    A middle-aged man wearing a dark apron over a gray t-shirt stands in what appears to be a gun shop or firearms retail store. He is holding a vintage bolt-action or semi-automatic rifle with a wooden stock diagonally across his body. The background shows multiple firearms displayed on wooden wall racks with price tags attached.

    Robert Bell, an M1 Garand armorer with the Civilian Marksmanship program, poses with the rifle in the CMP store during the CMP National Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio, Aug. 3, 2018. The .30 caliber semi-automatic weapon was the standard-issue rifle during World War II and the Korean War. Over the past 65 years, most of the rifles have been rebuilt, refinished, rebarreled and repaired at least once, with few in original condition still today.
