A couple of years ago I got the bug to try an M1 Garand and after my first trip to the CMP South store, I was hooked. In the picture I have a Jan 1945 SA, a Dec 53-Feb 54 IHC Gap Letter, and a new M1A1 SOCOM. This past weekend I took the SA and the SOCOM out to the range for some lead therapy and truly enjoyed shooting these rifles. It still amazes me how good that 1945 SA rifle shoots. The SOCOM is fun, but I am still hooked on the Garands.
Now that the CMP has currently run out of affordable rifles in field or service grades, I probably won't find another great deal like these, but I am going to keep looking. I need to get an HRA and WIN to add to the collection.
