A source tells me that the CMP program just secured about 7,000 M1 Garands I believe from Italy..... This might be the last large import of firearms to CMP due to new restrictive import laws thanks in part to our wonderful President & State Department. Rumor has it there are a number of previously unissued M1's in the lot. If your looking for a M1 get your paperwork in order and keep your eye on CMP.

Although prices have gone up a lot over the years, CMP is still best deal around.  Remember when the limit was 1 rifle and you had to wait sometimes years for a rifle?

Yes ... Prices have def gone up ... was told there will be a mixture of Rack versions for the $600.00 range all the way up to over $2000.00 for the Unissued M1's... Just good to see another shipment, hell if you go to the website now just about everything is dryer up.

While I would love to own more than one my wallet and safe space tells me otherwise. I have a great example of a service grade rifle. The barrel was not new but came with a tag that claimed the barrel was <1. So I suspect it was between 0.5 and 1.0. The rifle is in very nice shape and is a great shooter! Well worth the money I paid. And I paid less than what the CMP is currently asking and going for on GB. So definitely a good investment IMHO. 

I wish they would get some 1911's in that I read about maybe 6 months ago.....

Or even better some M1 Carbines....

Just dreaming I guess.

Eh, I had considered turning in my permit to acquire since I have reached my collection limit. Do I dare hope for that elusive Winchester???

Hell we can all dream sir! I always hope for much older shit hahaha

Glad to see M1s are still around, to some extent. I love mine, but do wish they'd get those 1911s and definitely M1 carbines.
