Yes but Orest may have touched them

Omg, some one going to build a fence of shotout barrels? like St. Louis Missouri, grants farm?

simple, really. two things are happening here:

1) the buyer is local, so he will save what could be over $1000 in freight costs (UPS freight estimated $1700 to chip that box to my home with liftgate service)

2) being local, the buyer has inside info from CMP. Someone has either a) told him that they aren't that bad or b) someone has intentionally slipped some good barrels into that crate for a specific local buyer.

yes, which is why former employees coincidentally happen to have the largest collections of garands and parts in the country. but, I'm sure, that's just a coincidence

I've never been a CMP forum guy. The only dealings I've had is the one Garand I bought and a few parts purchases for my Mini G build. Is that really how they operate over there. That seems pretty dang shady.

Oh...Who is Orest?

Ok, as an also-CMP forum member I must admit a lot of curiosity on this one. I've actually gotten some good deals over there. What gives?

It's the same guys who are constantly whining about the CMP over nothing. That's what gives.
