Re: CMP Wait Time
I've ordered eight guns from the CMP over the past six years and I've had it take anywhere from 2-4 weeks. If I were a betting man I would say three weeks.
The following thread from the CMP website will give you an idea of what it's looking like now;

Re: CMP Wait Time
I'll go with the 3 week guess. They don't have any exotic stuff their releasing right now that clogs up the system.
Nothing near the backlog they had with they released the M1C/D sniper equipment.
Two to three weeks sounds about right.

Re: CMP Wait Time
Well she guessed the 4th and I guessed the 14th, so its going to be a close one. Person who gets closest gets first clip thru it and dinner on the other person. I ordered a service grade springfield so I'm hoping the 3-4 weeks is right on the money. Thanks fella's

Re: CMP Wait Time

Yeah but I dont feel like paying 2 times the amount because I was impatient, plus the wait makes it all the better when it dose come in.

Re: CMP Wait Time
I agree, I'm a cheap bastard....but if you ever get the chance to go to one of the stores do it. I made a road trip to the south store five years ago. It is very cool to walk in there and see racks and racks of M1 Garands (and whatever else they have at the time) just waiting for you to pick them over. I walked out with a Garand, a 1903A1, a 1917 Eddystone, and a case of .30-06 (and a smoking credit card

Re: CMP Wait Time
Here is something to think about. You either are going to pay shipping or your're going to pay sales tax.
If you oder the the rifle, you don't pay the sales tax. The sales tax for both Ohio and Alabama is higher then the shipping fee.
There is away about this if you want to "pick out your rifle". At both stores you can pick your rifle, pay for it, and have them ship it. You can save a bit on the sales tax.

It was Greek HXP in the en bloc clips, good stuff. The CMP currently has only the HXP loose now. I never had any problems with it and I never had any rounds that had any discoloration or corrosion as pictured on the CMP site. I've found that the CMP always gives you the worst case scenario when it comes to describing an item. I also bought Lake City from the CMP when they had it, also good stuff but the HXP is very comparable.

Re: CMP Wait Time
Don't worry yet, give it another week. They should send you an email stating that they are processing your order.

Re: CMP Wait Time
I purchased an M1 Garand in May of last year. Fortunately for me, the CMP is only 1.5hours drive each way for me,so I cannot share a wait timeline. I did order some ammo online, but that was straight from the e-store. By this time, I had already made my road trip, so all of my info was on file.
Like a dumass I let my Garand go due to some bills that needed tending to, but as of right now, I am planning a trip back to get my second M1 Garand. The whole family (including my wife) is palnning to go with me. The date is February 4th.
Here is video I shot from my first trip to the CMP:

What ever you end up with, hold on to it... find some other way to pay those pesky bills...

Re: CMP Wait Time
I ordered a Springfield special service grade last summer and it took less than three weeks. I don't know why but they even shipped it to me Fedex overnight. Maybe that was my karma paying off.

Re: CMP Wait Time
Now you can start acquiring a few extras for it! While most of them come in better shape than CMP (being conservative) describes them, it's a good idea to have a spare op-rod spring. Go to http://www.m1garand.com/store/m1_garand_spares_kits.html#57 and consider getting at least the spring kit and if you can the expanded kit. You'll keep that rifle operational for your grandkids.
The one other thing I ever got was a NIW gas cylinder. My reasoning for that is that once the interior of the cylinder wears out, it can't be refinished. You can have the button on the op-rod replaced and maybe get it oversized.
At least CMP seems to be pretty serious about keeping the Criterion (Krieger) barrels in stock.

Re: CMP Wait Time
The first rifle I ordered took about three months to get fulfilled. It was back in 2006 or so when they said they were out and weren't going to be able to get any more, and I ordered a service grade and apparently they couldn't find any, so I ended up changing my order for a field grade and it came about a month after I called. I stupidly ended up selling it to fund an AR build, so when they got more in about a year or so later I ordered another, which took less than a month to be fulfilled. Not sure how long my M1 Carbine order in 2009 took since I sent it in from Iraq about four months before I got home and it was waiting for me in my dad's garage.

Re: CMP Wait Time
I ordered a SA Service Grade, I sent an e-mail today. I dont get out of work until just about an hour before they close then I set on hold for the remaining hour they are open until they close. I still haven't heard anything from them is why and the paperwork was delivered (according to USPS) the 21st so yeah, if I do get a hold of someone on the phone I will be sure to let them know about the delema I've had so far. Before you all jump all over me I am taking into consideration everything I can ( I've worked for the Government....), I know how paperwork flows. My major complaint is I some how am ALWAYS CALLER #5 for the entire hour I set on hold. Im being patient and hurrying and waiting fella's........

Re: CMP Wait Time
If you get the email about customer number, you can start tracking it there. Expect about 10-14 days to initial email, than they cash check and than processing app email.
ETA: Just bought an adjustable gas plug on another site

Re: CMP Wait Time
Nice rifle, congrats! That really makes me want to order another one...they're going to run out eventually.
I have two CMP Garands and two sons, I guess it's time to buy myself one!

Re: CMP Wait Time
Now that I look back USGILT, my paper work got there the day of the 19th and you are already holding your rifle. Something tells me I got screwed over on this, I mean I don't even have a confirmation e-mail, something smells of bullshit in my area....

Re: CMP Wait Time
I know its frustrating but give CMP the opertunity to make it right I have no doubt that they will. They process everything in the order they recieve it and lets face it CMP is not around to make money but to sustain the shooting program so they do not have highly advanced automated systems. Its possible that your order is under the mountain of other orders and they just haven't gotten to it yet. Keep the faith it will be worth it in the end!

Re: CMP Wait Time
You guys are getting them pretty quick. I ordered one about 4 years ago and it took 4 months to get it. It was worth the wait.

Re: CMP Wait Time
I stopped by CMP south in Anniston yesterday. The had a better than normal selection of service grade M1's in stock. Also good selection of P-17s. If you are close it is a good opportunity to get a great rifle. Also they had one M1C no scope or mount

While we wait for N2DADARK's pics to arrive... I was finally able to find the time to shoot my Springfield M1 that I picked up earlier this month at the CMP South Store. Here is a little video I managed of the outing. Included in the video is my Widener's Special Yugoslavian M48...

I am no marksman, as you will see at the end of the video, but these old M1 Garands are just a bunch of fun to shoot...

Re: CMP Wait Time
Okay so here it is, in from CMP. I did a little looking and the reciever is around 1954. CMp replaced the stock (would have like to have to old one for shits and giggles) , the trigger assy. is around the same time frame as well. There is hardly any wear on any metal what so ever, no digs or scratches, just wear on things like the sight hoods and bayonet lug. The rifling is freaking outstanding, its like new! The metal looks a little miss matched in the photo's but in person you cannot tell if they are or not, its that nice. I took a little grease on some parts and the thing is running smooth as silk. There is a little packing grease on the trigger but a little TLC will get rid of it. All in all its a great rifle, the thing fits so tight in the stock its like it was bedded in there, I have to take a wooden spoon and tap it from the bottom out just to take it off, so I cant wait to shoot it. I picked up some ammo from cheaper than dirt and hope to shoot this weekend. Ask me any questions and Ill be more then glad to take it out and drool over it some more. Enjoy
