How To Purchase A CMP M1 Garand

The best firearms bargain currently available are the M1 Garand rifles available through the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP). These M-1 rifles are authentic U.S. military surplus rifles turned over from the government to the CMP for eventual distribution to qualified U.S. citizens.

One of the best things about buying a rifle from the CMP is that it is shipped right to your door! Unlike all other interstate firearms sales, ed the CMP is allowed to ship rifles directly to the purchaser after the NICS background check has been completed.

The CMP was chartered by Congress as a private entity in 1996 to replace the old Director of Civilian Marksmanship (DCM) program that had previously been operated by the U.S. government. This program had been in existence since the early 20th Century.-[source]
