matt6669 71 Posted February 25, 2010 Hey Guys I just want to make sure I have all my Ducks in a row before I go take a 8 hour trip to Ohio to buy my Garand. I have a Birth Certificate - Check I have hands on training - Check I belong to Cherry Ridge and when you belong to Cherry Ridge you are a member of ANJRPC which is listed on CMP's club list. Do all I have to do is show my Cherry Ridge badge and that's good enough. Or do I actually have to get like a letter or something from ANJRPC proving I'm a member. Am I missing anything else? Thanks M Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
junkmanted 54 Posted February 25, 2010 Give them a call they helped me out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt6669 71 Posted February 25, 2010 Yeah I read on their site that I shouldn't call b/c they are experiencing high volumes of calls. But I will give it a shot tomorrow if I have time and see what happens. Thanks Ted Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted February 25, 2010 As I remember, I sent a copy of my ANJRPC membership card (not badge) along with copies of other credentials. Same wallet-sized card I show at Ramsey Outdoor Stores for discount. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chad 3 Posted February 25, 2010 Why are you driving 16 hours for a gun? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt6669 71 Posted February 25, 2010 Uh because I can! And because I want to hand pick my Garand! And also pick up some ammo. And it's going to be an experience of a lifetime. Why you want to come, it's going to be fun!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

matty 810 Posted February 25, 2010 http://www.thecmp.org/eligibility.htm Turnaround time has been in weeks lately, from the CMP forums. Ammo is finally coming in to CMP in bits and pieces, supposed to start sales end of march, hopefully-- Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djg0770 481 Posted February 25, 2010 I would have a hard time being in a vehicle for 16 minutes with you, let alone 16 hours. Thanks for the offer. What are you talking about? He falls asleep at minute #6... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt6669 71 Posted February 25, 2010 You know you joke about that Dan but its true. When I went for my Sleep Study, the technician was amazed. He said he'd been doing this for 25 years and has NEVER seen someone fall asleep in a minute 30 seconds haha I rock!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Teufelhunden 6 Posted February 25, 2010 btw, I have my DD214, that's all I need right? The DD214 will cover the training requirement. You should still bring your birth certificate for proof of U.S. citizenship. I would also bring your FID card. I don't know if you need it in the store, but you do need it when ordering by mail. What are you guys planing on getting? I just ordered an M1D service grade. The wait always kills me since I don't know what I'm going to get. I ordered a Winchester Service grade M1 one time and, while it was a nice rifle, I was somewhat disappointed that the ONLY Winchester part was the receiver.

matt6669 71 Posted February 25, 2010 Garand and Ammo We all want to hand select them! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rscalzo 3 Posted February 25, 2010 also pick up some ammo It might be available by that time. It only recently been unloaded. Submit the paperwork prior to going. They will certify you prior to your leaving. If there are any problems, you will be notified. Doing on site could or could not be cleared the same day.

Jon 264 Posted March 24, 2010 8 hours?? Weaksauce... I could do it in 6 1/2 easy. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Malsua 1,422 Posted March 24, 2010 8 hours?? Weaksauce... I could do it in 6 1/2 easy. 475 miles in 390 minutes = 32.6683077 m / s That's a moving average of 73mph. Reset your GPS stats to zero and try to give that one a whirl. Even if your typical speed on the road is 85mph, your moving average probably won't get much over 63mph. Try to run 85mph on rt80 in Ohio. I lived there for 28 years. You'll get about 5 miles. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BigDSA 0 Posted March 24, 2010 I use to drive between Columbus, Ohio and Montclair, New Jersey all the time. Went to college out there. 515 miles best time ever was 6 hours 37 minutes. Chevy Cavalier 1 tank of gas. Ran out across the street from school at the gas station. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JonF 79 Posted March 26, 2010 I use to drive between Columbus, Ohio and Montclair, New Jersey all the time. Went to college out there. 515 miles best time ever was 6 hours 37 minutes. Chevy Cavalier 1 tank of gas. Ran out across the street from school at the gas station. A fellow OSU alum! 6.5 hrs is def record time. I rented a car once to transport myself and a bunch of stuff one spring break and i logged my best time ever somewhere in the 7 hour range from Red Bank. What years did you attend (95-99 here)?

BigDSA 0 Posted March 28, 2010 I actually went to Ohio Wesleyan up in Delaware. 96-00. I caddied at Muirfield during the summers in Dublin. I had friends and family in Columbus, I had lived there from 86-90 and then went back for college. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BigDSA 0 Posted March 28, 2010 The time I made it in 6.5 hours there had just been a major snow storm that hit Ohio and PA and all of the spots where cops sit had 2 feet of snow in them. I hit the PA border doing 85mph, got past by a guy doing 95mph and caught up to him. Neither of us stopped until we hit the OH border and we never slowed to under 90 the whole time in PA. It was the best drive ever. I don't generally drive like that anymore. Older and wiser. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theRU 33 Posted May 10, 2010 Can someone buy a garand for me? Lol...... i dont meet the reqs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matt6669 71 Posted May 10, 2010 take a hunter safety course and join a cmp affiliated club and you meet the requirements. No big deal Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
theRU 33 Posted May 10, 2010 yea thats gonna be a PIA right now. The club i'm looking to join isn't affiliated... and i imagine the clubs that are affiliated are either far away or really expensive. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
