I sent an order last week for service grade M1 Garand. I recieved a confermation letter last week. I want to upgrade from a service grade to a select grade. Has anyone here changed there orders after sending the orders in? Should I keep the Service Grade and just send it to an M1 armor for the up grades? Please Help!

Aren't rifles shipped from Anniston? Give them a call, I'm sure they would be happy to have more of your money.

Should you change to a "select" grade M1? I would rather have a service
grade M1. You get luck of the draw; but some have original parts.
The select grade seems to be a rebuilt GI receiver with a commercial
barrel and new made stock. That will go over like a lead balloon with
most collectors.
Part of the attraction in collecting these M1 rifles is wondering where it
has been; and what stories it could tell.

It might take a few calls to actually get a person, but once you do make sure to get their extension in case you need to call them back. The CMP people are some of the nicest and helpful people I have dealt with, I am sure they will accommodate you if it is possible. That said, for $300 you could almost buy the service grade then add the CMP stock and new barrel at a later date. Or be half way to another service grade. Or buy a boat load of ammo.

The Select grade is for folks wanting a new looking refinished rifle to shoot a lot, rather than for any collector value. Definitely be interested in seeing pics if anyone buys a Select grade.
