Having an "agent" hand select your rifle for you has become a very popular means of bypassing the old luck-of-the-draw for folks who can't make the drive. Everything other than the selection of the rifle is on you. The background check, the notarized paperwork, the payment, etc. The rifle is shipped directly to you, the purchaser, so no one else is ever in possession (legally) once it leaves CMP. You can go to the CMP forums for details. If I were ordering one today, that's most certainly the route I would take.
