Got mine back in the 1990s from the DCM back then. You had to show evidence of shooting the Highpower course of fire, I think 100 rounds, and your gun club had to be DCM affiliated. I recieved a nice Springfield Armory example, with the nice dark green parkerizing. I think it was $300 at the time. Don't know what they are going for today. Shot an M1 the first year I shot the National Matches at Camp Perry in 1997. Properly set up with NM sights, you could do reasonbly well at the 600 yard stage.
