Actually, you could do: 1 then 2......or........2 then 1. In the big scheme of things........it wouldn't matter........as long as it gets done before the
paper work is sent into CMP.
My DCM/CMP story.........
Many years later the "1 in a lifetime," was dropped. So, I joined the Garand Collector's Asso. (IIRC it was $25 and you got a great magazine subscription). Then, I shot a match that was held at a local club. No one cared about your score, as long as you participated, that was good enough. And, no membership was required. That club just wanted to get folks interested in shooting. The "carrot" was that by shooting with them, they would sign you off for the "shooting requirement" of the Garand purchase. And, IF you decided to join their club..........well, they were more than happy to sign you up. I probably bought 6 Garands that year.
Aloha, Mark
My DCM/CMP story.........
I got my first Garand from the DCM......it was way back when, they were still called "DCM." It was suppose to be a buy of a lifetime. Yup, you were limited to 1 rifle for your lifetime. Well.......I did what was required, join a club, shot the matches (IIRC it was two matches to qualify), got fingerprinted, signed the affidavit w/ a notary, and sent off a postal MO. I waited and waited (was it 3-6 months). One day, the package finally came, via the US Postal Service mail truck. I felt like a kid at Christmas.
Jeez........I got a IHC.......I felt like I had won the lottery. And, in a way I did. That, is what started my addiction. Hello, my name is Mark, and I'm a Garandaholic......
Aloha, Mark
PS……..Kids now days, got it easy.
