Reply With QuoteI just went to my local store they told me 25 dollars to do the paper work.Originally Posted by gunnut
I saw the importance of having such a friend recently when an influx of German P6 pistols hit the US market. Some people have reported obtaining never issued P6s in pristine condition, complete with new box and test target still packed away with the instruction booklet. They ordered through the internet.
Mine has excellent interiors but with only about 60% bluing left on the exterior. I had to get mine though a local store. :(
I asked the stores how much they charge for internet orders and they said $150 per transaction.

That is a more typical fee.

Cruise over to the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) M1 Garand Sales page and see what’s available. The CMP offers about the best bang for your buck out there. And you are getting a real piece of history too.
Check out the Eligibility Requirements to see if you qualify. It’s a lot easier than it was 20 yrs. ago.
Review the Ordering Information and down load the CMP ORDER FORM or the ORDER FORM - FILLABLE.
I would recommend the service grade.
SERVICE GRADE: (Good to Very Good)
Service Grade Rifles show less wear and better appearance than Field or Rack Grades. Good to very good condition. Rifle wear will be exhibited by worn and mixed colors of the parkerized finish. There may be some minor pitting on the metal parts. Wood will be either Walnut, Birch, Beech or other variety and will be basically sound but may have minor hairline cracks, dings, scratches and gouges. Wood may not match in color or type of wood. Wood may be of new production on Service Grade Garands. Bores will be generally good with only minor imperfections. The barrel crown may be nicked, but the muzzle will gauge less than 3 and the throat erosion will gauge less than 5.
For $617.50 ( $595.00 + $22.50 ) you can have a CMP M1 Garand delivered to your doorstep with out the use of a FFL holder.

No FFL needed? Are you sure?
How hard is it to join the program? Do I have to qualify or something? This just might be worth looking into.

[QUOTE=GraniteForge;541496]
This is where I got mine back when I was still active duty. It took a while but the Garand I received was right out of refurbishment. I ran my serial number and found my rifle was produced/issued in 1943, was re-manufactured in 1949 and stayed in storage until it was delivered to me.
The wood has many bangs on it, but the receiver, bolt, extractor, breech and barrel are mint. I highly recommend the CMP.
After a couple of clips and clicks, that baby was dialed in at 100 yards right out of the box.
25 bucks. Range is hot.

I still don't see anything that says they'll ship to non-FFL holders. Local shop charges $150 per transaction (non private parties). Transaction between private parties within CA is something like $35. Maybe the rifle can be shipped to the club since it's a affiliate.
I looked at the links of affiliates and most of them are ROTC programs. Do you know if they are open to non-ROTC members?

Gun,
That's how I got mine. They sent it to the skeet club at my air base.
Unless there is a State or local law that prevents it, it's sent from Uncle Sam to your front door.
Gun,
You can always join the California Rifle And Pistol Association (CRPA). I’m a life member, shameless plug.
Or The Garand Collectors Association.
Even the United States Practical Shooting Association (USPSA).
Depends on where you are located if there is a local club. I was at the Presidio of San Francisco in the early 80’s when I joined CRPA.
BTW, I'm mailing out another order packet for a service grade M1 Garand tonight.
GAU,
I know if you are OCONUS firearms have to be shipped to a US military gun club. For CONUS I can see if you’re living in the barracks (sorry, dormitories for the USAF) and not in quarters or off post/base.

It used to be $22.50, m-kay.CRS

Got my service grade Garand yesterday.
Order Date 19SEP08, shipped 25SEP08.
A couple days in the mail, a week to process the order, another week to pull and ship.
Surprised me, I was expecting the 45-60 days wait.
Cleaned and inspected today, getting ready to head out and put some rounds through her. Even got a bonus grenade sight base.
And yes it was delivered to my doorstep requiring adult signature.
