my completely untrained eye it looks like stained raw wood but it would be great to get some expert opinions on this.
Thanks in advance.

Great news. I received an email from CMP that they received my order for a Garand. They are saying it will be at least 30-60 days. I can wait. At least I got it in before the deadline. The order was received 05/16 (the last date for orders) so I will probably get one of the last ones they build (until they open it up again). I have to pickup some ammo now.

Was stored in an attic for unknown number of years, but cleaned up rather nicely. Did not pass through CMP/DCM per their records.

Looking at a potential purchase but need a second opinion. I'm a Garand noob.
Thanks in advance, David

Any chance of opening a conversation on the M1 Garand?
I’ve been looking at a couple in a LGS, I’m interested in owning one as a shooter (keeping in mind that any M1 Garand will have historical value).
My intention is to use it as a shooter, I’d like to compete in 300 yard shoots at my range.
The shop has 4, (I am told) they are all collector grade.
Two Springfield’s with serial numbers in the 35xxxx... range and two H&R’s in the 56xxx...
The SA’s are a bit lower in price, one of them has the arrangement for the grenade launcher (the medallion is attached to the stock, the launcher apparatus is separate). (I’ve already decided that since my primary reason to own one is as a shooter, that I would not get the one with the grenade launcher).
All four have the circled P armory stamps, the H&R’s have the eagle with the stars cartouche stamps.
The actions on all of them are smooth, all barrels are stamped as made in the early to mid 50’s, wood is nice all of them (the H&R’s are darker).
I know and trust the LGS owner, he has assured me that the throat erosion (<2 I believe he said)) along with the “collector grade” assure me that any of these four will make a good “shooter” and hold value.
I’m pretty sure I’m going to “pull the trigger” on this Monday, any comments or suggestions…?
Thanks,

Someone's been doing their homework! The dashboard has saved many people a lot of work in trying to get data that proves that more guns does equal less crime. Data on N.J. Permit to Carry Applications Shows Excessive Waits – Bearing Arms Ironically, Mrs. 45Doll and I just re-upped our PA LTCFS and it took all of three days online. And cost $26.13 each.
