Navy Garands at CMP

[Cz315]

mk 2 mods 0 and 1 Garands are creating quite a stir on the CMP forum. I placed an order too and hopefully will be getting them too. Will post pics when they are in hand. Anyone here ordered them?

Good luck! PAX

I wasn’t aware until I saw someone complaining bitterly about the price on a FB milsurp group.  I didn’t look into it further (not due to the complaint). I’m guessing it’s a lottery situation like with the M1911A1s? Price?

Good luck! Hope you show it here if you get one.

Regular CMP mail order, I'm guessing Navy just transferred all their supplies in Crane to the CMP. Mod 0 - $900, Mod 1 $1650. I'd say Mod 0 is a deal. Many come close to 'correct', plenty of lockbar sights seen.

Most of what Ive seen people got were really nice examples. Whining about CMP mail orders is all too common It's human nature, someone got something sold but then they see someone got a nice mostly original Winchester with lockbars, uncut op rod and beautiful properly cartouched stock and the  begins.

Wow, they both sound like good to very good prices in today’s market!

Agreed on the whining. There are also a lot of them who don’t understand the CMP mission and that it takes dollars to run their operation. Admittedly, I liked the way Orest ran the CMP better but it’s still a very good operation with an important mission..

They came in today (it's nice to NOT have them shipped to FFL anymore ). Not lottery winners but nice pieces of history. I'm happy with them. Pics to follow when I have time for a proper photo session.

I think the mod0's are a great deal. Highly original, rare variation, almost guaranteed to be 'as is' from the Navy depot and not put together by the CMP at $900 shipped? Buy if you can! (says the enabler)
