tahunua001, I'm not saying that was a tale, but the ONLY time I've heard of non-CMP employees even handling their rifles was a few years back. The Garand Collector's Association had their convention down at Anniston, and members were allowed to volunteer to help empty boxes of Garands, not work on them. I'd reckon they would fear liability if they allowed a civilian, with just a simple armorer's course, to build a rifle and take it home with them. The staff at the CMP can't even hand pick a rifle out of the lot they have and buy it.
