I resisted as long as I could...and bought an M1 Garand at the CMP North Store about 5 years ago. Now I compete with it, and I see the attraction. My receiver on my rifle was made in September 1941. If only it could talk,,, Thank you, CMP!

Since then, the 1960's -1980's, the prices have shot through the roof under CMP. Still a great program but kind of expensive for guns the tax payers have already paid for.

Perhaps an old Lithgow .303 is on the cards too. Anyway, hope the Ol' Elephant Gun is serving you well. Cheers from Oz.

@@NaillLookingforaHammer I understand that Australia is a great country and all that but if you really want to own a gun you could try and move to the United States. However I know that is a big move because all your family is in Australia and all of your friends as well so I could also recommend trying to petition the government to allow firearms again because I know plenty of Australians who support firearms rights both in the US and back home. On a side note I find it funny how many Australians are in Massachusetts as well as how many support gun rights seeing as Massachusetts is one of the strictest states when it comes to firearms. So to cut it short I wish you the best of luck in trying to get your firearm rights back and if it doesn't work America always has room for more people. Cheers mate best of luck.

Shooting guns isn't really one of my interests. But I do love history (I assume that is why KZfaq recommended this video to me) and the M1 Garand is one of those few firearms that I would actually be interested in shooting someday. Though I will likely never pass the firearm proficiency course that you mentioned in this video, I haven't shot a gun in more than 10 years and because of my lack of interest I probably won't anytime again soon.

@chrisseger2346 11 ай бұрын

Qualification for a Concealed Carry License in just about every state isn't much of a challenge. As an example, the NRA Basics of Pistol Shooting, which would qualify you for a CHL in most states, requires you to put 5 rounds each into 4 circles at 10 feet. You get as many attempts as you need, provided you haven't rubbed your instructor the wrong way. There are likely even more lenient classes. In Ohio, you simply need to spend 2 hours on the range as part of your chosen class - there is no state-required marksmanship standard.

I am 83. When I was 15 I got on a bus in Englewood, CO and rode it to downtown Denver to the Dave Cook Sporting Goods store. There I put $75 on the counter and was given TWO M1 rifles still in cosmoline. I didn't need an ID or proof of age. The 2nd Amendment still applied. I rode the bus back home and no one took a second glance. I removed the factory finish and spent several days rubbing the rilfes stocks with boiled Linseed Oil. The finish became rock hard and looked and felt like glass. They were rifles in my gun collection, which included a late 18th century English Royal Armory muzzle loading rifle, an 1896 Stevens falling block 22 rifle with an hexagonal barrel that had been shot so much the rifling was almost completely worn away, a Stevens 12 gauge pump shotgun, and my favorite, a Western Field 22 long rifle with 4X scope. Other kids my age spent their money on 3.2% beer to act "cool". I spent my money on ammo. 😀 When I went off to college my younger brother sold my gun collection.

why do you need all of this to own a riffle? does the state matter? is the state requiring these 3 items?

These are not requirements to own a rifle, just the requirements for CMP to sell you one of theirs.

So even though it's in Alabama, it's a federal program, right? So you don't have to be a Alabama resident to purchase in person? Like, could I just drive over from Georgia, show my military ID, sign up for a membership, and then purchase an M-1 Garand? Is it really that easy? Also, I've driven past many times, is that beautiful range open every day?

@CivilianMarksmanshipProgram 11 ай бұрын

Your military ID will cover membership as well. So yup! And the Talladega range is open Wednesday-Thursday 11-5 and Friday- Sunday 9-5. Your new garand comes with a certificate for an hour at the range as well :)

As a former U.S.Marine, I only wish I had the eyesight I had 35 years ago. As a 40% DAV (direct combat related with a LOT of experience at the VA), I know the USMC part fits the membership, and ID/DD214 covers the ID part...but where I once had 20/20 vision, now its 20/80...not good for 'open iron sights'. I remember 35 years ago, you could pick up an M1 in 'cosomoline condition' for a couple-hundred dollars (in .30-06 or .308)...and no one wanted them...due to weight (and due to a lot of new rifles coming out, you could get an M1A in .308 for under $500)! I DO regret not getting one of each back then.
