Well, CMP received my order for two Field Grade Springfield Armory M1 Garands on the 24th of Feb., and today I received them. Not bad!
Packing was excellent, and I'm happy with what I got.
My father is getting the one made in March of 1941, and I'm getting the June of '42. The March '41 has a Springfield 1942 barrel, Springfield bolt, Springfield op rod, Springfield milled trigger group...damn near all Springfield. The barrel is in great shape!! NO pitting or undue wear.
I stripped and cleaned the '41 up, but haven't gotten a chance to clean the '42 yet. The '42 has a Springfield replacement barrel from '51, I haven't cleaned it yet, a H&R bolt and op rod, and Springfield stamped trigger guard.
I'm pretty damn happy! :D
The stocks on the '41 are a little rougher than the '42, and has a little graffiti on it, but it's serviceable. I'll look for a stock tomorrow at the gunshow.
Anyway, here are the pics, taken before cleaning:
