You need to call every week before Wednesday. CMP themselves can tell you. There were no service grades when I was there a few weeks ago, but there were special service grades available. They are beautiful.
The best deal CMP has in my opinion. I bought one and I need another M1 like I need a hole in my head.
PM me with your real name (or put it in this thread) and I will check on your LSA card. Thank you for joining.

That's why I bought one. It was a copy cat purchase of yours, right down to the blue CMP rife bag. I couldn't help myself.

FWIW, I used my hunters education as the live fire part of the CMP requirements. I printed out a copy of the course description and highlighted the live fire part and included it with a copy of my hunters ed card.

Blue CMP rifle case. It is another deal. At least at Camp Perry, they were $24.95 and they are top quality. They are a stripped down version of Creedmoor's $69 gun case. I bought 2 and wish I had bought at least 1 more.
I have never heard of the Special Service Grades being sold anywhere except at the North and South stores. Do not confuse the Special Service Grade with the Special Grade. They are very different in value in my estimation.
I was bent on going to the store in person, but tomorrow is the perfect time to call. I've not see them listed on either CMP mail order list, though. Dan may know more.
I'd go to the store all over again tomorrow. Here's why:
$795 and I have shot mine already. The metal on mine is literally new with original finish. The only thing that keeps it from being collectible is the fact that it has newly manufactured wood and stock metal. Unless you have some original wood, it is a shooter. Besides, if you take care of it, you can put lots of rounds through it without wearing it out.

Tulse, that is a fine looking rifle. I cannot wait to see it in person. Garand match last Saturday in October - be there.

I'll get a very stern lecture from Dan if I say yes, so I'll just say I bought a field grade H&R to go along with it.
$795. The ghost of John Garand possessed me and my wallet that day.

I got mine a few months ago. it is a SA Service Grade. It is not as pretty but it all original. LSP972, dantheman and I went out shooting our M1s at Sherburne one weekend.
Are you sure it is all original? It isn't likely that CMP let a collector grade out of the door as a service grade. (most of these guns have been through an arsenal a time or two) I did pick up a service grade HRA that was only lacking a bolt and trigger group from being all correct. Once upon a time you could buy these things from CMP so I called them and asked some nice lady for the proper HRA parts as replacements. It is now all correct (not original) and one of my best shooters.
Dan
I'll bring both. I'd like you to look them over.
To anyone considering going to CMP: If you can, arrive early on a Wednesday morning. First, it's the day all the new stock is put out. Second, there were at least 3 local gurus there who knew their ****. The line at CMP forms about one hour before it opens. I chatted with all these guys, told them what I was there for, and was offered all the help I could ask for. I took them up on it. The special service grade was a no brainier. Not one measure over 1.0 at the muzzle. The problem was, I was also talked into getting field grade by the local crew. I went through them all with a muzzle gauge (the most I could do) and found a few good ones.... or at least what I thought were good examples. One had a crack in the stock behind the receiver, so it was quickly rejected when I showed it to one of the locals. A few others got the boot, too.
I did end up finding a HRA that pasted the locals inspection, and now I really don't know which I like more.
