To the Sales Staff of the CMP . My Father was a Navy Corpsman assigned to the Third Marines during WW2. Dad was at the invasions of: Saipan, Iwo Jima, Tinian Islands, Guam, and Okinawa. He rarely, if ever, spoke of his experiences and after doing much research on the battles in the Pacific I understand why. On one rare occassion Dad told me about his experience handling and firing a M1 Garand. He said that he felt that it was THE finest rifle he had ever had the opportunity to operate. Dad passed in 2002. Since his passing I have been considering purchasing a M1 Garand in Dad's memory. CMP has made this dream a reality. Not quite a month after ordering my Garand arrived today. It is a beauty. New stock. Smooth operation. And so much history. Although my model was manufactured in the 1950's I can imagine how proud Dad would be if he could be here today to experience handling a M1 Garand again. A sincere Thank You to the staff of the CMP for making a dream come true for me. My Garand will be kept as a tribute to the brave men and women who sacrificed so much during WW2 as my Dad did. I am honored to own a piece of living history of our great Nation. John E.F.

I want to thank everyone at CMP for the work they put into this program. Around the first week of May I sent in for my first Garand. Two weeks later I called just to see if they received all my necessary paper work. The Lady said they had received over 8 bags of forms of orders for the M1 Carbine but as soon as they put my paper work in I would be notified by email. I then saw a friends M1 and decided to order another one. So I sent in another order in the middle of May for another M1 Garand. On June 17^th I received my Springfield Armory M1 correct grade. On June 18^th I received my Harrington & Richardson correct grade.  I have read on here plus the Anniston people told me it is the luck of the draw but still I was sure that paying a little more for a correct grade would be worth it. I was right. These two rifles are excellent.  I have wanted an M1 for a long time and these two are about as good as they get. Thank you again for your services. Ted Z

To The CMP:  The Saginaw S.G. I received a short time ago turned out to look real nice after I cleaned it up.  I soaked the metal in thinner for a couple of days to help remove the grease and lo-and-behold it took off the black Italian finish revealing the original metal finish.  The walnut stock was soaked in boiling water and Oxi Clean which removed the soaked in grease and oil and when dried it looked nice and clean.  A light rub with very fine sandpaper, military stain, and linseed oil took care of the finish which turned out like the metal, looking great!  I put on the couple of SG parts I had on hand and should I put on the original marked flip sight it would look almost like it did when it left the factory many years ago.  I shudder when I think I almost never got it due to the Fed Ex driver delivering it to an area Hospital.  Due to the people involved telling opposite stories I still think they were working a scam and it would have turned up missing but my quick action in running it down stopped them in their tracks.  Many thanks CMP for sending me a very nice Carbine that I will always enjoy!  Robert W.

Just wanted to say thank you for my grandson, he ordered a rack grade Winchester after the 28th thinking the other make sg would be gone. Later he saw they were still listed for sale and e/m and asked his order to be changed to a sg. It arrived this a/m and is in wonderful condition. It was shipped to me as i am home all the time and is way better than the description. This makes the 3rd firearm he has purchased through the CMP, 2- Garands and the Carbine and he has never been dissapointed with either the firearms or the service. Since he is not here now i wanted to say thanks for him. My grandaughter who just reported to her new base in N.C. is trying her best to get a little money ahead so she can start purchasing, she made expert with everything they put in her hands, even the SAW.Jerry
