My order status was updated!  I ordered the Garand in APR and am now hopeful it will arrive by mid August!   Price is worth the wait...

Ron,

I got my 7.62/308 garand about the time you ordered yours. Haven't been able to shoot it much because I'm having a load and feed issue with the en blocs.

I plan on going this next Monday to see if my fixes "fixed" it.

I had a 30.06 version in 2007 but had to sell it. As soon as I was able to scrape together the cash I ordered the .308.

Why 308? because I has a friend that gave me 1100 rnds of 7.62 he had left after he sold his M14.

You will enjoy it I guarantee,

Jim

Nice......and M1A has been on my short list for a long time now, and I'm hoping I can scratch it off pretty soon.  Good luck with it.

PS- that's known as the DBU letter... don't bother us.  I received it a month after I sent my order in.  This week's letter states the Garand should ship in the next 30 days.  My timeline:

Sent order in and they received it 25 APR.  I received my DBU Letter May 20th.  The order went in on 13 JUL and now I'm 2 weeks or less (with any luck) from unwrapping it.  I guess I better collect some '06 brass...

It's on it's way!  Received a FEDEX shipping notification tonight- Due to the house on Tuesday- glad I have a C&R- saved me $20 transfer fee.

So, the timeline was- Order sent 22 APR, Received 25 APR, Processed 13 JUL, shipped 29 AUG.  A long wait by my standards but well worth the price I paid and it will be a shooter.  Of course it wasn't as long as the search for the 745...

Done.  Happy to see I have old wood (no comments needed, Bruce). Well worth the wait for the price.  Serial number makes it post WWII, the barrel is dated 1954 with a throat reading of 2 and muzzle reading of 1+.  Should be a shooter!
