That even makes ME want one, and I can't hit a barn with a rifle.

I had never shot an M-1 , and a friend of mine showed up at my house to show me his . He pulled it out of the case , and I asked if he would mind if I tried it . He loaded it , and I took aim at a salt lick about a 150 yards from the house . While standing on my hind legs in the driveway . I shattered that block of salt into a thousand pieces on the 1st shot ! I handed it back to him , and said "She's a little off". You should have seen the look on his face ! LUCKIEST SHOT I EVER MADE : ) SMIBSID
I unpacked and cleaned the preservative off a brand new one in March 1956...
I was very fond of it but the National Guard wouldn't let me keep it.
Rodge, it's not a need: it's a duty.

706661. But mine was a M16A2 from the Desert Storm era.

One of my pre-Obama purchases (late October 2008) was a Garand from the CMP. Nuff said?
That story is about 2-3 months old. Any changes recently, or is the ban still in place?
My brother in law had one and I could dance a milk jug up a hill at a hundred yards. I want one of my own.

Should be about $800, and better than the originals because it's new. Love mine.

I bought two from Civilian Markmanship program when Clinton was Prez. Love these weapons and loved buying real 'assault' rifles from the Clinton administration! Still available from CMP. Oh yeah, they usually have cheap ammo, too!
And CMP ships them direct to your door via FEDEX without the need for a dealer to do the transfer, as long as it is permissible by local statute. Not sure about Maryland, of course.
Service grade for about $620 delivered, and various grades better or worse for more and less. The service grade will be a pretty decent rifle, the Correct grade rifle will be a damn nice rifle, and the special grade rifles will shoot a gnat's ass out.
You owe it to yourself, Rodge.

Beware of Executive Orders and other issuances of law by administrative fiat.
I know. Let's everybody chip in and buy Rodge a top grade M-1.
Uh ... some guy.
Bite me!
Just for that, I'm gonna buy another one!
Bought my M1 after returning home from Iraq, through the CMP. Lucked out on a service grade rifle, got one made in August, 1940.
Cleaned the parts, stripped the stock, soaked it in mineral spirits, steamed out some gouges, and it's damn nice looking.
Took it to the gun blogger rendezvous, and spent an afternoon shooting 500, 800, and 1000 meter targets with nothing but iron sights. Closer in, damage is unbelievable (verified by the now-absent groundhog population at my home in Pa.)
BTW, Hi Kim!
