CMP question

[nrakid88]

Okay, I just ordered an M1 Garand from the CMP, joined the club, filled out the paper work, got everything notarized, went to a range and had a Range Officer sign off my firearm handling paper. So... I decided I want to order an M1 Carbine too... and I just sent the order for my garand last week. I am selling a shotgun and some other odds and ends to make up $600 for the carbine and ammo. My question is, do I have to do all the paperwork again. I know it said I dont need to have it notarized again, but do I need to go to the range again and have a Range Officer sign off on my papers? He seemed a little annoyed the first time and I would hate to have to bother him again so soon. I hope CMP keeps this on file. If you guys don't know then I will just have to ring them up and ask. Sorry for the long post

No, once you are in the system you are good to go for I believe two years unless you change residence.

If any item of proof above has expired, you must submit proof of current status with any subsequent application.

just fill out the order forms (you no longer have to get notorized for 3 years, unless you move)

I was okay with the 120 days. I am sure I will be dead tired of it in 60 days from now. But thats incredible that they used to turn them around in three weeks. Makes me drool. Why don;t they just hire some temps if they have more business now?

[Darklyte27]

more profits?.. duno..

did you order ammo from them?
They said that all orders that got in before 2/24 or something should still get ammo.. but since they have so many orders they have to say they are sold out just incase.

the question has been asked on the CMP forums, and Orest did say why they weren't going to hire more people, but I forgot the reason why.

Besides, 4 months for a garand is still nice. I remember when the DCM took more than a year to sell you your one-in-a-lifetime Garand.

they dont because in the past these frantic periods are like waves, and the time and effort to train temps and what they get for it is not a good buisness process for them. 4 months for a good shooter US battlerifle with no import marks that functions delivered to your doorstep is pretty cool!

Serious? Its not like you are asking them to drive it to CMP for you. When I asked the RO to sign mine, he took it, read it, chuckled and asked if he can just rubber stamp it.

By the way, the waiting time on Garands is long. I put in my order on the first week of December, still waiting for the sales division to start processing/open the order.

3 years on CMP Paperwork

I'm pretty sure the CMP paperwork is good for three years not two.

Women, rifles, who brought the moonshine?

The two ladies from the CMP who have sent me emails have been so very nice and helpful that I want to move to Alabama. The problem is that my better 40% (by weight) would object to both the move and the obsession with a woman with access to so many beautiful rifles.
