So just how difficult, and expensive is it to buy an M1 Garand? I'd love to own one, ut from what I've seen online there are a few loopholes to jump through.
30-06 is fairly expensive ammo (in my book) for alot of joy shooting,
Having reloaded for my Garand, M1A, and ARs for over 35 years I don't find semis, is loaded propertly, are that hard on brass.
KraigWy, I'm from Green River but live in AK now. Ever hunt the Wind River range?
In addition to shooting clubs, the CMP also has several special affiliates. Membership in these organizations satisfies our requirement for purchase. These special affiliates include: Congressionally chartered veterans' organizations such as the VFW, AL, DAV, MCL, etc. U.S. Military services (active or reserves), National Guard, to include retirees.
I'd miss out on the fun of learning to reload and doing custom loads.
I always assumed it was a common hunting/sport shooting caliber.
all you need now is the retired military ID
So, do you have to be currently serving or does former but non retiree service (with proof) count? Sounds like the former (currently serving) or you must be a retiree.
