CMP getting 99,000 more Garands

[alleycat]

So I would estimate 2019 being a banner year for the cmp. There is a ton of work involved in getting all those rifles ready. I still would love a Winchester special or a. .308 special. I should of bought one when I was there last year. Heck I had the win special in my hands!

Same here....not sure why i didn't buy it

I'm curious, are those all with new wood in the pic?

That's new wood.

The win specials were awesome! Look at those beauties!

Yeah, I thought so. Purdy in their own way, but I have a love for walnut. If only these could have new stocks like Full Stock CZ's, can you imagine the draw they'd get.

alleycat 10thmountain What exactly makes up a "Special".
Is it a shooter or a collector grade?

It is a USGI receiver, bolt, oprod, trigger group in a new stock and new criterion barrel. great shooter no collector value.

Total shooter. New barrel, stock, reparked parts. Super nice.

Sounds like the Garand I am in the market for!

Not a fan of the CMP rebuilding and refinishing the Garands and 1911's, saw a supposed picture of one of the 1911's and it looked brand spanking new
