Hello, I recently ordered and received my third rifle from CMP – a second Inland Carbine – in August. I’ve been teaching a lot of first-time shooters this summer, from kids to nurses at a local hospital. The M1 Carbine is a great gun for them when they want to step up from a .22, so I requested a shooter with a good barrel. The rifle I received had a nice barrel with symmetrical muzzle wear of 2. As a bonus, the entire carbine was in good shape! So, I just wanted to say thanks for sending me a quality firearm and to let you know that because of it, I plan to head to the North Store next week to try to pick up a couple more Inlands so the kids I’m teaching can all shoot at the same time J Thanks again!!

I would like to say WWWWOOOOOOWWWWWW!!!!!!!! I just received my M1 Garand Service Grade rifle last night, and about fell out of my chair. This rifle is a Korean War and Later Production 2 rifle that was pristine to say the least. The rifle had 98% of its original finsh, all parts were correct for this timeframe, and the stock was walnut, all the same color, only had a few minor handling/storage marks and had the original cartouche and P proof mark . I would have to say that this rifle was in more of the correct grade/collector grade condition. This will make a great addition to my recent Inland M1 Carbine I received a few months back. I can not thank the CMP South enough for this beautiful firearm. Being a retired Marine, you just don't know how much I appreciate everything the CMP does!!!! Semper Fi and keep up the good work. See you at the range, OHHHHH RAHHHHH!!!!! Steve L., NC

I would just like to say how excited I was when I opened the shipping box my M1 Garand came in. You see, I am a Marine from the Korean War era and the M1 I received was manufactured just 2 months before my enlistment date, WOW. Can you image how special that is to me and the memories it brought back. And I could not hardly believe my eyes when I seen the condition the rifle was in, another WOW. Thank you CMP, you have put a smile on this old Marines face that will last for quite some time. I have several M1’s but this one is very special, thank you again. Wayne B .

I just received one of the newly available service grade M1 Garands and am extremely pleased with the condition of this five digit serial number rifle. When comparing to my previous purchase of a field grade “Greek” M1 it appears at least twice as nice. Thanks for the great service of the CMP and I hope many others have a chance to own one of the finest rifles ever made. Regards, Rod F .

I just want to thank you for allowing the Camp Perry Mail purchase of my CMP Garand rifle. The Quality was great. My son and I had a blast at the range, my wife and daughter now wants to go shooting. I am going to need to purchase another one, soon. How much trouble did I get myself into ??? I hope I did not get garandinitus LOL... There are CMP forum member that has dozens of Garand, that is simply nuts..Why ? so many ? I need to prepare for the Garand Match, After reading CMP book, I did not realize how challenging it would be, The Hope of placing is gone, but I can see lots of fun in the process... a guaranteed winner in my book.

Hi, Just thought I'd let you know how thrilled I am with the service grade M1 Garand I received from the CMP this week! I had stuck a post-it on my order form asking for a "good shooter" if possible, but what I found in the box was way, way more than I expected. Overall, the rifle appears almost new- only the op rod, bolt, and gas cylinder have any significant wear. The barrel and receiver appear unissued - even the wood looked aged but new, once I rubbed the cosmo and grime off - and it has a clear late-period stock cartouche and proof mark to boot. I was really looking forward to getting my first Garand, but this one is such a beautiful rifle, I can still hardly believe it. Not only that, but it was delivered less than two weeks after you received my order! Thanks again for all the great work the CMP is doing by connecting these historic rifles with owners that will treasure and care for them. Best regards, M. P. B.

Just received my M1 Garand. I wasn't expecting to see it until October. It is really nice and I must say I am very pleased. Much better then I expected for a service grade rifle. I have not fired an M1 since I was in Navy boot camp in 1960. Can't wait to get to the range. Thanks, Gary H. in Georgia

Hello! We ordered a Kimber 22 Target Rifle and are very happy with the
service we received through each stage of your organization, and the rifle
itself. All the e-mails we sent requesting information or status were
responded to quickly. The rifle itself is excellent and shoots tight
groups. Wayne and Ying from Maryland.

