CMP - Garands from the Philippines
Looks like the CMP might be getting some Garands back from the Philippines as part of "Lend - Lease" programs.

Speculation on the CMP forums as to the conditions they might be in. It will be nice to replenish the CMP's supplies to keep them going.

From my experience with the Philippine forces, they will be in good mechanical shape, very little to no rust, little parkerizing left, and the stocks will be fair to poor.
Best guess would be, needs a stock and refinish
Gotta start somewhere - time to get #2
I hope this does go through as anyone who has shot mine always asks where they can get one...
I can't wait to see what else this opens up from so many others trying to send surplus rifles back to the US and not being allowed. Be nice for CMP to get stocked back up and have a variety again at good prices. Last Service grade M1 I got in 2012 was in LNIB condition.
You have to be a member of CMP to partake yes?
One of these days I'll get on that. This is good for all though!
A member of CMP ranges or a veteran. Plenty of places to join for cheap and get a rifle shipped to your door.
