Yeah I'm already a member of a gun club and USPSA which qualifies for CMP. The Garand process doesn't seem too bad it's just a matter of ordering it when I have the funds .So, here's what you do:
Join the Garand Collectors Association for $25 per year, you can do it online. They will send your membership info to the CMP without you doing anything.
-Xerox your birth Certificate or Passport.
-Xerox your SC CWP (I assume you have this?)
-Fill out the Form, which is shorter than a 4473. Get it notarized at the bank or wherever.
-Fill out the order form
Stick them in an envelope and Mail them off. Paperwork done for 2 years and you can buy several Garands with just order forms during that time. Shipped directly to your doorstep, no 4473 or FFL needed.
It sounds more complicated than it is the first time you do it...been there, done that. The 1911s are supposed to be the same or similar paperwork + a 4473.
The whole lottery system + needing to coordinate with a local 4473 for the 1911's just puts me off of that one.
