Melkiper: Well done!
A friend who retired years ago with the Navy Marksmanship Team mentioned something that I had read about H&R barrels (he won over a dozen M-1s as prizes in matches): the best barrels ever installed in Garands reportedly were manufactured by H&R in Birmingham, AL.
Saturday I paid my first visit to the Anniston store and bought an M-1 Special, but only because there were no (0) Service Grades on the rack to select in person, and it might be Quite A While before they appear again on a rack in Anniston or Camp Perry. Anniston staff told me that "We are 5,000 M-1s behind because of ammo orders".
If we consider:
1) The on-going demand from last spring,
2) The newest, anti-2nd Amendment ATF "Kommissar" (Director),
3) The serious possibility that we could have Queen Hillary in the White House, after 2016 (most of the media and $$ from the vast Clinton Machine are behind her, the GOP is fragmented...),
4) The misunderstandings centered around Obama's recent Executive Order (despite the CMP being exempt),
5) The fact that there will be another gun panic in the future,
6) There might be no more than very modest numbers of decent Garands to be returned by foreign govts to our DOD, I suggest that anybody who will ever want an M-1 should order it very soon. The CMP can only receive guns which were Loaned to foreign govts., and returned via the DOD.

Couldn't agree more with anything you said Ignition. I already spent my gun money this year, but I cant be left behind when it comes to the M1.
LOL and yes waiting patiently is going to be a chore. What im trying to do is just forget about it and not even count the days in hopes that one day I lose track and see a package on my front door

At least you guys made the command decision and didn't delay it.
Pardon my long sermon, but what appeared to be speculation and pessimistic assumptions in mid-'08, months before that election, has gradually become true.
The politicians were waiting for a certain type of terrible tragedy to enable their deceptive exploitation, with their subtle, somewhat hidden agenda focused on simple control instead of realistic solutions and protection for children.
My 25 yr.-old son might never be bitten by the gun bug, but now having two Garands seems like better preparation, just in case.

P5 Guy: such a notion with the appealing photo should be "strengstens verboten!". I could claim that you and others of your tribe are a bad influence.
Please cease and desist!
As soon as my wife said ok to my first Garand, as she has been a collector of actual Meissen 'porcelain' objects, she told me "You will want to have another". But I did not believe her at that time, in summer '10. Her uncanny foresight was just weird, unworldly.
