Dad and I purchased our first M1 Garands from CMP for $162 after shooting in the National Matches at Camp Perry in 1991. Great looking and shooting rifles.
Received my fourth expert grade M1 Garand last week. May 1942 Springfield receiver with comparably dated trigger group, bolt and action. New barrel, stock and gas cylinder. It's 81 years old and looks like new. Absolutely beautiful. Thanks CMP.
That's an awesome history and the reason we do what we do. We are glad you love your expert grade! Thank you for being part of the CMP Legacy.
I came to the South Store about a month ago and purchased an expert grade M1 Grand. Awesome store, great experience, the staff was excellent. My rifle is gorgeous and means a lot to me owning one. Thank you guys!
I bought one a long time ago, 5 years I think, and I couldn't be happier with it. I finished the stock and would upload a photo if I could, it's beautiful. I added a gas plug that will allow for higher pressure ammo so I don;t blow myself up along with my rifle. I bought one to honor the memory of a fellow Marine friend of mine who was at the Chosin reservoir! Merry Christmas to all get one!
Where did you buy the gas plug from? I reload my own ammo and I would like to shoot regular 30-06 loads. Thanks.
I just got my first M1 rifle. It's absolutely beautiful. I've taken it out to 275 meters and it's everything I could have prayed for. I intend to get a couple of more and use them for my shooting classes. I know my students are going to love them.
How much was it?
Got my service grade about 5 years ago. GI wood, Springfield Armory, low 5 digit. Paid $750 for it.
I sent in my packet today for an expert grade in .308. I hope to make the cut while they last.
I bought an expert grade in 30/06 about 2 years ago. I sighted it in and the won $100 first prize
At our rifle club with it . And I ain’t that good a shot. A superb piece of equipment.
Thanks CMP for saving these bits of American history.
Just got my .308 today 🙂
@@Jack-x6m5j when did you send the packet in? my .308 expert packet was delivered about a month ago, and im super excited!
@@MilkDrinker01 I think I saw my card charged at about the 5th week then I got an email from Fedex 4 or 5 days later. I think it got her three days after that. Haven't fired it yet but it looks great. Plan to put my own dings on the stock.
@@Jack-x6m5j thats awesome man, im super hyped for mine!
@@Jack-x6m5j btw did you get winchester or springfield?
According to the data, there are only 1.8% of vets still alive who fought in WW2 and held this rifle to facing the enemies. It's amazing that there are still plenty of rifles still available to be picked up and enjoyed by a generation that came after.
It truly is incredible. We all owe a lot to their incredible sacrifices.
My son and I picked up our new M1 expert grade IHC rifle last weekend in Anniston. It was a great experience and everyone working there were very knowledgeable and friendly. The rifle is awesome. We can't wait to shoot it. Thanks to the CMP team for the opportunity to purchase this fine rifle.
Bobby and Jim, thanks for sharing and more videos like this please.
More to come!
I thoroughly enjoy my Special Rack Grade and it's great to see the CMP offering this new configuration. What could be better than an 'almost' brand new M1 Garand? Two 'almost' brand new M1 Garands. It really is the best of both worlds. A piece of historic firearm Americana and a great rifle you can take to the range and shoot as much as you'd like for generations to come.
We are glad you're enjoying your piece of history!
I love my Expert grade!
Love both my m1 garand tanker and m1 garand model D both in the lord's caliber 30.06
Thank you Jim and Bobby for building my Expert Grade M1 Garand. It’s gorgeous and shoots great. I’ve competed in VT a couple times and can say it works and shoots perfectly.
Jim, Thank you for clearing several items up for me! The description you explained on the new barrels finally helped me understand what TE and ME stood for on my blue tag on the Garand I own!! Your explanation of internal parts and the pictures helped a great deal also! I wish all of my instructors could explain things as clearly as you do! I hope CMP continues to make videos like this. I watched this video several times to learn as much as possible!! I believe the more you teach the more you will sell.
Glad to help!
Just sent for one today! Now to wait. Hoping there are still some WRA available. Thanks for all you do at CMP
Awesome! Thank you!
