Good program and good people that have been around forever. Started a long time ago as the DCM. Make money for their shooting programs by selling M1 Garands, other US owned firearms, ammmo, and other stuff. They host the National Matches every year as well. Are you sure you never heard of the CMP? | |||

| Thank you Very little |
I've heard of them but no first hand knowledge | |||

They also have a smaller store in N. Ohio...Camp Perry?, as mentioned it has been around forever and (I believe) were actually started by .gov decades ago to ensure they would have a pool of young men that could shoot. Reminds me I really have to get off my duff and head up there and grab an M-1 | |||

They mail freedom straight to your house.  Jump thru a few hoops and they will ship a M-1 to your home, no FFL required.

I bought a beautiful M1 from them about 20 years ago. Had only been armory fired. But I heard that all the good rifles were gone-- don't know if that is true. In any case, it's always luck of the draw. ______________________________________________________ "You get much farther with a kind word and a gun than with a kind word alone." | |||

I have used the service from the south store and I can tell you shipping to your door is cheaper than the tax there. Ammo is rolled up to your door also,one time I bought 20,000 rounds of 22 lr. I will never shoot it all but it was sooo cheap. | |||

Good people. I bought an M1 Carbine from them years ago. Have never been to their store or facilities though. _____________________________________ Because in the end, you won’t remember the time you spent working in the office or mowing your lawn. Climb that goddamn mountain. Jack Kerouac | |||

Always regret not picking up an M1 Carbine when they were available. I did take full advantage of the Garands and the surplus Greek ammo when they were plentiful. Picked up a couple correct grades and service grades and several spam cans of ammo. Would have gladly purchased a surplus 1911 but there was so much BS around ordering that I decided not to even bother trying for one. --------------------------------------- Life Member NRA “If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to.

Great organization. I bought a M1 Garand, M1 Carbine and a 1903A3 from them! My only regret was not also getting a 1903 before they sold out.

Great org. Bought an M1 Garand from them years ago, delivered right to my door. Also bought some spam cans of surplus 30.06 ammo from them as well.

Rogue has lots of positive experience with them and is a wealth of knowledge. I'm sure he'll be along shortly. Here's some reading for you... https://sigforum.com/eve/forums...880057634#4880057634 | |||

I have bought two M1’s, a M1903, a M1903A3, and a M1 carbine from them. All needed some little TLC but, all perfectly serviceable. Picked up a Criterion barrel along w/ Lc, Danish, and HXP surplus ammo a couple times. Now, I wouldn’t say all the good rifles are gone and someone here mentioned. Go to the north or south store and pick one out. I just received an email from the CMP yesterday that the have service grade M1’s for $650. Brand new Criterion barrel, brand new CMP walnut stocks, and a refinished receiver. Pretty good deal. The days of picking up a decent Garand anywhere including the CMP for under $400 are long over. | |||

They sure think a lot of the 1911's they are getting..... with that said I bought a M1 from them a few years back.... waiting list was a couple of months according to others.... I sent them all the paperwork and payment and mentioned in the letter that it was for my father's 80th birthday which was in three weeks and he is one of the 'Chosen Few'... the rifle arrived the next week.

Years back I handpicked a beautiful M1 @ the North Store. Also gambled on mail order and got an as new M1903A3 and M44US. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Yidn, shreibt un fershreibt" "The Nazis entered this war under the rather childish delusion that they were going to bomb everyone else, and nobody was going to bomb them.

Hey folks, if you got a few days you want to enjoy check out their advanced maintenance class. You spend two-three days building your own M-1 which they walk you thru step by step. Cheapest way to get a high quality M-1 along with the pleasure of doing it yourself. Freedom comes from the will of man. In America it is guaranteed by the 2nd Amendment | |||

I thought that in order to purchase from them you had to belong to a club that was affiliated with the CMP is that still the case? I'd love to pick up a couple of rifles [B] Against ALL enemies, foreign and DOMESTIC | |||

Glorious SPAM! |
Yes that is still the case. The easiest way to check this box is to join The Garand Collectors Association. It counts as an affiliated club and they share your membership info with the CMP making this requirement very easy. And you get a high quality quarterly magazine with awesome pics and good articles. https://thegca.org/product/gca-membership-2/ | |||
