Build Your Own M1 Garand at CMP Advanced Maintenance Class

CMP AMC Class M1 Garand Maintenance Anniston Alabama Talladega Marksmanship Park

Want to build your own accurized M1 Garand? Then consider signing up for the CMP’s Advanced Maintenance Class (AMC), a 3-day program for students with mechanical aptitude and a desire to work on M1 Garand rifles. Each student will assemble his own CMP Special M1 Garand Rifle with a USGI receiver. This will be a “keeper” Garand that the AMC student takes home. Tuition cost for the 2020 AMC is $1018.50. In addition, participants purchase a rifle at extra cost — $850 for a Field Grade Special, or $1050 for a CMP Special. Students must provide their own accommodations in Anniston, Alabama.

Students will build and purchase either a CMP Special Rifle or a CMP Field Grade Special during the 3-day course. The receiver will be a USGI manufacture.
