I have just received the CMP catalog and yesterday got my membership letter from the Garand Collectors ASssoc. I gues that I am ready to start the ordering process for my Garand.
This is my first Garand and I have some questions. First of all, there are two manufacturers listed H&R and Sprinfield. The price difference is $25. Which one to choose? Second, about how long does this take? I am going to the bank next week to get my DD214 and license notarized. Also CMP lists Federal 150 gr ammo for 197 for 500 rounds, is this a good deal or should I buy some surplus ammo on Gunbroker or Ebay?
I definately will get a Garand book, what will I need in regards to cleaning and maintenance?
One other thing. When I got my membership letter from Garand Collectors they also sent me a sheet for the technical measurements on my Garand. Do I send this sheet to CMP when I place my order? I dont understand what this sheet is for.
Thanks!
