Thanks Dave. Once I finally get moved and some good income coming in I will look into getting one. American Rifleman went to the CMP and did a tour/expo on the CMP. Pretty interesting.

, this one will bench 1-1/2" at 100 yards for eight with practice handloads. That what you want?

Thats nice!! That's not what's coming out of the CMP these days is it? My M1 carbine needs a big brother.

Ooh, me likes this thread. I've been wanting an M1 for as long as I can remember.

[Dave Waits]

No, it's not. I built that one from a bare receiver I bought from the CMP for $150.00

My service grade Springfield, it's all SA except for the Operating Rod which was HRA and I promptly traded away. I really scored on this service grade, damn near a correct grade.

Mee tooo.... I've wanted one since I was a boy. But to buy from CMP you have to be a member of a CMP organization don't you? Local club? Or is NRA membership enough....

For $35 you can buy a Garandgear "Ported Gas Plug" and shoot any ammo you can find without causing issues (according to them).

What say you, Dave?
