I live in Richmond, and was wondering if anyone knew of any matches within driving distance I could attend to qualify to purchase a CMP garand? If not, how has anyone else met the qualifications? I can't get my CCL for another year, so that option is out for now. Thanks.

I admit my ignorance with the CMP program ( I want one of those Garands too, but haven't done anything about it yet), but can't you qulaify to purchase one by just being a member of a recognized gun range?

Call Bill Merchant.  I just e-mailed you his phone number.  He would be able to answer any of these questions.

If you have a carry permit in your home state that now qualifies you to purchase the rifle without doing the match.  A C&R FFL also does.  Here's from CMPs web site:

Marksmanship or other Firearms Related Activity

You must provide proof of participation in a marksmanship related activity or otherwise show familiarity with the safe handling of firearms and range procedures. Your marksmanship related activity does not have to be with highpower rifles; it can be with smallbore rifles, pistols, air guns or shotguns. Proof of marksmanship participation can be provided by documenting any of the following:

        * Current or past military service.
        * Current or past law enforcement service
        * Participation in a rifle, pistol, air gun or shotgun competition (provide copy of results bulletin).
        * Completion of a marksmanship clinic that included live fire training (provide a copy of the certificate of completion or a statement from the instructor).
        * Distinguished, Instructor, or Coach status.[r]
 * Concealed Carry License.
        * Firearms Owner Identification Card.
 * FFL or C&R license.
        * Completion of a Hunter Safety Course that included live fire training.
        * Certification from range or club official or law enforcement officer witnessing shooting activity. A      form for use in completing and certifying your range firing can be downloaded from the CMP web site at http://www.odcmp.com/forms/marksmanship.pdf
        * No proof required if over age 60.

NOTE: Proof of marksmanship activity is not required for purchase of ammunition, parts, publications or memorabilia.
