I wouldn't mind making a trip back to Alabama again, mostly to go see the USS Alabama again, but going there to pick my rifle from the store is pretty much out of the question. Gas and hotel expenses would be more than simply buying a new stock from them to replace an old beat up one.

Currently I'm awaiting my Garand Collector's Association membership packet and I still need to get my order form notarized. I'm just going to attach a sticky and ask for a rifle with a new stock and good wear ratings, then put my faith in the good folks at the CMP. From what I've heard they seldom disappoint.

Thanks to everyone for your helpful responses.
