thats my thought, the C&R is cheaper than most FFL transfer fees in my area and it ships to my door. Sounds like a no brainer! some FFLs in my area have said the M1 can no longer be transferred due to HB1240.I looked the other day and the CMP site still says they will ship direct to a c&r in Washington. Plus I believe the Garand doesn't get hit by the new "rules".
Been thinking of grabbing another while I can.
Finding alot more places aren't accepting a c&r just for your info. But its probably worth the 30 bucks it is for a garand through cmp. Saves alot of time and hoops.
This has been my experience... an FFL in Port Townsend says they are outright banned.The Garand has a handguard that covers the top of the barrel, but that rule only has to do with rifles with a removable magazine. So the Garand ought to be fine with its 10 round fixed magazine.
But some have theorized that the clips might be considered removable feeding devices.
As far as I can figure the Garand is about the only M1 not affected (yet). M1a/M14 and Thompson M1 are called out by "name". M1 carbine i don't see mentioned but it hits several of there categories. Removable magazine, centerfire and handguard top and bottom. I think alot of dealers don't understand the new law and are playing safe with its lack of about everything. Can't say I blame them but still frustrating.thats my thought, the C&R is cheaper than most FFL transfer fees in my area and it ships to my door.

That isn't the case with 1240. Doesn't matter what kind of license you have, no imports except for LE/mil contracts.Also, the federal rules trump the WA State rules. As an FFL you are governed by the federal rules for yourself. Now if you bought and then tried to sell to a regular resident you might well have issues.
The point is the M1 garand does not clearly fall under purview of HB1240. Different sheriff/police stations have interpreted HB1240 in different ways. With a C&R license it's my understanding the sheriff's office is left out of that discussion and it is up to me and the seller (CMP) to interpret HB1240.That isn't the case with 1240.

Sure. But it doesn't make what coltemp said generally correct.The point is the M1 garand does not clearly fall under purview of HB1240.
