cmp m1 garand

[bbbas55]

i recently had an interesting experiance... i was attempting to purchase an m1 garand from cmp, got all my paper together plus a money order, fired it off to anniston. a few weeks later got an email saying my paper work was in order and my order was being forwarded to sales. well im celebrating , thinking i would soon have my gun. than a couple week later i get another email saying my order was being canceled and my money refunded. it appears the fbi nics had not approved nor disapproved my purchase but had delayed it. im now in the process of trying to get this stright.... damn big mess... im innocent....

They canceled it over a delay? That's weird...

That is strange. I was under the impression that NICS had to disapprove it within a certain time, like 24 hours? If it was not disapproved within that time, it was automatically approved.

Hope you get it straightened out, Garands are sweet.

NICS can only delay 3 days, IIRC.

Sorry to hear that, but stick with it. The M1 Garands are well worth any battle you have to go through to buy one.

The CMP is a great group, I just recieved a Garand by mail. If you are
able to buy a gun legally, there shouldn't be a problem. Unless you didn't
meet the CMP needs, but sounds like you had. Hope you find the problem
an it gets corrected, I would try it again. A Garand is a great rifle, an CMP
is outstanding.

There was just a post on this on the CMP forum, they said if you get delayed they dont wait for the call back because they do such a volume that they dont have time ,your order is cancelled

Definitely follow up and do what it takes to get your gun. CMP provides fantastic guns at VERY good prices and it is very cool having the gun FedEx'ed right to your door with no FFL hassles.

That's pretty sad if they kill it for delays.... I know they're swamped, but it sounds to me like a problem in organizational skills.

Apply again!!!!! Best deal going!!!

It sounds like a classic Catch 22. I'd probably be biting the carpet. Please keep us update on how things go for you.

I haven't purschased a Garand through them yet but I have ordered .30-06 ammo. You can't beat the prices on their ammo or Garands. I'd give it another whirl too.

Where exactly have you guys gotten these from? I would be intrested.

Here is the link to the sales site. Click on the left hand side the gun you want to buy to see prices. Price will depend on the grade you want. I just got mine a couple weeks ago and I'm the process of refinishing the wood after removing all the cosmo. It is looking unbeleivable... Definetely worth doing!!

Wait what? You don't need to go through an FFL transfer on the CMP guns?
Please expalin as I thought you had to have at least a C&R license to be able to have them shipped to your door...?

Just read the CMP website if you want the details.

The CMP will ship the rifles directly to your home. You do not need a C&R or FFL to receive.

When you fill out the CMP paperwork you basically are signing a form similar to a 4473 as well as providing proof of birth, age, and identity. The forms get notarized, then you send them in along with payment. You then wait for your orders to be processed shipped.
