You guys mailed me a beautiful 50's era Garand. I can't believe how accurate the rifle shoots out to two hundred yards. I feel like I own a piece of history. Even my son, who is not involved in the shooting sports, thinks it's one of the most beautiful rifles he has ever seen. Thanks again for the wonderfully quick service. Greg C.

I received the call at work this morning and my wife simply said "it's here." I raced home to find an M1 Garand that I will cherish for the rest of my life. When I told my wife that my dad, her dad or uncle could have used this during their service in World War II, she got emotional and said she now understood why I ordered one. I was impressed with your packaging, quick delivery, documentation, and condition of my rifle. The stock shows a lot of history and the receiver and barrel appear to be in excellent shape. I look forward to many trips to the range. You folks run a first class operation and thank you. Bill R. Nashville

CMP Greek AMMO is SUPER!! Thanks, CMP, for again offering the best .30-06 ammo for the money on the market. Many complimentary words appear about the fine rifles coming out of CMP. The ammo is great, too. I bought the HXP, packed tactical...8rd clips and bandoleers...in sealed spam cans, 4 cans to the solid wooden case. Not one blemished cartridge so far. Not one misfire. Grouping well at 100 yds. out of my match Garand. I'll be buying more before it, too, becomes a legend. Thanks, J. Wayne H . Harrisburg, PA

I just received my Field Grade M1 Garands and they are in excellent condition and are in great shape inside and out. I just cant thank you all enough for the services you all provide us in keeping the shooting sport and these legendary US battle rifles available to the shooter and collector. The CMP staff are second too none and deserve a great thanks for all the hard work it is keeping these great pieces of history available too us. Thanks again, Charles B.

Just wanted to say "Thanks guys". I had always wanted an M1903 and finally ordered one from you. Picked it up at FedEx last night, raced home and opened the box. I was not disappointed. An excellent looking rifle. I look forward to a day spent cleaning the rifle and getting it ready for the range. Jim P . Fayetteville

Subject: FYI - pink Greek wax on some CMP guns
Hi all,
I think most of you know I recently bought a collector-grade M1 from CMP, and was surprised to find...not the typical brown "axle grease" cosmoline, but a strange (Greek) pink waxy stuff, almost like animal fat or something.
And nothing will cut this stuff, not acetone, not kerosene, nothing! Because the gun was so minty, I didn't want to risk damaging it, so I painstakingly scrapped the waxy pink goo off the metal with toothpicks! (yeah, it took a bunch!) When I got it down to just bare metal, I used Acetone and rags. Several applications were required, because the first few applications would just smear the wax around and after contact with the acetone, it would become very milky-looking and it made a mess.
Throughout this process, I tried to remain positive - despite my grumbling and cursing - reminding myself that this stuff probably preserved the metal from scratches, wear, and "age patina" by the fact that it was so thick and seemingly impervious to anything. This minty $1400 collector-grade gun is as close to a "new in the box" $12,000 auction gun as I'm gonna get.
Got everything cleaned up after a few days of "elbow grease" and had only one part left - the long op-rod spring...Which was completely encased in this pink wax. My toothpicks, acetone and rags procedure wasn't going to work.
Thankfully, my wife produced a craft "Milwaukee Heat Gun" that she had. This is a heavy-duty "hair dryer," capable of 750 and 1000 degrees F, with 1200 watts and 4100 BTU's. It can be used to loosen lug nuts, thaw frozen pipes, etc. So, I turned this thing on the op-rod spring, and the pink stuff ran off like water! I couldn't believe how easy it was!
So....the next time someone gets one of these "pink" guns, or asks the question on Culver's shooting page....tell them to do a search on Milwaukee Heat Gun, made by MHT Products of New Berlin, WI.
Make a very tough job very easy, and you won't get (further) brain-damaged as I did with the acetone!...MB

I just received my second M-1 Garand, the last one in 1997. As always, I got your fast and efficient service. From sending in the forms to receiving my rifle, 20 working days! And I’m from Hawaii! That’s got to be a record! Thanks again for everything. Satisfied Customer, Danny K.

