BTW, found this cool website featuring parts for M1 Garands:
http://fulton-armory.com/index.aspx They are selling the rifles starting at $1500.
Anyway, I did the math, and I could join SSA shooting range in Lakeland for $600 (1 year membership) and then purchase a M1 Grand from the CMP for $400 and still spend less than buying one for a excellent deal at a gun show.