I hd the pleasure of meeting these two gentlemen yesterday. They’re wonderful and extremely knowledgeable people who love what they’re doing.
We are beyond blessed to have Bobby and Jim.
Great work guys. I love my CMP Garand
I’m really glad I got my packet in while there were still some Winchester expert grade rifles available. I love mine, having a M1 made by Winchester is just awesome.
These are truly beautiful!
I love my Expert grade H&R M-1. Looks as good as the day it came out of the H&R factory. Very accurate. I have shot out to 300 yards with it. I would go longer but the range does not permit that. It rests in my safe with my low serial number SA I got in 1992 from the DCM. I will try them both at them CMP Marksmanship Park in two days.
Have fun at the park! We are happy you are enjoying your rifle.
@TheODCMP I will see how SA 258991, a mid 60's rebuild, does in comparison to the H&R. My CMP 1911A1 1945 model Colt will be there too. Maybe the Talladega shop will have a Winchester or an IHC I can add to the collection.
Guys - it was great meeting you guys last week. Thanks for taking the time for my son and I to look over so many rifles.
remember it's all about the recoil springs. brand new springs and keeping light bullets make sure it lasts another 80 years
Box on top shelf beside “Korea 53” says “Every person you come in contact with takes a part of you. What part is up to you!” There seem to be new boxes with different phrases in background on these videos
Submitting my order next payday!
Every Father's Day, I find a new DuPage Garand stock to put on one of my CMP M1s. Absolutely love them.
Glad I got mine when service grades were $350.
I put a couple together when barreled receivers were available as well as nos barrels..
The stores are too far away to visit so I've always had to take my chances.
It was fantastic when the CMP brought a trailer and armors to the Western Games.
Now ? $$$$$$$¢
Just paid for mine today! Looking forward to receiving it soon.
We hope you enjoy it!
Submitted my order last week for one! Super excited and fingers crossed for a SA receiver!
Hope you enjoy it!
I feel foolish, for years I thought you had to be an expert marksmen who competed, law enforcement, or military to buy from you guys....wow....guess I will come down from North Alabama to see the store sometime when I can.
I'm planning on buying two. as long as the barrels are good everything else is interchangeable it's a wonderful thing about something that's made millions of and everyone is interchangeable. mismatched guns are perfect. one to get set up for my truck gun for my job. the other one just stay at home so that the wife can keep an eye on the pasture. wild hogs and black bears have already been killed on my property. it wasn't easy with 556!
Cannot wait to place an order, thanks for the help guys
I can appreciate someone wanting an issue stock. I like your reproduction stock. Makes it look new. I live in NJ and can travel to a store. Even in store purchase has to be sent to a NJ FFL? Makes the online sales a more affordable choice. Are all the CMP M1s from Anniston? Went to my BCT in 1986 at Ft. McClellan right next door.
Thanks guys! I own 2 garand rifles and I love 💘 em both.
Glad you're enjoying them!
Sad to see the Winchester ones sold out my packet just got buried when I was getting ready for wedding in January. Hoping to send in for an International Harvester now
Cannot wait to get one! How long is the turn around once y’all receive the forms and documentation?
As of January 2023 it is around a 2-4 week turnaround. This can vary depending on amount of orders. We hope you enjoy your rifle!
@@CivilianMarksmanshipProgram hopefully in 1 to 3 weeks I will be! Mailed off my form little over a week ago.
So are these the same as the Special Rack grades with the Criterion barrels and Dupage stocks?
The main difference is that the rifle meets all service grade criteria. Showing less wear than a field or rack grade.
I received my expert grade rifle and it is excellent. Question - do you recommend any additional finish on the walnut stock? Thanks for the fantastic workmanship.
Are there any other parts that are new/reproduction besides the barrel and stock? My butt plate, sling swivels and front sight piece look brand new.
All parts attached to the stock are new/reproduction. Thanks!
I have an Expert Grade M1 in .308. One of the best shooting rifles I have. Is there a reason you aren't offering the .308's anymore?
I have one also! There was a shortage of barrels for a while I heard! That may may improve in the future, fingers crossed!!!
