Here's a BIG item that many people forget. You have to have the proof of address page notarized by a notary public. When I moved to another spot around Richmond, VA - I forgot that and it hung up my ability to buy a rifle until I got the original address page notarized. I'm carrying it in hand to Camp Perry just so it won't get lost in the mail and then I couldn't get a rifle there if I desire.

I visited the CMP North Store yesterday. I did not see any Service Grade Garands on the racks. I did see Rack grades, Field grades and some nice Select grade Garands. For very decent shooters, these Select grades could be the right choice. They have new wood, new barrels and other GI parts that have been refinished. The rumor mill up here at Camp Perry says that they are expecting a new truck load of rifles any day now before the J C Garand match.

The right way to do it is to shoot in a qualifying match.

What is the price on the select grade?

[Peter Costas]

Honorably discharged veterans, current or retired law enforcement and current military do not have to shoot in a qualifying match.

But the veteran still has to be a club member,right?

Do be advised that the National Matches have been underway since the first part of the month, and the number of people cycling through the North Store has increased 3-4 fold...maybe more (sure to be more next week when Highpower starts!). The inventory is HIGHLY fluid at this time, so what's there today likely won't be tomorrow! If you want a "predictable" inventory, then plan your trip in January when NOBODY is there, not during the Nationals!

Yeah thats what I was thinking January after I retire in December.
