All this talk of repatriating a considerable number of M1s from the Philippines has my mouth watering. The M1 is the one rifle I want - no - need - that is not in my safe.
Is IFC a CMP affiliated organization? Sounds like the NRA as a whole is not. I'm a member of the local Ike's, but the local club is not affiliated. Maybe National Ike's is... Any thoughts? |

Third on the GCA. If you are a veteran they take a copy of your DD214 or your NGB Form 55 to fulfill the shooting requirement. I'm grooving on the one I got last year. I owned 6 Garands at one time but I'm down to 3 now. I also have a carbine and a 1903A3. They are works of art and not just a rifle. I doubt I will jump in on these rifles but everyone should help themselves and own a piece of history. kwg |

It's my understanding you had to have been in for at least 6 years to qualify. Check their rules for sure. I did 24 years so it was not and issue for me. I also joined the GCA. I get a great magazine every quarter. I owned 6 Garands at one time but I'm down to 3 now. I also have a carbine and a 1903A3. They are works of art and not just a rifle.

Easy way to check is to call; just don't mention on the forums that you called. Yeesh. |

There are lots of ways to meet their requirements. |
