I visited the CMP South Store in Anniston Al on May 22, 2008 on my way to T allahassee Florida from Upstate NY.  It was quite a drive.  I purchased 3 M-1 Garands and some Ammunition.  I can’t wait until I get the chance to see how they shoot and to participate in my club’s upcoming matches.  But the icing on the cake was the staff at CMP South.  I wish it to be known that the staff was just marvelous—helpful, professional, pleasant, engaged in their work and service to me.  T his is true from the intro desk to the accounting staff, the turnover window and the loading dock folks.  T hank you so much for offering this service and employing such great staff!!!!  Regards,  Arnie T.

Hello, I just received my first order from the OD-CMP and wanted to drop you a note letting you know what a great job your folks did. I ordered 4 rack grade M-1's, and got them yesterday. I haven't done a complete disassembly yet, but from my initial observations the rifles are in fine condition and I'm extremely excited to have my own personal pieces of US and world history. Thanks for the great job you're doing and I look forward to many future transactions! Jefferson D. C.

I received my service grade NPM carbine earlier this week, and I was quite surprised. I have purchased '03' Springfields, and Garands in the past, all about what was expected, but this carbine has the original barrel, and from what I can tell...the original bolt. The stock is a replacement, but an excellent walnut. Very little cosmoline made the cleaning a pleasure. The supurb condition of this rifle is far better than anything I could ever have hoped for. So once again, I thank all at CMP for your continued attention to detail, and your fast, friendly, and curteous service. There is no doubt that we will do this again. THANKS...JD

I received my M1 Garand today, only 18 days after mailing my order to CMP. Amazing. I wasn't expecting it for at least a month. Also what is amazing is the condition of the rifle. I couldn't believe how great it is. The metal is near perfect and the stock has very few minor marks on it and the color is even. There is very little evidence of wear considering the age of the rifle. I immediately cleaned it and went to an indoor range to see how it fired. I did a rough military zero for 100 yds at 25 yds and after 2 windage and elevation adjustments I was getting 1 inch groups. Can't wait to get to a longer range where I can really try it out. I know it'll be right on the mark. I'll be placing another order soon. Thank you for the great service and quality of my M1. Charles F., Raleigh, NC

I received my rifle yesterday and to say I was happy with it is an understatement, when I opened the box and got a whiff of the smell of gun oil and linseed it carried me back fifty some years when I first fired the M1 at camp elliot outside San Diego, (and also eventually fired expert) I have always wanted one and although I have no illusions of being able to shoot as well as I did at nineteen, the passing years have compensated by my appreciating it a lot more now.

I recently purchased an M1 Garand. I took it out and shot it and the stock cracked. CMP sent a claim tag for the stock. I sent the stock in and CMP sent me another stock. I haven't tested it yet, but it looks beautiful. Thank you CMP. I have posted my great experience with CMP on several forums to spread the word of the great service at CMP.  Thanks again, Doug H .

Dear Mr. Michaels,  Taking your advice, rather than wait for HRA Correct Grades to show up at the North Store, I ordered an HRA Correct Grade through the US Mail.  You received the order on Friday, April 18th and I received it today, Tuesday May 6th.  It is better than what I expected after seeing several SA Correct Grades at the North Store.  A great big THANK YOU to you and your staff.  John G.

As a U.S. Army Vietnam veteran, whose parents both served in World War 2, I was very pleased to receive my service grade Springfield M1 Garand on Feb. 28, 2008. To have the opportunity to own this fine battle rifle, previously owned by my country's government, was the best possible commentary on the 2nd Amendment. The service I received from everyone at the CMP was 1st class all the way. All of my questions throughout the ordering process were answered in a friendly and knowledgeable manner. 57 days after my order was placed to the Anniston store, my rifle arrived. I could not suppress a smile when I opened the box. The rifle I received was in absolutely beautiful condition! The serial number indicated a World War 2 vintage, which made the rifle all the more meaningful. I gave the rifle a thorough cleaning and inspection and took her to the range. The old war horse, despite my aging eyes, consistently produced groups averaging around 2 inches at 100 yards, with a few even smaller ones at the end of the day. I could not be happier with my rifle and will long treasure it. My sincere thanks to everyone at the CMP for a great job in making this possible!  Bill B.  Green Bay, WI

Sir,  I am a novice and I  think your staff did a great job on the Eastern Games yesterday.  They help me get oriented and were generous to a fault.  I appreciate that.  I only stayed  for the day as I got broken ribs and one match was about all I could handle but next year I intend to say the entire week.  My correct grade SA just received is great.  On par with what you had on that table.  Worth the price paid and it will serve me well in competitions.   I will  order a H&R correct  soon for a back  up rifle.  The replacement barrels you  sell must be outstanding.  One guy there had one he wrenched himself on his old Svc. Grade and it was very accurate.  So much so that I am ordering one for a spare.  I thank you for your service to our shooting community and for running a top notch staff who most  professionally run your programs.  Respects/  B
