Envision the CMP's role and purpose. Examine their duties, infrastructure, and schedule.
What do you envision? How do you see them working "better." Selling hundreds of garands to 1 old fat guy doesn't do it for me . |

They are working with weapons that feel that same way. This chemistry is what turns out good rifles year over year. LEAVE THE CMP ALONE.

Selling hundreds of garands to 1 old fat guy doesn't do it for me . Their role and purpose is to raise money to fund/support the shooting sports. They raise that money by selling off Garands, Carbines, 1903s, ammo, etc. Whether they sell everything to 1 person or 1,000,000 makes no difference in the long run in their eyes and that's fine. They're not there to be a source of cheap guns/ammo for each snowflake out there. |

-A "CMP East"site in the PA/Virginia area.
-Actually having rack and service grade M1s in stock whenever people want them. Their recent e-mail that limits people to 8 rifles a year baffle me as the only thing I see is super high priced models. -Congress backing them and getting more surplus rifles/pistols from overseas shipped back would be swell as well. |
| Longtime CMP fan here, been one since the 1990s. Gotta say, they really need only to open a CMP training facility in Texas. Teach school kids gun safety, marksmanship and offer, courses for adults on home safety/defense, CHL, and other civilian oriented firearms topics. Oh, and selling M1911s, M14NMs and more M1 Carbines as well as M1 Garands. |

| These threads are usually started by people that don't understand what the purpose of the CMP actually is. They have long stated that they would like to be out of the gun selling business. They just do so to get the cash to invest for the future of the program. They do not wish to limit it to the point that they are selling rifles forever. If they were concerned with collectors, they wouldn't be auctioning the more valuable rifles off. They want to strike a balance of moving rifles quickly and making the best profit doing so. Also, they have stated many times that the number of those buying multiple rifles is very small when compared to total rifle sales. |

They just issued limit of eight per year. Good. Should be one. Agreed, 1 per year should be the limit. Too low. We need as many of the M1s getting into private hands as possible. If there had been a one per year limit the past 10 years, it would leave hundreds of thousand of rifles at risk of future gun haters. Heck, even "conservative" John McCain has tried to insert language into the 2017 defense appropriations bill mandating the destruction of remaining US service rifles, rather than going to the CMP. |

So you want the CMP to be the NRA? No, I don't want more junk mail from a volunteer organization. The CMP is setup fron CONGRESS and has a natural borne legitimacy that is somewhat sheltered from political bias. It has the ability to be huge and be an intrinsic part of every american''s upbringing . |

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is a national organization dedicated to training and educating U. S. citizens in responsible uses of firearms and airguns through gun safety training, marksmanship training and competitions. The CMP is a federally chartered 501(c)(3) corporation that places its highest priority on serving youth through gun safety and marksmanship activities that encourage personal growth and build life skills. Links on this page will lead you to more detailed information about the CMP and its programs.
Statutory mission. The federal law enacted in 1996 (Title 36 U. S. Code, 40701-40733) that created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS, the formal legal name of the CMP) mandates these key “functions for the corporation: To instruct citizens of the United States in marksmanship; To promote practice and safety in the use of firearms; To conduct competitions in the use of firearms and to award trophies, prizes, badges, and other insignia to competitors. You have to seek it out, you will never have the CMP or the NRA in the classroom as you envision; just the way it is, too much demonization. |

I've wanted them to be active in fulfilling their purpose for a while. I'm sure the relative inactivity boils down to money, though. |

Whassa matta, you don't qualify to buy one? Whiny shit. |

Selling hundreds of garands to 1 old fat guy doesn't do it for me . Hey... you should come to CMP Talladega sometime. 500 acres of shooting sports and electronic targets on the rifle & pistol ranges. First class facility for rifle, pistol & shotgun. Paid for in cash with the proceeds of the rifle sales. They had this HUGE (as opposed to YUGE) shotgun match this past weekend. It's candyland! Their target demographic is women and kids. That's the growth market. If you have a great idea of how to facilitate outreach, drop me a PM. I'll hook you up with their leadership. -K9 P.S. I'm pretty darned sure the CMP is ready to be finished with rifle sales.

http://thecmp.org/competitions/ If there aren't any locally, join a club and work to get a CMP sanctioned match started there. They can't do everything by themselves, but they CAN help willing and motivated clubs host their own events. |

An artificially imposed limit on supply drives prices higher, not lower. You limit guys are missing the point that it is not the total supply that is the problem, but that the opportunity window can be closed at any time. I do not care if some guys are buying 12 a year (the previous limit). These rifles do no one a bit of good getting fed through Capt. Crunch in Anniston. Think it cannot happen? Let one of the CMP carbines or Garands get used in some elementary school massacre, and it will be bye bye CMP firearms sales. The GOP RINO's in congress would roll over in a heart beat. Crap, if RINO traitor John McCain had his way, they would already be getting chopped up.
