Hello,
It's finally here. My CMP Service Grade Saginaw and I couldn't be more pleased. For those of you who are still waiting, here is the timeline from order to delivery.
Fri - 1/29 - Mailed packet UPS for Monday delivery
Mon - 2/1 - 10:30 am - received and signed for on loading deck
Mon - 3/14 - email verification of order receipt
Thurs - 3/19 - email verification of order processing
Fri - 3/18 - email verification of shipment
Mon - 3/21 - Rifle received
Saginaw receiver, Serial #34407XX (which should be late 1943), Saginaw barrel (no date but with a 1+ for both muzzle and throat) , no visible marking or cartouches on stock but is potbelly, Type II handguard is marked JL-B which should be IBM.
Haven't had the chance to shoot it yet but will soon.
This joins an M1 Garand which I got from CMP in 2004. It is a 1944 Springfield, also in excellent condition, and a great shooter. So far it looks like I'm batting 1000% from CMP.
Good luck to all who are still waiting for their Carbine.
Tom
