Has anyone here ordered a CMP M1 Garand?
« on: March 03, 2013, 05:20:27 PM »
Can't seem to find information on whether or not the CMP Surplus sales program is a go or no-go for Hawaii. Only that NY SAFE law was a deal killer for that state.

*Civilian Marksmanship Program is a govt sponsored organization at provides US citizens firearms/safety/marksmanship training as well as access to cheap US surplus firearms like the M1 (for example, they sell field grade M1s for $650 shipped, with a nice case too).

They ship it straight to your door with no FFL required so I figured Hawaii may have some dumb law in place to throw a wrench in that process. Has anyone here acquired a firearm from the CMP?

<----- is curious, too. Gots me some extra work and was thinking of throwing down for the same thing. I like the Garand, for some reason. I need another calibre like a hole in the head, but... sweet rifle and a good price.  :shaka:

Yes. I've ordered rifles, ammo and parts from CMP. They ship to Hawaii. You must meet the eligibility requirements.

I personally haven't ordered one but a friend just received his CMP Garand (believe it's a service grade H&R), another friend is about to order & I've even thought about adding one more Garand to the collection.   I'm pretty sure you'll be good to go as well.

Hawaii rifle association, I think if your memeber and do a fun shoot you should qualify.  I plan oordering a service grade rifle but gonna check the gun show first.  That way no 3 month cmp projected wait to process and ship your order

I was thinking about the gun show too, but I doubt anything will be close to reasonably priced...

In addition to sending them proof of your belonging to a CMP-affiliated organization like the HRA, you need to send them a copy of your longgun permit. Yes, they send the rifle straight to your home :thumbsup:
Hauling your new toy down to the police station for registration is the final step.

I got mine in December without any problems.  My affiliated club was HDF.  Good luck!

Hawaii Defense Foundation is CMP affiliated.  I have a question as well.  These are the CMP requirements to be eligible to purchase from them:

1. Current or past military service.
2. Current or past law enforcement service
3. Participation in a rifle, pistol, air gun or shotgun competition (provide copy of results bulletin).
4. Completion of a marksmanship clinic that included live fire training (provide a copy of the certificate of completion or a statement from the instructor).
5. Distinguished, Instructor, or Coach status. - Concealed Carry License.
6. Firearms Owner Identification Cards that included live fire training. - FFL or C&R license.
7. Completion of a Hunter Safety Course that included live fire training.
8. Certification from range or club official or law enforcement officer witnessing shooting activity

A while back I completed my handgun safety course with HDF that included live fire training.  Does this fit the requirement for eligibility for number 4 or 7?  Hope someone who has bought from there can help out!   :shaka:

I know at least four other members have ordered guns from them with our stuff.
Check out the Hawaii Defense Foundation.

I'm currently putting my first CMP order together myself. I'm ordering one
Of the CMP special grade M1. And maybe a service grade later.

CMP rocks!  That's really the only word for it.  Guns and ammo delivered straight to your door!  No FFL needed!! 

It's the way I keep my .30-06 and .30 carbine battle rifles fed.  Without CMP, I would not be able to afford to feed them.  Of course, without CMP, I would have fewer of them to feed, so there is a cost...
The difference between theory and reality is that, in theory, there is no difference between theory and reality.

Be careful recommending the HRA. I am not trying to say anything bad about them here. I just want to state the facts as I was told. I recently tried to use them as a affiliated club for the CMP. They are currently not a affiliated club as they have not yet paid their dues to the CMP this year. However, if you have an HRA membership card the CMP will probably accept it as they know the HRA will eventually pay their dues. However, if they take too long the CMP may not accept your HRA membership. The only club I know of here that is current and is listed with the CMP is the Hawaii Defense Foundation (HDF). You can use this link to verify club affiliation: http://ct.thecmp.org/app/v1/index.php?do=clubSearch

Thanks Ren. I like the CMP prices on .22 target ammo due to the brick of ammo I purchased from you. Great ammo at good prices delivered to your door. Can't beat that!!!!
