.308 CMP Special.

CMP Special in .308 has been a real joy to use. I was hesitant to begin with , but just had to have one.

Thanks Dan,
I have had it for a few years. The topic came up on another forum so I had to drag her out for a photo op.

Interesting they used the spacer. I have two 7.62 ones, both work fine without it. I guess it's good to prevent someone from trying to load an enbloc of '06, although someone could still attempt to load a single round of '06.

Nice looking rifle; as as a Navy doc guest marine I like your trailer hitch plug. Pulled up behind a black F-150 with EGA and "USMC and a year on it" license plate. Horrible traffic jam. I lowered my windows and went to track 8 full volume on my FMJ cd and watched him going crazy looking for where the USMC Hymn was coming from... Did not take long...we exchanged waves - fun!

I bought a Special in 06 after being encouraged to do so by forum members here. Was very good advise and I’ve enjoyed it. Probably should have gotten a 308 to. Nice looking eye candy.

I stuck the spacer in myself along with a ribbon on the forward sling swivel. I shoot M1s often and just thought it might save grabbing the wrong ammo bandoleers off the rack.

There is a guy on the CMP Forum who sells ( or sold, anyway) sight covers engraved “308”. Also sold USMC engraved ones.

Or you could get a NOS one from Orlando and take it to your local trophy shop and have it engraved as you like. I did that with several for .308 and 7.62 mm Garands.

I am sitting on one CMP grade B receiver. I have 4 NOS USGI barrels .30-06, short-chambered and ready for mounting. But I gotta say occasionally a little bird cheeps that maybe I should get a .308 barrel for it. I have enough that shoot .30-06.

I am in the same boat. I have 4 of the SA nos barrels from the release a few years ago left and 1 .308 Criterion in the stash. Can't really decide which I am going to use for my next build. Decisions, Decisions.
The .308 special I have shoots so well I may just do another for ha ha's.
