It does seem to be. I'm very green with all things Garands, so I had to go look what that meant. For others like me: "marked PB indicating manufacture by Fabbrica d'Armi Pietro Beretta S.p.A."

Mine took over two weeks from receipt to DBU.
I think I dropped it in the mail right before Thanksgiving. The email titled "CMP ORDER RECEIVED 11-28-16...ORDER BACK ORDERED" came in on 12/14. The holiday no doubt delayed the receipt. I'm sure since it was my first CMP order(having to confirm my...

This will answer some questions some people have about the viability of test frames as functional frames. The 22lr host frame was actually running on one. After seeing the one with the trigger cut off earlier in the thread, that's what I was expecting to work with. As it turns out, it was even...
I finally got a range day this past weekend. Only had one mag related malfunction where the last round jumped out on a mag with a flat follower. I took 3 types of ammo and 3 types of mags.
Ammo: winchester white box, Wolf, Federal aluminum.
Mags: Sarco, MecGar, Generic with hybrid spring...
