M1 Garand

[dustyr55]

I got my service grade H&R M-1 through CMP. They have some rather strict criteria that has to be met before one can be purchased. I don't know if you can just walk into their store and purchase one. Check this link for the requirements.

I'm going to get flogged for suggesting this on this forum, but here's an idea:
You could try getting an Airsoft Gas Blowback M1. Marushin manufactures a nice 8mm version, and your parents might allow it since it's not a "real" gun.

you need a good mentor to get you rolling in the right direction. a hunter saftey course would be a good start,since your only 14.
