CMP gunsmithing: worth it?
Hey all-

I have a nice service grade M1 Garand that I would like to have a little work done on back at the CMP gunsmithing shop. I was planning on going with their complete inspection, cleaning and gauging service plus a trigger job. All that, plus a sight in with test target adds up to almost the same as the National Match upgrade package.

So, I'm going with the NM package.

Has anyone here done it, through CMP?
How does the rifle shoot?
Are you happy with the results?

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken

I can only imagine that they're among the top places to send an M1. I would have no reservations about sending a rifle to them for service.

I had them rebarrel and headspace a sporterized M1903A4 I found in a Facebook sale ad (of all places) about 2 years ago. I also had them re-parkerize the barrelled action and matte blue other parts. They were very reasonable in cost and the work was top-notch. Just be prepared to wait 4-6 months for your rifle to get done.

Thanks for the feedback. They're quoting 6-8 weeks turn around.
I waited 6 months to get permission to send it in, though.
