The CMP and COVID

Are you guys finding that the order received date you're getting from CMP matches with tracking for the carrier you used? Or is CMP's received date when they start processing your order, but not necessarily when it was physically received?

Just received a call (21 April 2021 @5pm EST) from CMP requesting updated payment information for an ammo order placed 12 January 2021. The visa I used for the order was compromised shortly after I placed the order.

It was for some Creedmore .308 167 gr Lapua Brass (100 rounds for $125) and .22LR Match ammo (500 rounds for $105).

I asked about my two outstanding Garand orders and she was very polite and nice but she explained she did not know anything about that and she was calling only about my ammo order.

Sigh. I'm about to change my order to a Service grade. Those are shipping steadily at the moment.

My barrel order has been saying processing for like 2+ weeks now and my garand order has been saying open since the 16th as well.

One of my orders is for a service grade. No movement on it either.

All of mine are service

It’s been said before...Charley Maloney will cure anything that ails a Garand.

My buddy got his special rack two days ago. I think he said the total time from mailing in to fulfillment was right around 21 weeks.

Here were his first impressions of his Special Rack:

He bought it to be a shooter which it should do just fine as such.

There's not really anything that ails it other than the fact that it doesn't have paint on the SS gas tube. With the new criterion barrel, it'll be a tack driver all day long. It's been built professionally by the CMP, it's A-OK to shoot as is.

My CC got hit for the service grade this weekend. The Rack Special has not.

Someone who ordered a Special Rack in mid-December got a shipping notice yesterday.
We'll see if the Special Racks start shipping more regularly.

It's possible they had to wait for more Criterion barrels.

Yes, I'm sure the delay is waiting for parts. Barrels, stocks, what have you.

ironcity · Apr 27, 2021

Well mine shipped today. Should be here by 1630 tomorrow. In the 2.7M range. If research is correct that puts it in 1944.

N3uka · Apr 27, 2021

My two due tomorrow by 1030. Looks like a '52 and '55.

Trepang · Apr 28, 2021

I didn't see the shipping email until this morning - My Service grade and .22LR & .308 ammo order should be delivered today.
I had to call in sick so I would be home to sign for it.

For my Luck of the draw SA / HRA Service Grade it looks I am getting a May 1944 Springfield Armory Garand. That is what I asked for on a yellow sticky I sent in with my order - I don't know if that made a difference or I just got lucky.

About the same time I ordered mine, a friend also ordered a luck of the draw SA/HRA. He also asked for a WWII SA on a yellow sticky - he got a six digit serial number SA that is in excellent condition.

No updates on my Rack Special order.

FWIW, The service grade was ordered about 2-3 weeks AFTER the Rack Special. Something must be holding up the Rack Specials.

Pic will follow once it comes in.

Ponder_MD · Apr 28, 2021

If I may ask, what did you pay for the Service Grade? I'm debating calling them and changing my order.
Also, please let us know what your muzzle and throat readings are when the rifle arrives.
