Something I've wondered for a long time...when did the old DCM program start offering M1icon Garands for sale? Was it in the 60s (or earlier), or did it begin after the National Guard retired them in the 70s? And to what extent (if at all) did they "support" the rifles via ammunition, repairs and the like?

I had always wanted to get a rifle from the DCM back in the day, but could never find a way to do all the hoop-jumping it required (competitions and the like)...then it became the CMPicon and it all became SO much easier!
