Well as many of you are finally getting into modern rifles Ive gone the other way. In the sea of black in my safe is now something with... a WOOD stock!

Very nice M1!

Very nice. I, too, would like a blend of wood and black guns. So far, only one wood rifle, a Henry 22lr lever action. Its a start!

nice, welcome to the garand world...

Sweet! A garand is on my list to buy.

Very nice. There is nothing quite like a Garand.

Very nice M1!

Hah - beat me to it with that pic

Just in time for the CMP Shoot at CJRPC this Sunday. The one I will be missing.

BEAUTIFUL

Way to go Shane!

I've got wood too after seeing this.... er.... wait....

VERY NICE!!!. And I have entered the world of BLACK! To join all the wood!

Theres no turning back now!

Before you know it, you'll have a 1903 Springfield and a 1917 Enfield sharing space with that Garand. Classic US Military rifles tend to multiply.

I'm waiting for the follow-up picture with the handguard replaced with a rail w/ an Aimpoint and PEQ2

You've seen my mosin - I have a rail that I will be putting on it. May toss an Aimpoint Micro on it too... :X

No sir. I am a traditionalist. As it was is how it will always be

Shane beautiful rifle. It is definately on my short list, probabally next. Did you get her from the CMP? If so how long did it take? Is correct grade the best availablle?

It did come from the CMP but not to me. I believe Collector grade is the next up. Im not aware of anything beyond that. But honestly this is an area outside of my info comfort zone.

Collector grade is the highest grade that is still original. They sell correct grades which are totally refurbished M1's but to me that isn't the point.

 

Collector grade will be the nicest "looking" rifle you can buy and it'll also be all parts matching as well. Usually because of the condition they are in, meaning they weren't shot very much means your going to end up with a fantastic shooting rifle as well.

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.

Collector grade was only available in the store. I was fondling them and drooling too much. I had to walk away before my credit card caught on fire. Beautiful rifle bro. Real wood---some men get it naturally, others have to get it synthetically. Welcome to the natural club.

I often thought that the men that get it synthetically must have ugly wives

LoL

Matt, it is my understanding tha Collector and Correct grades are original finish, not refinished.

That is what the CMP website (www.thecmp.org) seems to say too. There is a "Special" grade that is all new parts, but the collector and correct grades are surplus.
