They are c&r

True enough. But, as I understand it, C&R is not necessary to purchase from CMP. Nor will C&R alone suffice to qualify for placing an order.

But a 03FFL will still let you order to your door with the addition of just a club membership (they furnish a list of participating clubs).

Very true. But eligibility to purchase requires more. Club membership + proof of marksmanship training + proof of U.S. Citizenship + whatever else I forgot. Having met those requirements, then the C&R 03FFL will let you have it shipped to your door.

Not knocking the 03FFL - got one myself. Just saying that it takes a bit more to buy these particular rifles from the CMP, should they ever come up for sale.

A copy of carry permit and club membership suffices for the extra requirements. I have a Garand from the CMP. Every collector should have at least one.

And we're seeing more Service Grade M1 Garands in stock at CMP: http://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle_sales/m1-garand/
