[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Just Ordered My CMP Garand (SO EASY TO ORDER). How Long Before It Arrives?

I can't believe how easy it was to order it. Here's all you have to do:

Pick out your Garand or Springfield ($350-$1400):

List of Garands

List of Springfields

1. Online CMP purchase form filled out, including credit card info, signed by you, and notarized:CMP Purchase Form

2. Photocopy of passport, birth certificate, proof of naturalization, or any official government document that shows birth in the U.S. or states citizenship as U.S.

3. Photocopy of concealed handgun license card (or proof of firearms competency). See webpage for other options if you don't have CHL.

4. Proof of membership in CMP affiliated organization. Join at Garandcollector.Org online for $25 if you're not already a member of a CMP affiliate range. (Garandcollector.org will notify CMP in about 3 days of receiving your membership app and payment). I mailed my GarandCollector membership app and CMP stuff on the same day. I included a copy of my garandcollector membership application and a copy of the $25 check w/ my CMP forms.

Check here to find a list of affiliated ranges/clubs by state. If you're already a member of a CMP affiliate, just include a copy of your membership card with your CMP order

They ship it directly to your house. No FFL required.

IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS ABOUT MEETING THE REQUIREMENTS, CHECK THE CMP ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS WEPPAGE

I ordered a Springfield service grade and they received it on Jan 3rd. Still waiting

Posted: 2/2/2006 5:23:02 PM EDT

[#6]

Yeah I ordered a Service Grade in January as well. I dbout it will be here untill April or May.
Last I heard on the CMP forum, they have bout 500 back orders to fill.

Posted: 2/2/2006 5:24:05 PM EDT

I've got 7 of them. They are like Lays potato chips, can't stop with just one.

Posted: 2/2/2006 5:30:31 PM EDT

I ordered mine back in 2002 and I'm still waiting.

Honestly though, what was sad was that I recieved it in 7 days from when I ordered it... 3 days LESS than if I were to walk into a gun store here in CA and waited the 10 day cooling off period.

Posted: 2/2/2006 7:28:47 PM EDT

Ordered mine back in July and it was here in 12 days. When ever you get recieve it, it's worth the wait.

So being a team member at AR15.com qualifies me, or do I need to get a membership at that Garand Collector?

How bad of shape are the $350 ones?

AR15.com is not a CMP-affiliated group, so no.

The $350 ones won't look pretty, but certainly will shoot!

Dont you have to shoot a match for some type of check off approval from a CMP/NRA approved gun club and send that proof in to qualify for a CMP rifle?

No the CCW is sufficient, I think they loosened up the requirements a while back. If you are worried about what you would get for a Rack grade(the cheapest) you can go to Camp Perry in Ohio and pick it out yourself.

use this to make the links hot.

The wait time varies depending on if they have the grade that you ordered sorted out and ready to be shipped. My Service grade USGI HRA took 3 months to receive when I ordered it in March 2004.

Doesn't an honorable DD-214 qualify as having exp with a firearm for CMP's req ?

Yes, DD214 can replace the shooting requirement.

Grease soaked ugly wood and bad barrels. Get a field grade instead.

No no, I've got plenty of garands - I'm just being pissy and whiny because CMP rules don't allow me to buy from them. If they did, I'd probably have a baker's dozen by now at least.

So instead I have to pay a couple of hundred dollars markup from people who buy from the CMP, when I can find them at decent prices.

I've asked the CMP if if they could make an exception for people that were actually ISSUES the garands they were selling - since I wanted to buy a Danish garand (or three), but they didn't go for it.

You don't have to have a GCA membership but you do have to have a CMP-affiliated club membership. Click here and select Michigan in the state search box. With over 100 affiliated clubs in Michigan, if you are a member of a local club or your state association (shame on you if you aren't) you already meet the club requirement. If not, here's your chance to join and support your state association.
