All,
I hope everyone is doing well and I just wanted to spread the word on the CMP. I have been interested in the M1 family and purchased a few. I originally asked someone on this forum about where to buy an M1 Garand and they recommended CMP.
THANK YOU!!!!!!! If anyone is interested in purchasing an M1 Garand/Carbine or anything related to them and more, GO TO THE CMP South store.
I live in MS and finally had a weekend that I could make the trip. I left work Friday at 5:00 p.m. and made the drive. I decided to stay in Birmingham to break the trip up. The next day I drove the other hour and arrived at CMP. From the start, the staff was very helpful. To make a long story short, I arrived at 11:00 am and left at closing time 3:00 p.m. Saturday. I spoke to many different people who worked there and others who were like I and visiting. They walked me through everything I could ask and showed me things I didn't know. I left MS with the intention of buying a correct grade M1 Garand and left with a great service grade with everything matching except the tripper housing, easy fix, an M1 Carbine, more ammo than I can shake a stick at, and an awesome experience.
Everyone there was great and I know I will be back. If you are even thinking about getting a Garand/Carbine DO NOT go anywhere else. They will give you great advice and you will leave with a great piece of history and have a great experience.
I would not have written this if I didn't have a wonderful time there. I would have driven 10 hours!!!
Early I said, "to make a long story short", SORRY. I tried.
Thank you CMP for a great experience and I'll see you soon.
