DCM afiliated organization - join online?

[richyoung]

Does anyone know of an organization affiliated with the OCMP/DCM that I can join on-line or via fax and get my proof of membership right away?  I'd like to buy a rifle from the OCMP, but its been years since I've done it.  I'm a life NRA memeber and have a CCW, so I have those areas covered.  Thanks in advance, gurus!

You can also just get your C&R.

The Garand collectors Association worked for me.  They electronically deliver their membership list to the CMP.  I joined the GCA and mailed my CMP order the same day and it went through just fine.  I just included a signed letter I wrote stating I had just joined the GCA.

Thanks - I guess I will join the Garand Collector's ass'n - I was leaning that way anyway.  I'm looking to get some greek 30-06 and a couple of the Mossberg M44's - I've heard good things about the ones they are shipping out lately.

Rich, since you are active duty Army, all you need to do is fax them a copy of your ID card. There are exceptions for folks that are / have been military.

Alas, I have never had the privledge of wearing the uniform.  I am but a lowly contractor who has worked FOR the Army most of my adult life.  No retirement, but no P.T. either...

I guess that's what I get for assuming you were Army by your email address.

In Texas, the TSRA is an affiliated organization. 

The Garand Collector's Association is the one most recommend for a quick fix.
