A thread yesterday got me fired up about the CMP. I've visited their Ohio location and the people/staff were fantastic. I was able to hand select a gorgeous M1 Garand for only $900 at the time, out of racks of various condition Garands. I've also had some mailed to me, and been overall impressed with their quality. At the time, they were around $600, and IMO worth several times that given their history and design quality and utility.
It's a great organization that provides an incredible service. Here's a video about the CMP in Alabama, and also ~86,000 M1 Garands from the Philippines the CMP just received. It's an exciting time with all these new M1s being cleaned and restored and sold. Now is a great time to add one to your collection. CMP pays for the repatriation of these guns, and programs, and ranges, and such in part thru firearms sales and proceeds. The CMP rep talks about the millions of dollars spent in inventorying, cleaning, inspecting, and returning the rifles home. At the 9 min mark they are unboxing 86,000 M1 Garands... pretty dang cool. https://www.facebook.com/21360083532293 ... 237736841/ Here's an example of a $600 one I had shipped to me and I was incredibly happy when unboxing it. Another picture of a different Garand shipped to me, shooting it. You can see the casing photographed in the air! Another picture of a different time, at the CMP, hand picking a Garand. Cool experience. You do not have the required permissions to view the files attached to this post. _________________ I defend the 2A. US Army Combat Veteran and Paratrooper: OIF Veteran.

As a Washington State resident, can I drive to a CMP facility, e.g. CMF North or South, and pickup a Garand, after background check and payment of course.
Or do I need to have it mailed to a FFL in WA state? |
