I am totally psyched!

Good deal. Just warning you, you'll be checking the estore every hour now.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!

Congrats man, I so have to fill out the paperwork. Is service grade the best you can get from the CMP?

i got mine today, it is near perfect. has a replacement stock and te 2 mw 1

the place that did the transfer it said it would easily bring over $1000 as he is convinced that they sent me the nicest gharand he ever saw

where did you go for the transfer?

mastodon in Highland lakes, they have FFL on file with cmp. Totally painless

And they're good guys with reasonable prices on everything they sell.

Pics or it didn't happen

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.

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!

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.

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!

Who are you kidding, you are the perpetual college student.

Matt will still be in college, when we are all about to retire....... I figured it out!! Matt is NJIT's very own Van Wilder!!!!!!!

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.