My father was a veteran in both WWII and Korea and I wanted the opportunity to purchase a M1 grand or a M1 carbine in memory of him. Your program seems to be my opportunity to do that. Robert A.

Got my Plainfield carbine barreled receiver. When I looked down the barrel I thought they aren't kidding about "consider all barrels bad". However after some Silikroil and a good brushing, I actually could see some rifling! I like a challenge, so after half a tube of Flitz, half a can of Kano Silikroil, a pile of patches, some steel wool, a half gallon of wine, (the wine was for me) and last but not least, a whole can of Hog Wash it is now "good". No bench rest shooter is going to mug me for the barrel but all in all it's not to shabby. Looks like someone greased the bore when it was dirty and stored it in a basement for 40 years or so. Any way, I am well on my way to a good "shooter". Bead blasting and a Parkerizing job will go a long way towards making this little guy presentable. Do you have any idea how or why the Army came into possession of Plainfield and Universal receivers, seems like they would have had more than enough M-1 carbines seeing that over 6,000,000 were made. This was the best $50 I've ever spent. Thanks for the e-mail notification. Charlie B. Diamond, IL

Attn: Ms Nina Michaels
I would like to take this opportunity to personally thank you and the staff at CMP for service and a product that was well above my expectations. The M1 Garand arrived earlier than I expected. When I opened the box the weapon was simply beautiful. My sons gave it to me as a gift and wanted me to have it because my father, Joe Fox Wofford, Sr., carried one in WWII. While I was holding it, I shared a tear. I knew it wasn't his weapon but in my heart I knew it was similar to his. The M1 Garand will be cherished by me for many years and then proudly given to one of my sons, perhaps Joe Fox Wofford, III. I also just received the milled trigger guard via FedEx. It is perfect. The guard fitted well and it truly makes the rifle complete. Thank you again for service above and beyond the average and for your personal touch with a customer that appreciates everything you have done.
I look forward to being kept updated with new items offered by your company in the future. I will do my very best to encourage anyone interested in an excellent product and service to look no further than CMP ...
Thank you and kindest regards,
Joe Fox Wofford, Jr.

I am currently deployed to the middle east and placed an order for 2 Garands and an m1903 .My wife was kind enough to send me a video of her and my son opening the packaging and inspecting the rifle. I must say what I can see through the cosmoline its a beautifully charactered rifle and I am pleased and just wanted to say thank you and I look forward to the same with the Garands . thank you .

Hi, I just wanted to thank everyone again for all their help. Part of the my order shipped out almost immediately. They were packed well, and arrived in good shape. Your system seems to work wonderfully, especially with the account log in to see the status of an order. With the amount of traffic you must process, your level of service is great! Many customers are quick to write when something is wrong, but fail to write when something is good. I just wanted to let you know I am a very satisfied customer and please pass on my thanks.

I just picked up my Springfield M1 Field Grade (Greek) rifle at Fed-X and I could not be more pleased. Most of the finish on the metal remains, and the wood (all walnut) is in good shape. My thanks to the folks at CMP: you do a great job. Charles.

Good Morning! First of all a BIG THANK YOU for this order! I'm going to buy a lotto ticket with this kind of luck, especially since I got 1 of 16 Rock-Ola's WOW!!! This order really made my day, weekend, month and years to come, I was late on the collecting of M1 Carbines of WW2 (only have one) this will make it happen! Hope they all come with barrels bad or not as wanted the WW2 dated barrels to keep even if there bad. Once again "Thanks So Much!" Regards, David F .

Christine,
Thank you for such a quick reply. It's a pleasure dealing with an organization that takes the time to address even the smallest of issues. It's hard to find that kind of service in today's world. I don't know what I did wrong as I only have one e-mail address but I registered again and everything is
fine. I'm sure it was operator error.
Thanks again,
Regards
Dave
