Cmp Service Grade Garand


Recommended Posts

It's easy, but involves a lot of personal information. Everything is spelled out on the website. The "hardest" part is membership in a CMP approved club. For me it was the Illinois NRA. I think if you are looking for a "like new shooter" they are a great place to go. I've heard they segregate historic and collectable rifles to sell elsewhere, who knows? You do not need a FFL holder to get involved. I think that's why they require so much personal info.

 

Good Luck, you won't be disappointed.

CMP is first and foremost an organization set up to promote marksmanship. They are not set up specifically to sell rifles. When I was looking through the clubs in my area they were typically shooting clubs, and they require participation. I'm not sure why the Illinois NRA is acceptable but not the National NRA. Why not just join the Illinois NRA. You'de still be money ahead when you compare Garand prices at gunshows and on the internet.

My $0.02 worth of advice (and worth every penny).

Join the Garand Collectors Association. Cost is $25 a year, plus you get 4 color magazines each year about M1 Garands and other rifles. Well worth the money. When you send the form in, mark the box that tells them to notify the CMP. Then the CMP knows you are a GCA member.
