Trip to Camp Perry

[dusterboy49]

Accompanied an old friend and his wife to Camp Perry 04/06/13.
CMP store was not busy at all.
He was looking for and purchased an M-1 Garand.
He paid extra and got one that was classified as a "Special".
Folks at CMP were friendly and there were no hassles.
Nice looking rifle.I will try to get him to post some pics.

I'm hoping to go in a couple of months. What's the inventory like?

Very nice... It's always worth paying a little extra for what you want for hard to get purchases

They had quite a few of the higher priced rifles $995.00 and up.
They said that they were expecting a shipment of the mid-range priced rifles
which cost approximately $600.00.
They also had ammo for the Garand.
Only paperwork required for my friend who was an Army vet was:
Copies of DD214, birth certificate, and he had to show his VFW card.
He never shot a CMP program so this is what he had to show to obtain his riflle.
They also had .22 rifles and airguns if that interests you.

Thanks for the information and can't wait to add a Garand to the collection.
