Looking now. $500, wow. thats DEFINETLY in the range. Thank you.Start looking at odcmp.org. The CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) is a government program to promote civilian shooting. They host competitions and most importantly to you, they sell M1 Garands to qualified people. By qualified I mean veterans and people who are a member of shooting organizations. There is a list of the qualifying organizations on the website. The M1 Garands start around $500. I've never ordered any from them but I hear it can take several months to get.
My objective is to buy a second Service Grade late this spring or summer, and might drive to the Anniston store.
I have to become a member of a rifle club
I used to hunt bunny rabbits. lol. I have never entered a competition except when i was 10 years old. I dont know how im going to get past that checkpoint
