Wow, I guess the build party phenomena has reached critical mass when the CMP starts having them. Wish I could go to Alabama to do this, I bet it will be a lot of fun.

By Steve Cooper, CMP Marketing Manager
ANNISTON, AL - The Civilian Marksmanship Program is pleased to announce the availability of the "CMP-AMC" or Advanced Maintenance Class for students with strong mechanical aptitude and a desire to learn how to work on their M1 Garand rifle. The first AMC class of 20 students will begin Friday, 1 November at the CMP's Custom Shop in Anniston. "We are excited to announce the CMP's first educational program of its kind that will provide M1 Garand rifle enthusiasts an opportunity to build their own rifle from the ground up, and take it with them upon completion of the course," said John McLean, CMP Custom Shop Manager and lead AMC instructor.
The three-day class is intended for individuals interested in knowing how the M1 Garand rifle functions in detail, as well as those desiring to know how to properly perform advanced maintenance procedures to their personal rifle(s). The class involves classroom lecture as well as hands-on shop time. Tools will be provided for students to use during the class.
"Students will each assemble from parts their own CMP Special rifle that is included in the AMC fee of $1,400," McLean added.
Some of the key components of the class will include:
Component purpose and function
Use of gauges
Commercial barrel installation, chambering and headspace
Component selection and inspection
Fitting and proper assembly of a complete CMP Special rifle
Some discussion of malfunctions and their remedies
Accurizing techniques for the M1
This class is not intended for gunsmiths or students with advanced knowledge of the M1 rifle.
