Once a member you should check out the e-store for ammo. If it's there, it's in stock. Price is delivered, no extra shipping or sales tax. The cheapest stuff is gone, but what is available is still not too bad.
28 December 2020 - I mailed my purchase package for a a Special-Rack Grade. Sent 2-Day Priority/Certified Mail.
11 January 2021 - Purchase Package received in Anniston, AL at 2:08pm. Thanks USPS!!!
17 January 2021 - Noticed CMP website now listed Special-Racks as "SOLD OUT. THIS DOES NOT INCLUDE ORDERS ALREADY RECEIVED"
17 January 2021 - Emailed CMP asking if my order made it in before the cut off.
18 January 2021 - Awaiting response from CMP before I decide what I'm going to do next. I don't want to place another order and end up with two. If I missed out on this, I may just suck it up, pay the money and buy a really nice one off CMP's auction.
That's nice. That's exactly the grade I requested when I sent in my package. It was listed as "in stock" then. Now it's listed as "out of stock" and I'll bet my package hasn't arrived yet.
I'm starting to regret getting involved in this. COVID and politics has made a giant mess of everything.
This past Friday I emailed CMP and ask if my order got in before they ran out.
Just got a response - doesn't really answer my question though:
So I am finishing my paperwork att. Looking at getting a service grade piece. For those that have received a service grade one how have you liked it. Watching some YouTubes of people who have received them look real nice.
@Trepang- email cmpforums@thecmp.org and tell them that you never received your activation email. I received a response and "Amy" activated my account.
A "Melissa" responded to a separate email inquiry and said she'd look for my order package.
I just dropped of my packet at to post office and sent it Priority mail express. Suppose to arrive by 1500 on Monday. Going for a service grade. Good Luck to all who have submitted there paperwork.
They're just now fulfilling orders from mid-October? Oye... Ok.
I only care about one thing: Did they receive my package? That's all that matters. I'm not in a hurry, I'll wait. I just don't want my waiting to be for naught.
Edit: Well, I sent a polite email inquiring if my order package had arrived. I explained that I am aware of the backlog and delays and that I appreciate their effort and hard work.
The CMP got my packet October 1st, 2020. Didn't get the DBU email until December 1st. And finally got the rifle a few days before Christmas. I too was worried about confirming they actually got it and hesitant to send all of the personal information so I ended up sending it Fedex overnight.
Worth the wait though. I got a early 1944 SA with good bbl numbers and new CMP wood. The wait also gave me some time to stock up on ammo for it as it was my first M1 Garand. Also the case it comes in is very nice.
Just got an email about my order (placed the weekend of the 16th or 23rd, can’t remember off the top of my head) and they said they are currently entering orders into their system placed on October 26.
