Just lucked into a cmp service grade garand from a shop in az while on vacation, I was intending to order one thru cmp but since this one was available in front of me for only 40 bucks more I figured why wait. It's an pre war Springfield I believe 250xxx is the serial number. Now I'm just wondering what parts I should stockpile as well as any tips on shooting it for the first time. I'm wondering what grease I could get that's available locally since I want to shoot it tmrw out in the dessert before heading back home I just can't wait.
