Jeez! This is as bad as starting a stamp collection!
It depends on the cost of the stamps...

20 years ago, an old guy at the club cussed out my carbine. It's not often you have people you don't really know greet you with a stream of profanity directed at your rifle.
He was on some hell hole in the Pacific and shot a Japanese soldier (my words not his) 7 times and the guy kept coming. He yelled to his buddies to "Throw me a Garand, throw me a Garand" They did. He stopped the enemy soldier who had 2 grenades with his name on them.
Mine is still a blast to shoot. It's a shame they didn't realize at the time a .357 ACP would have been the perfect match.
Receiving your first "Don't Bug Us" email is like losing your CMP virginity. You never forget the first time.
You are such a tease.....
Let's see how it goes...for the newbies
Next week the orders come in.
By Wednesday they are posted sold out.
Dbu's start going out end of the week. A dbu does not mean you will get a carbine.
If you get a dbu you must check the estore twice a day to see if your order has posted
One more week until orders start to hit the estore.
Dbus continue to go out. They still do not mean you are getting a carbine.
People are getting charged. Carbines are shipping.
Dbu's still going out. More people getting charged and carbines shipping
People are getting offers to switch from a service grade to rack grade.
You are checking the estore 3 times daily
No more dbu's
You are checking the e store 4 times a day
CMP announces all carbines shipped. Net time? 2 months....

If the net time is only 2 months, I will be happy. My Garand was like 3 or 4 months. The only indicator I received was that my credit card was charged.
You forgot the:
Seeing your order on e-store with serial number listed.
Shipped notice.
Waiting for the Fed Ex truck.
Opening the box and seeing what you got.
First trip to the range!
Holy chit that's the coolest pic I've seen here
You forgot
Having the shipment held at FedEx so you can pick it up.
Discretely opening the box in the parking lot to see what you got.
That shock of anti-climax: "Oh no! It's a dog!"
Smuggling it in the back door while wife is showering.
Steeling yourself for a good look.
"It's not that bad. Not that bad. I can junk that I-cut high-wood/two rivet stovewood and Tapco it out..."

.If I'm selecting a first and second choice (in case the first choice sells out), do I need to complete two separate page 3A's or can I just combine them and let them pick whichever item they fulfill?
.
That's a good question. My take would be yes fill out separate forms and provide clear instructions that your first choice is a service grade, but if you can't have that, you'd take a field grade if one is available.
As long as you're paying with a CC, payment won't be an issue with the different prices and you have a separate form to authorize either price. You can only buy one, so I don't see how you'd get charged twice?

Thanks for the advice. The Mrs. and I are filling them out now. From this thread, it looks like she and I are late to the party...
You will probably want to consider Priority Mail or a delivery service to get the order there ASAP. The tracking thread on the CMP Forum already has over a hundred orders listed most of which will arrive on Monday. I am certain there are a lot more orders in the works that never bother posting to the tracking thread.

I'm heading to FedEx this afternoon to send this in for delivery tomorrow.
