Guns > May go to CMP South Store Wed. Night/Thurs. Morning

UPDATE: Got me dates messed up. This would be the following Weds./Thurs. of April 4th and 5th.

I have the day off next Thursday so I'm thinking about going to the CMP South store in Anniston, Alabama to buy an M1 Garand. It's about a 4 hour drive from Knoxville.

From reading the CMP forum Thursday is a good day to go, since it's less busy (the store is open Thurs-Sat.). The store restocks at night, opens at 8:00 AM, and the best selection is first thing in the morning. So if I go Wednesday night after work and get up first thing I can get there when they open.

The Garands are going fast, so this may be the last chance to get a good one out of this batch. Some field grades still show up at the stores, even though they're no longer available at the online store.

Incidentally, the M1 Carbines will be available at the North and South stores starting May 3, but it's gonna be a madhouse. Here are some cell phone pics of teaser display carbines at the South store.
