Re: Visiting a CMP Store

I visited the Talladega store last year in July. On a Saturday. I was in Birmingham for work and had the weekend off, so thought I'd visit.

Really nice place. Huge building, the sales store is inside, a smaller part of the facility.

I drooled over the outdoor shooting range.

The store was very nice, and the two people inside very friendly. They did make me wear a mask and put on rubber gloves before I could pick up anything. I went in with my own mask, they had gloves in a box outside the store.

Nice selection of 1903s and a few M1 Garands on the racks.

I had previously bought an M1 Garand by mail order (a couple years earlier), and they told me that my paperwork they already had on file and my LTC would be enough that I could buy anything (except 1911) and walk out with it then. I checked with my brother to see if he wanted a Garand, but he didn't have the funds right then.

I don't know what requirements they would want if I wasn't already in their system. A call to them first would be wise.

Overall, a really nice experience. Definitely worth the drive. And some really good BBQ in Talladega.
