Can someone please explain to me the process for getting a rifle from the Civilian Marksmanship Program. What exactly does someone have to do to get a rifle from them?Thanks.

I went last year and it was super easy. Bought a $20 membership to a club on their list, and when I went in I brought a copy of the club membership, my CCL, a passport and a DL and I was good to go. I just brought it all to avoid any hassle.
They'll even ship it back to your house for like $20 or $25 so you don't have to pay AL sales tax.

The M1's at Camp Perry are far nicer than I ever expected. Go for it. I passed on one, as it would just cut into my AR10 build budget. But if your after an M1, definately check this out.
(I'm not a M1 collector or anything, I like to shoot 'em, but as long as you have realistic expectations, they have really nice rifles under $800. You can allways rebarrel them later anyways, so don't sweat a little nick)

MiniMacGuru said it pretty well.

The CMP web site and forum have great information on Garands and other things.

Thanks y'all. One thing tho', I suppose that all rifle grades on the CMP list are shooters?
From Rack Grade on up, they are all functional, but the higher grades have better barrels with less wear on them. The Service Grades I've tried were fairly accurate with the surplus M2 ball Greek ammo the CMP sells.
