Oh, I got the hots for a CMP Garand a couple of years ago, gathered copies of my NRA Life card, CCW, Hunter Safety Certificate, Membership in my range, Handgun Hunting Tester ticket, etc, etc, (and there was some kind of exemption for age, which I forget what it was) and once again decided I didn't like the clip mechanism anyhow.
The Japs got it right when they copied it, with a detachable magazine and a carrying handle.
You ain't got a clip, you ain't got a rifle. So I gave it up.
Besides, IIRC, they only had them in .308.
