I resisted as long as I could...and bought an M1 Garand at the CMP North Store about 5 years ago.
Now I compete with it, and I see the attraction. My receiver on my rifle was made in September 1941.
If only it could talk, , ,
Thank you, CMP!

I was first introduced when this show was under the DCM. My wife's uncle, an Iwo Jima Marine, purchased match grade .45's, M-14's and M-1's. Since then, the 1960's -1980's, the prices have shot through the roof under CMP. Still a great program but kind of expensive for guns the tax payers have already paid for.

they make it sound soooo simple when in fact your jumping thru hoops rules regulations club memberships marksmanship courses or experience verification citizenship etc for an old surplus CRAZY.

I stopped into Aniston on July 22nd with my father-in-law and brother-in-law, and I want to thank the people at the store for giving us a memorable experience. I picked up my 2nd Garand (first one I actually purchased) and everyone went above and beyond being helpful and friendly. The process could not have been any better, and I just want you to know we truly appreciate what y'all do. Thank you.

If only my country had this program. I would sign up for these in a heartbeat! The M1 is such a beaut

I grew up with a Springfield Armory M1, both my father and uncle used one in Ww2 and Korea and were damned good with it. I learned to tear it down and reasseble at 10 years of age. We did it on the kitchen floor for entertainment. That was 60 years sgo and the old rifle still works like it did the day it was born.

I’ve bought more M1 rifles than I can count on one hand from y’all. Every one of them are unique and a piece of history. I’m glad I have each and every one of them in my collection❤

Garand superfan here...just picked up a rack cmp m1 and could not be happier!!! waited over 20 years to be able to get a hold of one of these historic rifles!! looking forward to my family enjoying it for generations!

I went though to Ling process to buy one of your A1 1911 and it's my most prized firearm that I will be it's care giver until I'm gone, then hopefully the next owner will also cherish it.
CMP, great organization saving history and teaching Americans how to defend our Country.
Thank you

Love my CMP M1, got it about 10 years ago, wish I had gotten a couple more back then for my boys

I'm on my HS's MCJROTC Rifle Team, we went to Anniston, AL for the 3PAR regionals, best experience I'll ever get from HS.
Thank you CMP!

This is the most up to date and easy to understand process for a CMP purchase…mines expired before COVID… time to do it again 👏🤙🏽

[Watthead]

The problem i have with the CMP is all the hops you jave to jump through. I can see paying some sort of membership dues. But requiring marksmanship training or equivalent is absurd. Theyre basically acting as gatekeepers to military surplus that the CIVILIANS should be able to access.
I say they should be abolished.

[ThePesmerga]

Or just.. Ya know. Find and buy one. And not jump through 12 additional hoops. It's not impossible to find surplus rifles anymore, online sales are a thing now.

[Jackal-xcsw]

Thank you for this. Seen too many fools trying to sell them marked up at ridiculous prices.

[surplus_kato]

I got one that was issued for Korea, brought back and restocked. It's so beautiful

[rafaelavina]

Im so glad I bought my M1 Garand back in 2015

[atwstillo]

I got my M1 Garand today!!! Thank you so much CMP!!!!

[drillbit]

Love you guys and your work in keeping such beautiful rifles relevant, will you ever be opening new stores and ranges?

[NaillLookingforaHammer]

Great program. Wish we had such here in Australia.
