I made a trip to the CMP today and hand selected an HRA M1 Garand. I was a man on a mission today. Here is the rifle:

Here is a video from inside the south store in Anniston, AL:

Excellent looking rifle. HRA's made some very nice M1's. How orignal is it. I've seen some at the store that are only a couple parts from being all correct.

This HRA just needs a gas plug and trigger group to be all correct.

$625 for the Springfield's and H&R's and $795 for the Winchester's.

Exactly, the rifle and 3-cans of HXP, 200 loose rounds per can, came to $1000 out the door. I could have saved an additional $25 or so dollars having the rifle shipped home, but I did not want to wait for it any longer than I have to.

You did great, Those parts are easy to find so you can make a correct out of her for way less than what the CMP price is.

There is some confliction with correcting this rifle though... correcting the rifle would ruin the LEAD rebuild. Since I am rather partial to the trigger guard, and the LEAD rebuild parked all of the parts, I'll leave this rifle as is.

Thanks, yeah, I'm partial to the CMP rifles myself. I was hoping to shoot the rifle tomorrow morning, but arid-Alabama is now in need of a boat...
