I have been waiting for my son to get back from Iraq and we are headed to Camp Perry to check out the CMP store. I have my CCW/birth cert/ and club affiliation. I was wanting to get a Garand and some ammo. I would prefer a non-loaner rifle that saw some US history, but it sounds like all they have are Greek returns. Am I better off to get 1 service grade and some ammo or forget the ammo and pick out 2 best can rack grades? Do I need to bring a manual to assist getting one with the most correct parts or just pick out one that seems to show the least muzzle eroison and dinks? I was wanting to stay under $600. What do I need to measure ME etc.
Thanks
