    I was looking into getting my first M1 Garand through CMP. When I realized the north store is only about 6 hours away from me I decided I’m going to make the drive up in the next few weeks instead of waiting for months through the mail. Any tips for making a selection in store? I’m looking for a service grade, preferably a Winchester, that will be a shooter. Best day or time to go? Call ahead to see what’s in store?

    I went in in October. Not much of a selection.
    I either could get some nice special grade rifles that gauged well. Or some service grade for a little less that gauged poorly.

    You may want to call and see what is available before making the drive. It seams the South Store has more options.

    The other important issue is if you go through the mail there is not sales tax. If you purchase in person they charge Ohio tax. One a $1000+ rifle that adds up.

    Look at the store reports on CMP Forums. The North Store is usually pretty sparse unless you catch them on a restock. They sometimes do a big restock during the National Matches, but then there are also a lot of other buyers

    Well that settles that haha. Guess I’ll start getting my packet ready. I would still like to make the trip up when it reopens to hopefully find a Winchester.
