I had just looked at it a few minutes before CMP forum said it was sold out. I went back and looked again, both were marked "sold out" and then I posted here around 1:30pm.

Looks like I didn't make it, my USPS tracking is still "in transit". Hopefully that just means it hasn't updated, but I may have learned a $685 lesson in why not to ever trust the Post Office when something really needs fast delivery.
Well, that does means I'll have the money to spend on other things on my "I want it" list, so there's a bright side!

Well dont lose hope yet.
Last time when they did this with the IHC LMR barreled guns, I sent mine USPS overnight on a Saturday and it didnt make it until tuesday afternoon. I didnt get a service grade, but was was offered a field grade that ended up being a really nice gun.
I'm willing to bet at least 10% of those that mailed in orders don't meet all of the eligibility requirements.

This. I called, verified what I needed and then sent in the forms. Did not realize it, but they had my club as expiring 31 December 2015 when it is really 1 March 2016. Fixed that issue on the phone. That, and I my notary was out of date by a few weeks.

For those not on the fbooks. This was just posted
Who has access to a USPS Tub? How about an estimate on how many orders fit in a tub and we can extrapolate total number of orders on the first day.
Dang! At 500 orders per tub - That's 11,000 rifles!
I hope the CMP continues their practice of going in Alphabetical order when filling orders.
Folks like "cantstop", "dreadpirate" and "arcamm" are shoe-ins.
"yellowsled" and "why2kmax" are not so good.
I kid! I kid!

I'm praying my order is in one of those boxes

YES! This is how it should be done. I'm going over to my Congressman's office to insist!
He's right across the street!
....On second thought.......
I have a really good feeling about this. When I visited the CMP store 2 years ago, I was really impressed at how nice the guys working there were. I genuinely felt that they would do whatever they capable of to put out the best guns they could. When the guy told me they had "lots of carbines to build", but were backlogged on M1 Garand orders, I really felt his frustration.
Those guys have been piecing together these great rifles for us. They are craftsmen. We might have to wait a month or 2 or 3, but I really feel like anyone who's order was postmarked by today will get a carbine.

As consolation, I just ordered 5 .45 mags and 2 M1 Garand slings from the CMP store. The mags are only $8!
I'm willing to bet at least 10% of those that mailed in orders don't meet all of the eligibility requirements.
If you don't they'll tell you and let you meet them (by joining a club etc).
Agreed, but as I understand it, they work the completed/proper orders first.

If mine went through, fine. If not...maybe it's time for another Garand.
I thought he was scared of Lou! and never went to that office!
Yeah, between Lou being visible from his office window and me sitting on my porch cleaning my AR, everyday, we don't see much of him. I don't even think his cute little interns show up anymore.