Dear CMP, On August 10, 2007 I noted your announcement that several hundred Inland Carbines would be available for sale and some by mail order. I sent in my application by overnight mail and was told by the post office that it could not be received sooner than the 12th. I thought for sure I would be out of luck. Low and behold the FEDEX man left a note that I missed a package delivery on the 17th. He came again yesterday and to my surprise it was a box from CMP. I opened it like a kid at Christmas and found a beautiful M1 Carbine It looked like it just came out of the factory. All the metal is nicely parkerized no scratches or bare metal. The wood is excellent except of an Italian FAT cartouche. I will not do a thing to it except shoot it at next years Nationals. Thanks, for excellent service and this great piece of history. Very respectfully, Stan G.

Hello
Shannon, I
wanted to thank you and everyone at the CMP for a VERY enjoyable experience at
the Garand Match. It was my first trip to Camp Perry and it was great from
beginning to end. Every CMP person that I came into contact with was cordial
and helpful. We were scheduled to fire in the afternoon on the Rodriguez range
but when we got out there we were told that we were to shoot on Viale. They
could have easily told us that we’d better get moving if we were going to
make it but instead the young man got a golf cart and drove us over there.
What service! I commend all of you for running a smooth operation. With the
number of events and shooters it would be easy for it to unravel. I’m sure
that, with a only a few exceptions that everyone had a good time. I’ll
certainly be back next year.
Thanks you also for taking care of my daughter’s cancellation.
I was surprised to have a message on my answering machine last week from the
CMP advising that it had been processed and I should get a refund. Again,
great personal service. Thank you thank you. I
went to the event photos yesterday and saw pictures from the other events but
non for the JCG match. There seems to be a place holder there but no link to
any photos. Will there be any soon? The gentleman that I was squatted with was
in full WWII gear and we were wondering if he made it into the pictures. Thank
you again for a wonderful experience and I’ll definitely be there next year.
Sincerely, Morris

Aloha, I
would like to take this opportunity to let you folk’s know how pleased I am
with both the products you sell, and the fantastic customer service your staff
provides. I have now purchased three M1 Garands, two 1903 Springfields, and one
M1 carbine from the CMP. Your surplus arms are a great value for the price, and
the funds go to a great cause. On only one occasion did I ever encounter a
problem with a rifle I received, and your staff quickly corrected the situation. Please
keep up the great work! Stephen

Thank you for your prompt service. I received the Greek .30-06 ammunition last week and have shot five 8-round clips. I experienced no problems with this ammunition. The 192 round bandoleer cans are great for those that need clips and bandoleers. Elliott R.

I am almost speechless, All I can say is “ Awesome “ Thank you so much
for the opportunity to own a piece of history. An M1 Carbine, I can’t wait to
clean it up and shoot it! John in Cali.

I received my Inland M1 Carbine a week ago today and found that it is in great shape. A couple of days later at the range I tried to dampen my enthusiasm and remember that the rifle was built in 1943. Needless to say I was pleasantly surprised when I started shooting consistantly in the 10 ring at 100 yards. Last but not least I would like to thank the customer service folks at CMP who handled my questions quickly and ensured that my order was processed in a timely manner. Thanks again CMP!Very Respectfully, Erin W.

I received my M1 Inland Carbine today. Your appraisal of these weapons is fair, in fact the one I received is in better condition than I expected. The bore is bright, shiny, and lands are very good. It's great that these WW II babies are finding their way back home. I appreciate the opportunity to have a nice offering without import marks.

Dear CMP, I am in Afghanistan with the Army and I ordered an M-1 Carbine, I know it arrived at my home and next year 2008 I will get a chance to look at it. It was with great pleasure that I read the comments of others that have received their M-1's. Thank you for doing the jobs that you do, it is very much appreciated. Sincerely, Donald E. F .54

I want to thank CMP for having some M1 Garands for sale at the Nationals At Camp Perry. I stopped in and picked up a nice Service Grade Garand. I checked the muzzle and it checked out less than 1 in wear. The throat erosion gauge showed a hair over 3. I know this will shoot well. Stock needs some minor cleaning but otherwise, thank you for an excellent piece of history. Very respectfully, Stan G.
