How do you think it’s cheaper than a NRA highpower match? I think I spent 75 dollars for the Appleseed and never spent more than 15 for a NRA match.
About fifteen years ago, I was a member of this little blackpowder gunclub. We shot a CMP match for five dollars. They lent us the Garands, gave us the ammo, clips and we were able to get the occasional ammo can. Again, for just five dollars. Because of that, I was able to buy my first Garand for 165 dollars. Then the dems cut the funding for the CMP.
In my area, the NRA Basic Rifle course costs and average of about $85 per person. At Appleseed, women and anyone under the age of 20 are free.
That is exactly what I paid for my DCM Garand. They sent it to me via the US Mail! Guess the government really is above the law.
