On May 28th I turned in my Firearms ID card packet to my local police station (South Brunswick Police Department). Now I'm just playing the waiting game. I am 19 yrs old and dont have any reason to be denied. I used to be the armorer at a military academy in PA that I attended from 2007-2011. I want to order a CMP HRA service grade M1 Garand soon just to get a jump start on the 60-90 day waiting period for the rifle. My question is do you think its a good idea to have a rifle shipped to cheyenne mountain outfitters in Robinsville nj BEFORE I recive my FID card? I planned on doing this then picking it up in 2 months when I SHOULD be cleared? Thanks.

I wouldn't recommend ordering it til you have your FID

rule of thumb, multiply the time frame they give you by 3. So they say 2 months, chances are youll be waiting 6 months.

Mail order at the CMP is running several months behind.  Providing you have an FFL who will not mind holding a gun for you then I would go ahead and order it at this time.

 

Just be aware that initial FPID generally takes quite a bit of time.

ask the dealer if he will hold it ,, and keep in mind some do charge, if they need to hold something for a long time . So ask

How do you plan on ordering your CMP rifle without the CMP having a copy of your FID card on file??

Do you qualify on all the needed stuff to order from the cmp?

 

Or why not call the cmp, they are pretty helpful and friendly.

The CMP stopped shipping rifles to NJ customer's doors and started requiring proof of FPID on file after someone (from NJGF? ) tipped off the state

 

The lack of FPID is going to be the show stopper for the OP

 

The proof of citizenship, age, club affiliation, marksmanship requirement and notarized application are trivial in comparison

I know that, it was for the OP to think about.

 

But you are right, for the OP to get his fid first.
