I have a CMP special grade which shoots pretty horribly.

 

I'm considering sending mine off to national match armory, but it's quite expensive.

Thanks.

I just sent him an email.

Please report back with your findings/ experience.

bump for feedback

I went whole hog and ordered a custom build from Roland Beaver.

I'll sell my CMP when it arrives.

Ever sell that garand?

No, but not using it either. I don't know if I'm allowed to post a WTS here, but if anyone interested, PM me.
