We are in the process of inspecting them and making them ready for sale, but do not expect to have them ready for at least another 60 days. Once they are ready, we will announce them via sales update email and list them on the estore.

GARAND PRICE INCREASES COMING: The price of CMP M1 Garands will increase slightly in the near future, to keep up with our rising costs. As prices are changed, they will be posted on the website. Any orders already in-house when prices change will be charged the price listed at time order was mailed.
