Title: CMP and FFL
Post by: Aegis808 on November 04, 2011, 06:12:59 PM
so can the CMP ship straight to your house even in Hawaii?

Yes.  Both ammo and firearms.  I can attest to this from personal experience.

Just be aware, having 70 lb cases of ammo shipped to your house does NOT endear you to the FedEx delivery driver.

Yes. CMP  does. I received ammo, M1s, Remington etc.  I know one dealer that frowns upon this.

+1

Fedex must have loved me when CMP was still delivering two spam cans in the wooden crates...... ;D

Can't wait for my current order to get out of "processing" status.

If you are planning on a Garand, you may want to wait until next year when they release more service grades.

So how is it that you can get around the FFL (receiving) process?  GZ is confused......

from what i've learned it due to the CMP being a federal program and a bunch of congressional magic.

There are exceptions.  If you visit the CMP page and shop around, you'll notice that their new, commercial model .22 rifles have a "Must have FFL" disclaimer.  However, the surplus longarms do not. 

Personally, I have a C&R, so it would be legal for me to receive firearms (longarms AND handguns) from the C&R list regardless. 

I never really thought too much about how CMP did it.  My money is on a two-fold bet:  one being that there is language in the GCA 1968 covering interstate transfer of C&R items; two being that as a government-sponsored entity, they have a unique set of rules.

Lord knows they have a unique relationship with FedEx!

Yep!  Personally, I don't see how you can live without one.  But over half of my collection qualifies, so I may be a bit biased.
