One of the requirements for buying firearms or ammunition through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) has been that you belong to an affiliated gun club. Typically this required finding a shooting club in your area that was affiliated, but one of the options was the Garand Collectors Association which offers memberships (and a quarterly magazine) for $35/year. However, apparently in anticipation of the upcoming offering of M14 rifles, is now allowing an option to obtain a direct membership in the CMP. Ammoland reports that "The program introduces three annual membership tiers, priority order processing for M14 purchases, and expanded rifle purchase limits, with introductory membership pricing starting at $65." By introductory prices, they mean that the prices renew at a higher yearly level.
Other purchasing requirements remain in place, including applicable age, citizenship, and firearms proficiency requirements. Members must also complete an online CMP firearm safety video and short quiz before activating their membership benefits.
