About three hours. I took a friend with me to the CMP South Store to help pick out a couple of Garands. We both found nice HRAs. He didn't want to buy the one he selected, so I bought both. By the time that we drove to 160 miles home, he decided that he really wanted the one that he selected. So when I dropped him and his Garand off, he gave me a check for his rifle.

My wife never really understood that I wrote a check for two Garands at CMP, but sold one by the time that I got back to town. So much for the net sum game. She still doesn't believe me on this one.
