A couple of Garand questions

[Quoheleth]

I can look on the CMP website, too, but I want to verify:

-Does CMP bill your CC or deposit your check upon their receipt of the order, or when the order is ready to be shipped?

-Considering the unknown quantity of guns & ammo, should I send two separate USPS Money orders, one for ammo and one for a gun? That way if they run out of the ammo, they can return the money order but still ship the gun without having to go through an administrative money paper trail?

Thanks again...
Q

PS. I'm almost ready to think Someone doesn't want me to get a Garand. I finally got the green light from the Boss, but then we found out yesterday that the payroll department at her school screwed up. She was out of days and had to take 4 extra days off when our daughter was hospitalized for a week. The district's rule is if you use more than your allotted days, your paycheck is deducted the day's pay. The payroll office promised that they would spread the 4 days lost time out over the next 6 checks - about a $150 /check. Instead, the lady hit us for all 4 days on this check - a loss of $800. Operation Garand has again been sabatoged. :banghead::banghead:

I just brought home a carbine and M1 from the south store and it was worth the trip.

Nice Inland rack grade that went for 419.00 and a nice field grade M1 for 495.00.

Right now, there are no service grade M1's in the store. All field grades to choose from. The one we got gauged 1.5 on the muzzle and throat so it is definitely worth the trip.

The rack grade carbine had to be a mistake. No way this thing should have been a rack grade. Also had a 1.5 muzzle and looked fantastic. They probably graded it rack cause someone painted the metal black. I got some of the black paint off and it looks like there is a real nice park underneath.

The CMP M1 "specials" for 995.00 will take your breath away. New barrels, new stock, leather sling, fresh park jobs. Absolutely stunning. Wish I could have brought a few of them home with me.
