I’m excited, I’ve wanted an m1 for a long time (20yrs). It’s just one of those things that everyone should haveI am confident you will like it. The typical stock wood is prettier than GI and modern match barrels are superior to anything ever put on a military, or NM rifle. That will raise hackles on some, but I shot enough rounds down range to determine to my satisfaction, it is true.

I’ll second what slamfire said.
My CMP Special shoots as good as my older brothers match prepped, Douglas match barreled M1.
I get under 2” at 100yds with match grade ammo. The Criterion barrels are superlative.
Try 48.0gr of H4895 under a Hornady 155gr A-max. Seat to 3.325”oal. LC-69 brass.
Medaled in my first JCG match at CMP Talladega.

Da hail you say...!
3 MOA - is all I ever ask from a Service rifle from field positions.
A well put together Criterion Bbl'ed M1 should nail that in Spades.

I would take one to shoot the matches or target work, but I like the milsurps that may have been in the fight on some battle field world wide.
Update: got the email from cmp saying my order form was received and got my log in info as well. Charges hit the credit card and the ammo order shows shipped,
More to follow with the rifle order
I had to put a vacation hold on the ammo and rifle, fedex runs in my neighborhood between 0800 and 2200, so it’s hard to plan for, so the rifle is sitting at the local fedex hub till next TuesdaySomeone needs to be there to sign for it, FedEx had mine and I had to chase him down, I was out back when I heard the truck pull out the drive.
