You you know what a sentence is or do they not teach that to little zoom zooms?
/CMP/ General
you you better type properly before berating someone over their posting style. I'm not writing an article for a gun magazine, nor a formal letter, I'm posting on fucking Jow Forums. Run on sentences are mildly humorous and still clearly convey the intended message. Eat my shit.
I still think you are an uneducated swine. But alright I guess.
Generally, there's a "proof of participation" and "proof of collecting" requirement. CC permit counts as one, and there's an origination called the GCA with a one time $20 fee that counts for the second. Easy
E5 and above only needs their dd214
t. Walked in to the cmp store in Alabama, flashes my cac card and grabbed a garand, paid and walked out.
pretty sure they alread did. people were mad because CMP was charging top-dollar.
...... Or you fags can do what I did and ask few gunshops/fuddshops to keep an eye out for any Garands some old boomer might be bringing in. That's how I got my two Garands for only slightly more than CMP price, and I was able to see them before I bought them. There's millions in circulation in the US. If you're not an impatient nigger, you'll bump into a few sooner or later.
Are they ever going to do M14s?
I don't think I've ever seen one under $1200 in the wild. In fact I think a lot of people buy as many as they are allowed just to mark up and sell.
No. The two main requirements are:
1. Be a member of a CMP affiliate organization.
If you are a member of a private gun range you might already meet this requirement. If not you can join the "garand collector's association" online for some petty fee and use that instead.
2. Proof of live-fire marksmanship training.
Literally any license, permit, or certification that proves you've shot a gun before will do. It doesn't have to be rifle related. Hunting license, CCW, Appleseed certificate, an NRA shooting course certificate. Anything.
Make copies of all that stuff, fill out your order form (if you're a first time buyer it has to be notarized, you can usually do that at your bank), cut a check, and mail it all in. That's it. A Garand will then show up at your door in about a month.
