The first AMC class starts Friday, November 1st at the CMP Custom Shop in Anniston, Alabama. The course fee is $1,400.00.

Advanced Maintenance Class - FULL. We advertised the first CMP Advanced Maintenance Class last week and received an overwhelming response. This new class will be held at the CMP Custom Shop and will allow students to build their very own M1 Special Rifle during the class. The first, lucky 20 students have been notified of their acceptance into the class. If you applied and did not get accepted, the CMP plans to hold additional classes next year in Anniston. Dates will be announced at a later date and an email announcement will be sent out. There is no waiting list for the class and will be on a first come, first serve basis. For more information, visit
