SERVICE GRADE M1 GARAND DESCRIPTION
Service Grade Rifles will show less wear and a better cosmetic appearance than a Field or Rack Grade. Cosmetic condition will be good to very good. Rifle finish may vary, exhibiting normal wear and/or color variation among the metal parts. May have some visible pitting, frosting, or other minor cosmetic deformity on the metal parts. Stock sets may consist of any species of wood (or combination thereof); and could exhibit dents, dings, scratches, and/or structurally insignificant cracks. New production, commercial stock sets may be used, and will likely exhibit signs of wear and prior use. Bores will be bright, and free of any major defect that would be visible to the naked eye. The exterior circumference of the barrel crown may be nicked, dented, or dinged, but such deformity will not extend into the bore. Service Grade muzzles will gauge “3 or less” and the throat erosion will gauge less than 5. A reasonable allowance for gauge tolerances will be afforded.
Manufacturer selection guarantees only that the receiver was produced by the manufacturer listed. The barrel, receiver, and other parts may have been produced by other manufacturers; and may also be of commercial origin with original, re-parkerized, or other commercial finish.

Thank you all that work at the CMP! My brother in law and I took a one way flight down to the south store and we bought our first m1 garands together, and made a 12 hour drive back up to home! Even 3 weeks later I’m still ecstatic about the experience. It was a great memory. Even went to talladega and shot them. Next year we plan to go to the north store a few hours away. Thank you all again for your work and knowledge and helpfulness.

I have bought two service grade CMP M1's, one 25 years ago and one about 20. I also bought ammo from CMP. Always a pleasure to deal with. The first, and best rifle was sent to my home and the second I picked myself in Anniston. Both great shooters in good shape. First one was a pretty low number SA. Second was SA, with higher number. If I were younger I would be looking at the Philippine stuff. But I can no longer shoot high powered long guns due to an injury, so that is out. CMP is awesome.

Most of what CMP sells is junk, and if they even have a mint or near mint M1, they overcharge for it and make you jump through hoops to get one. Even an FFL03 has to. When I had a FFL03 I bought a 1955 Springfield Armory M1 Garand in 30-06 back in October 2017 for $1525 Veteran Discount and free shipping. It spent decades in storage. By the serial number it was made in December of 1955, one of the last ones made. Near perfect condition. DoD acceptance Cartouche and the wood is darkened from age. A few minor dings and dents from handling, Bluing is 99%. Sling included. Bore is bright and sharp grooves. Only test fired. I had to zero it. Apparently never issued.

@dw7094 2 ай бұрын

The prices CMP charges for these Garands is ridiculous. I understand there are certain costs associated with servicing these rifles, however these rifles were bought and paid for, some with blood, over 60+ years ago. It's highway robbery for what they charge for them. The CMP under the DCM was not designed to operate like this.
