Florida cadre,
Max Ord is working on getting the CMP to offer an Appleseeder-only CMP armorer's course. This is where you learn how to build a US M1 Garand rifle and then take it home with you. It is traditionally done as a 'lottery", which I won in the past, but was forced to let it go when I realize the date conflicted with a previously promised trip. Willorith made and he loved every minute of it.
See the post here. I told Rusty that interest would be high in the SE. Let's see if I was right! O0
