CMP Recognized Club

All,

I am looking for recommendations for a club that CMP recognizes that I can join online and have a quick turnaround membership card.

The last club I joined, I ended up waiting ~3 months before they mailed me a membership card.

Search there on Maryland (State dropdown box). It will bring up all your options.

Garand Collector's Association.

Join online. The CMP can check your membership directly.

Garand Collector's Association is the club I joined. Did it online and they even sent me a video about the history of the garand.

 

[retrorichard]

Thanks. It looks good and they give you a magazine!

Hey! I didn't get a video.

I didn't even get a free barreled receiver.

OP- be sure to check the option to release your membership information to the CMP. Instead of sending or faxing a membership card, just write, "GCA- check status" on the "club membership" line of your order form.

Thanks. I plan on picking up a field grade garand and having my local smith rebarrel it in 308

I plan to take a trip to the north store soon and could be an agent if you would like someone to hand select one. I would see what you can find first many fg have servicable barrels on them. Its not uncommon for fg to have numbers in the 2-3 on muzzle wear.

I appreciate the offer, but I already have 2 good garands in 30-06, just kinda have my heart set on a 308 one.

I think of it as a poor man's m1a.

M1 Collectors Club is what I went with. They are in Rockville and I got my membership card in five days.

Garand collectors association is what I joined. May also join the one in rockville but I like getting the magazine and I enjoyed the dvd as well from gca.

Threeband is correct I have a friend who is a member of monumental and that's counts as well.

I joined the Revolutionary War Veterans Association, figured since I've attended a few Appleseeds, I might as well join up.

If you make the trip up GCA without a doubt. I believe even if you charge CGA you can attach the receipt and it works. I had that happen that I didnt get my membership card back but I showed them a copy of the charge and they accepted that.
