There are a lot of things happening behind the scenes that the public is not aware of, but expect the collector days coming out of the CMP to be done. Enjoy what you have, and be grateful you have them.
Civilian Marksmanship Program. Not M1 Garand collector's society, never has been. The whole point of the DCM/CMP is to get people into shooting sports and then all the collectors invaded and now they bitch.
Expensive rifles did not subsidize service grades. All profits go into a fund to one day perpetually fund youth programs.
I'm sorry the North Store has been barren as of late, but before you cry sour grapes, for a long time that was the ONLY store.
