CMP Order Dates for the Garand Select

[milo z]

Want to jump on one of the Select Garands for my birthday - the CMP page says that they're accepting orders starting on 9/17.

Does that mean that I need to get my order in the mail on 9/15 to make it in on day one (hopefully), or if I drop it in the mail a couple of days earlier (so it arrived 9/15ish) will I still be OK?

If they receive your order before the first sale date, they will send your order back to you unprocessed.

Ah, thank you. Guess I'll be extra paranoid and send it next-day on the 15th (Sat, 17th a Monday).

Yes, and make sure you post about it on as many internet forums as possible - this will help ensure that you get one of the limited number of garands they'll be offering.

Ah, so helpful. Wake up on the wrong side of the Internet this morning?

I don't believe the order dates on Select grade offerings were state secrets or anything.

Select grade, or special grade? I didn't know there were to be any more select grade rifles.

Special grade. They have new barrels and stocks with a CMP cartouche.

Ah so. Thanks. I got all excited there for a minute...

They were calling the new "Special grade" "select grade" but CMP changed the name 2-3 weeks ago to avoid the confusion.