Hi, Mark! We do not have enough 308 barrels right now, honestly. As soon as our supplier sends us a shipment, we build what they send and then we take care of backorders. So that's why our customers aren't seeing them :)
Thanks!

I would love to have one in .308 as well. I was in the Navy so that makes it that much more important to me. Not than I'm not pleased with my 30.06 pieces because I am honored to have them to care for.
@@devenwarmack6020 I'm sure the CMP is doing all they can to get the 308's back. I do have to say I love my two CMP rifles (one 30.06 and one 308) and appreciate all you do.
for expert id want all matching parts
What do you guys reccomend I do to finish the wood on this rifle, if anything? Boiled linseed oil?
There really is no concrete answer to this it seems everyone has a different opinion even here. We are gonna make a video soon showing how some of the differences.
@@CivilianMarksmanshipProgram Please do make a video on that! I would really appreciate that.
Tung oil. Linseed gets sticky in high humidity.
@@davidbell1619 I've worked wiht Tung oil before on woodworking projects, yes, it's incredibly durable but it takes a REALLY long time to thoroughly dry.
Will the M1A (M-14s) ever come back?
Does the expert grade still need to fired with lower grain ammunition?
I'm about to buy my first M1, and plan on getting an expert grade. With it being a new barrel, do I still have to be careful what ammo I put through it, or will it take modern ammo?
Do the CMP M1 Garand expert grade rifles still ship with hard plastic case?
Just got one, my only complaint about the rifle was the charging rod was bent more than a little (I straightened it) and the thing was filthy. When you buy a rifle that comes as "Expert Grade" with what's supposed to be a new barrel and stock, you would think the innards and barrel would be clean?
The operation rods are bent by design. Straightening them out can cause them to “short cycle” and not load the next round correctly.
I’ve got 4 m1’s so I’m aware of there being a slight d Ed formation, this was beyond what’s considered tolerance.
@@oscarballard7911I too have 2 M1’s that op rod is bent more than required. Makes op rod jump the track when firing.
What is the cost of an Expert Grade M-1 rifle?
As of June 6th 2023 the Expert Grades with a SA/HRA receiver are priced at $1150 w/o tax.

If you don't have one you are missing out.
In the video you say most will be refinished, but on the website it says they are NOT refinished. Which is correct?
Hi there! The barrel, receiver, and other parts may have been produced by other manufacturers; and may also be of commercial origin with original, re-parkerized, or other commercial finish.
You can check our website for a full description of the Expert Grade.
thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1-garand/
I still think it's shitty that you won't sell to greencard holders / perm residents. I love the M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine, they are great pieces of history and deserve to be preserved. I think every American family should have an M1 Garand.
Been on the fence about getting one of these expert grade models for a while now. I've been hoping that they'll come back out with the CMP special grade because I would prefer that. It seems like the only difference is the special grade has all refinished parts while the expert grade is a mix of different finishes. Is that correct? Is there any chance they will be making special grades again? I see the description is still on the website so I have to assume it might be available again in the future but if the expert grade is the best that we're going to get I'll go ahead and buy that.
Functionality wise they are exactly the same both sporting the new barrel and stock. The internals are the only difference here. There is no update at this time about the return of special grades.
We hope you enjoy whichever you decide to get!
Send the paperwork in, I promise you won't regret it. I was hoping for a HRA receiver but ended up with SA and I'm satisfied. Only minor complaint is it must of been picked up a few times in the store because the receiver repark on the left side is kind of scratched up and some scratches on the stock and a small crack near the butt plate. Still satisfied with what I received.
Are the barrel's in expert grade M1 Garands chrome-lined?
No they are not.

Fucking gorgeous rifle.///
❤❤❤❤❤🇺🇸
Sending my packet out today for an IHC rifle. You guys run a great organization down there, wish I lived closer than the socialist state of New York.
Thank you and we hope you enjoy your rifle! We have a location in Ohio as well, right between Toledo and Cleveland.

PLEASE!, Gentlemen.....let us pronounce the designer's name CORRECTLY. It's pronounced GEH-rend [as in ERRAND] accent on the 1st syllable, NOT GarAND!
