I'm looking to buy a Garand, and have found CMP prices to  be the only I can afford. However, I have no idea how to become qualified. Do I really have to be a member of a club, or just take a course? And what about all the other stuff? This will be my first firearm of any kind. Any suggestions are welcome.

You have to be a member of an affiliated club.  $20 and a 37 cent stamp solves that.

Then the easiest way to meet the "training requirement" is DD214 (if X-military) or copy of your CCW.

The other ways to qualify are listed on the above website.

Oh, and there is no such thing as only buying one gun from CMP

+1 on what he said. Get a CMP gun. Mine is a rack grade Greek, and I bet it will outshoot me for many years to come. If you can get a service grade, do it; you won't regret the decision at all. Qualifications are fairly easy to get, check the site. I got mine this summer, and I treasure that thing. I will never give it up. It may be one of the first ones lost in 'the terrible boating accident" if it comes to that.

Thanks all for your answers, and now just to find out where the money will come from. All I can say is it wont come soon enough. I'm on a military Drill Team and I have this M1 stock I have to refinish just lying around teasing me. Can't wait to get one of my own.
