Yes, I've looked at mail order as well. The problem is that I am going to be moving in a few months to the great state of Connecticut, and I don't want to go through the gun buying process (hassle) up there based on CMP's advertised wait times.
I'm looking at going to CMP in Anniston in a few weeks to purchase an M1 Garand and am looking to see if anyone else who has been there could give their thoughts as far as how their overall experience was, what to expect while I am there, etc. Any feedback I can get would be greatly...
Well played sir. For those of us who live in BFE, I got a box of 5 from Classic Firearms a few weeks ago for $160 apiece including shipping and FFL transfer.
