Guys at the range lose their minds. I could have gambled and dropped $700 for an unknown, mix and match CMP service grade frankenrifle. But I found this guy on GB last year, and bought it from a collector in SLC Utah. It's been completely gone through and original parts verified by
Roland Beaver - with documentation.
Don't get me wrong, you can score an amazing rifle through CMP and I encourage everyone to look into it. Every man should own a Garand.
