I just ordered a CMP Garand, and am FIRED UP about it! The only thing is I commission in 2 weeks, then on 6 June i report for 6 weeks of training. During that time (or perhaps the week before) I will be PCSing to another state. If I do not receive my rifle before I move, can I have it delivered to a friend's house, and then have him ship it to me once I get more stabilized? Mind you this would be across state lines. My head says it would be ok, because it would be MY rifle that is in MY name on the 4437, but what my head says should be right, and what they law says is "right" are often two very differnt things (if they were the same thing i would have a pile of machine guns by now) So can I have a buddy receive my CMP rifle for me, then ship it to me across state lines without an FFL getting involved? |

Your first order from CMP normally takes about a month. You might call customer service after they send you email norification of receipt of order (7 to 10 days) and ask them to put the order on hold till you get a permenant address. Either that, or just wait till your application clears and take a road trip to the North Store, pick out a rifle, and take it with you.

CMP will ship to any address that you designate. However, your friend could not forward it to you without going through an FFL. Also, there is no 4473 done for CMP purchases. The CMP is exempt from the Gun Control Act of 1968. That's why they can ship directly to the customer with no FFL involvement on either end. |
