Hi all,

New Member here, long time lurker.  
I’ve always wanted an M1 Garand and was curious to know if member ship in WACA is an acceptable membership qualification for a CMP purchase?

I have a CCW, so that’s good, but wasn’t sure id WACA satisfies the club affiliation.  I used the search engine on the CMP website but nothing comes up when I enter “Winchester.”  Searching here brings up way too many unhelpful results to filter through.

Does anyone know?  And what is the likelihood to obtain a Winchester marked M1?

Thanks in advance.  If this isn’t the right location to post, LMK

Hi Brian,

As far as I know, the Winchester Arms Collector’s Association is not currently on the CMP’s list of affiliated clubs. 

The Garand Collectors Association is on the list and that is who I have previously used for my Winchester M1 Garands and M1 Carbines.  The annual cost was $25/year but that may have gone up.

The bulk Winchester M1 Garands sold out a number of years ago but there is a continuous stream of them that still show up in the CMP auction section so there is still a possibility of getting a Winchester.

You bring up a good point, WACA meets all the requirements of club affiliation and it would be easy for us to apply.  I will bring it to the attention of the WACA board for consideration.  It might bring in a few more members and give our members discounts on CMP ammo and other items.

Best Regards,
