First time CMP

[bobbyfairbanks]

I just sent off the envelope with everything needed to order 3 M1 Garands from CMP. I mailed from Afghanistan and it is the 11 of Jun. I am hoping to get them by the end of July when I get home. I have been Dreaming about doing this for over 15 years.

Early congrats on the M1's!

Also, thank you for your service and come home safe!

Get ready to learn all about the M1. Since you're getting 3- you'll have great fun learning about the parts, swapping parts as necessary to match the right part with the right rifle. You may even get an opportunity to swap a barrel, as the right barrel for one of them may be on another. You'll prob be able to match up the wood better, based on color, grain and condition. You did a good thing.

Ya I figured that 3 ways a good number. Can never have to many guns and M1 Garands are probable my favorite one out there. I am very excited about this. It feels like I am a kid waiting for Christmas.

Mailed my letter off to CMP on the 11th from Afghanistan. Today I got my email from CMP telling me they got it and gave me my order number. 28 JUN plus max of 60 days brings me to 27 Aug for ship date. So at the latest I should see them by the first week of September.

Today is the 13th of July. They charged my card! On the pending orders section it says "ship date TBD". But they still charged my card! So hopefully that means shipping is coming soon!
