"If you really want to poke your thumb into the eyes of the antis, join the DCM, and have them MAIL you a genuine Garand Rifle.
Just think of the looks you'll get when you walk into the Post Office to pick it up!"
One slight correction. CMP, formerly known as DCM, doesn't send firearms through the mail. They ship Fedex Next Day Air to your home address, more than likely to cut down on the chance of theft. An adult has to sign for the package. I bought two firearms through CMP, a Garand and a Springfield '03.
Damn, I really AM getting old! :(
