CMP M1 Garand purchase

[Kpquinn9100]

Hey all. Ive attended 4 reveres riders events (1 basic rifle, 1 basic handgun, and 2 carbine) and at one was able to shoot TJ’s m1. I’ve got a hankering to purchase an m1 from cmp after they sent me an email to remind me that I wanted one. I remember briefly speaking about the purchase of one with TJ but can’t remember how I go about this. I believe there was some sort of form that I needed to send cmp. Is this form just the one you get for class completion or another one? Is there anything else from reveres riders I would need? Thanks in advance. Also is there any talk of a field rifle event in the future? Would love to stretch the legs on my latest build!

Here is the CMP Sales page. I'd recommend a Service Grade for a first M1.

Here are the detailed instructions. Yeah, it is jumping thru some hoops; but, that first time you make your own M1 "PING!", you'll have no regrets.

Your RR Certificate gives you the shooting requirements, for the Club membership, I highly recommend the Garand Collector's Association.

Garand Collectors Association - M1 Garand Collectors Association

It is $25 a year. The quarterly magazine is well worth the price.

Awesome I appreciate the help! I was browsing the requirements page earlier today and wondered about the club. I’ll check out the one you listed. I love literature so a quarterly magazine would be an awesome way to learn some more about the garand. Thanks again!

If you open that downloadable order form on the second link, page 4A in the middle is a check list that pretty much walks you through.

And once you order one, you are in the system. The next purchase is much easier. That's how it begins...

Next thing you know, you're waiting in line waiting for the CMP South Store to open, so you can score a Rack Grade...
