Looks like the CMP has been working on manufacturing brand new M1 Garands and they should be on sale soon. As the article says, it will be commercial reproduction of the rifle using original drawings and specs.

I saw earlier this year they were working on this.  I'll stick with my 1945 Winchester manufactured example.

Like the m-14 reproductions that are out there ( some are very good). You can't beat USGI. Hopefully parts will swap and wear like USGI parts. Some of the reproduction parts just don't last or fit as well. Some of the repro clips hang up too. I still have several new barrels and lots of parts to keep my Garands going for a long time.

The price at 1900$ is less expensive than some the repro Garands I am familiar with. Which is good.
I have own(ed) repro M14 and rebuilt Garands from source other than the CMP and I agree with Hawkeye.

-2Cor10:4-5. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, & bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

-Eph6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world forces of this moral darkness and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

Reading through the announcement, it looks like the intent is for full compatibility
