In the Army I qualified expert with an M14, but my eyes are much older now. I don't know just how I could qualify today.

Larry, those Garands aren't getting any cheaper (or more plentiful)! I think all the WWII Garands are gone -- at least the Springfields in Rack and Service grade. I managed to snatch a 1942 Springfield a few years ago, and just got an H&R last year. They'll run out someday. The CMP rifles hold their value VERY well; keep the certificate if you buy one, and you'll probably never lose money on it. Your military service qualifies you (in part) to purchase through CMP.
