my CMP USGI service grade Garand

[texgunner]

CMP received my order 11/17/06, the rifle came 3/14/07. That's not quite a four month wait but I think it was worth it. My rifle is a 1944 with birch stock and walnut handguards. The handguards had a very glossy finish so I redid them and the stock with the 3-part handrubbing mixture of 1/3 each BLO, turpentine and melted beeswax. I think it has the original barrel and both it and the receiver are in great shape. What a cool piece of history! I'm honored to be the custodian of such a nice rifle and look forward to passing it on to my son.

Congrats Gary! One of the finest rifles ever to be produced and a true joy to own. Got it to the range yet? Once you get it zeroed you will be amazed how well they do.

Mine is one of my favorite firearms to shoot. Truly a great piece to have.

Oh man, 4 months! I just ordered one last week, I hope it gets here faster than that. BTW, that's a great looking rifle!
