Looks real nice!
Hope you enjoy it, I love mine

Looks like you specified it having a GI stock, also notice the NM Op rod. Nice! I'm thinking of ordering one again. Haven't bought one from the CMP since 2018. Enjoy

Where are you finding ammo to feed the new rifle?

Beautiful! They are wonderful rifles, and you can't best the CMP price.

Handloading can be a great way to find a perfect load for your gun, and save a lot of money on ammo. I use a single stage Lee press, and am well pleased with the results.

Greetings TJ ... last I checked, the CMP estore has some Creedmore in stock. It is a little pricey; but, it shoots well. CMP / Creedmore Thurty Ought Six

Everything is type 2 NM except it does not have a bedded stock. Years ago the ARMY found around 50k (don't remember exact number) NM rifles in storage and circulated them. This is no doubt one of them.

Yes, the time has come to begin reloading. I have always saved my brass thinking one day I would start reloading so as you can imagine I have quite a stash.

I too am about to fall off that reloading fence I've been sitting on for decades!

Not sure about the PS81 but I'm almost sure the KA stuff is corrosive

The KA is considered corrosive, it's the salts in the primers. I flush my barrel with hot water and ammonia, then clean as usual.

I have 6 M1 Garands....I know, right.
Anyhow, my brother-in-law pesters me to sell him one. I’ve explained to him several times if I sell one then I’ve only got 5, I need 6 to have 2 swivel stacks, 5 does me no good at all. Likewise I’ve explained to my wife why I need 6 and if I get one more then I’ll have to get 2 more. People just don’t understand.

Oh, I get it. I had 10. I built 11th at the CMP AMC in August. Now, I need a new rack and 9 more M1s! #garanditus
