CMP purchase

[SunnySlopes]

Somebody told me (on another forum) that if I were to purchase a CMP Garand (having met the eligibility requirements), the CMP will deliver my rifle to my doorstep, no license needed?

Is this correct?

 

[GBExpat]

Correct.

 

[TurtlePhish]

Yup.

 

[jcwit]

Shur Nuff

 

[BK]

True dat.

That is correct, but a trip to either of the stores is HIGHLY recommended. At the store, you can take your pick of hundreds of rifles. Seeing all those M1's lined up is quite an experience.

CMP has a very good website detailing the process.

 

[mgkdrgn]

Yep. And you will get the best M1 you can get for the money anywhere.

Yes, but there some qualifications, lest someone think the CMP is taking shortcuts -

1. As part of the forms you fill out, you provide info so the CMP can perform a NICS check...the same as would be done at a FFL dealer.

2. There is a statement you sign that affirms that you are eligible to purchase a rifle according to your location. (That is, you have any required permits, etc. which your state might require.)

I believe this is the reason why they are allowed to ship to your doorstep.

(There may be a little more to it, involving the original military DCM "changeover" to CMP, but the above is probably a fairly good summary.)

3) You must belong to a CMP affiliated club
4) You must show proof of "marksmanship activity"
5) You must show proof of citizenship and residence

2a) the above mentioned form must be notarized

None of this is difficult, but it does help ensure that the purchaser is interested in the shooting sports.

I believe you can qualify with a C & R license as well

4) You must show proof of "marksmanship activity"

Your CCW permit fulfills this requirement

For those of us with a few years behind us..............we are many times overqualified. I mean military service, C&R license, shoot competitively in hi power. If you're older, your more than likely already qualified.

CMP is the best deal going for a piece of history.

 

[Moose458]

You also qualify with a copy of your DD214.

 

[roadchoad]

I knew you could have one shipped TYD with all that info and
paperwork, but if I walk in to the store and buy there, is the transaction just like a normal FFL transaction?

 

[Geneseo1911]

No, you still have to meet the same qualifications.

Check out the CMP website: ODCMP.com.................everything you need to know.

Plus one for the in person trip.........well worthwhile.............picked up my first CMP purchase at the North store last August. Nearly mint SA dated 4/55 with a CMP new stock.....Rifle looks unfired and will hold under an inch at a hundred!

Service grades are the best deal, but supply has of recent been somewhat sporadic. If you want one likely now is the time as the CEO has speculated they'l be sold out in the near future..........three to five years.

If you go to the CMP North or South Store pick your favorite off the rack and have them send it via BWT to your door.
