cannonball Run to CMP, Camp Perry, Ohio

Mason-Dixon Baseball · Mar 5, 2011

This may take a while to get all the cosmos lined up right, but it could be fun to make a one-day to-and-back trip to the CMP store.

Anybody have any ideas on this? It's about a seven hour drive from Towson, so we'd need to leave early to get all our shopping in...

I'm not really up for an over-nighter with any of you :lol2:

, but if we left here at 6am, that puts us in Camp Perry around 1pm, giving us 4 hours in the store....

Who cares when we get home, we'd have our new toys to play with on the ride home.......

1. better to get in right when they open, you will have better traffic conditions both ways.

2. It's cheaper to ship than pay Ohio sales tax.....

3. keep me posted on possible trip dates.....

Good point on the tax, but I figured you could better hand pick something, although it seems like everybody is always very pleased with what they receive....

Drmsparks · Mar 5, 2011

no, you can hand pick and they will ship. You'll see it in a day or two instead of riding with it....

Spot77 and I did this a few years ago. It's not a bad trip at all.

Mason-Dixon Baseball · Mar 6, 2011

I don't imagine prices are any cheaper in the store? Daily Specials? :innocent0

Blue Light Specials

Nope.....but you get to hand pick your rifle. Mine had a basically unfired barrel on it and I only got it because the person working the floor was restocking the racks as other rifles sold that day. He walked up to me and said that I had better take a good look at this one.

That could be really good, or really really bad.

Well, we weren't in the bathroom or anything, and he did say "rifle" and not "gun". :lol2:

I can just imagine the looks on the other drivers' faces as they pass a car full of guys with their Garand barrels hanging out the windows...

Is this still a passing thought for anyone?? THier??

I might be in

Another thought, CMP brings the store to the Eastern Games at Camp Butner, NC.
May 7-15.

EDITED TO ADD: it looks like on-site rifle sales stop after the 10th

I'm thinking May/June maybe? Not sure how long it takes to get paperwork in order ahead of time, and one other consideration for us is what they have or are getting in stock at what point... We'll need to keep an ear out for upcoming shipments...?

You can take care of just about everything (except the shooting verification ) while you're there. Just bring the required ID and they'll notarize it there and you can also join the GCA while you're there, as well...

So how does this process work....do you just bring you C&R and have it shipped to your house??

MDB.....you're gonna get me in trouble if you talk me into a road trip.

Don't need a C&R. They are allowed to ship to anyone's (who qualifies) house...

So your telling me that even though I don't have a c&r, they will still send me an M1 to my house? Do the do the nics check there or something. I'm not doubting you but I need clarification.

Yes, the order form is notarized and the NICS check is conducted at the store or warehouse. CMP (officially/legally the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, a registered charity) is specifically chartered by Congress to do this, as a holdover from its days as the Army's Director of Civilian Marksmanship/National Board for the Promotion of Rifle Practice.
