CIVILIAN MARKSMANSHIP PROGRAM www.TheCMP.org CELEBRATING 114 YEARS OF MARKSMANSHIP 3 CMP SURPLUS RIFLES Remembering American Sacrifices for Freedom and Country John Garand’s rifle was the single most significant small arms development in the history of modern warfare. No other rifle in this nation’s history so outclassed that of its adversaries. The accuracy, reliability, ruggedness and most of all, firepower, could not be matched by any of the Axis M1 Garand powers during WWII. It performed with distinction during U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30 WWII, Korea and the early days in Vietnam. In the past ten years, the M1 Garand, regardless of condition, has also become a very hot collectors’ item and sound financial investment, as evidenced by the steady growth of the Garand Collectors Association to over 15,000 members in just the past few years. The popularity of the M1 Garand continues to grow as hundreds of new Garand “Fun” Matches are being held all across the USA each year. Over the past 65 years, most M1 rifles have been arsenal rebuilt, refinished, rebarreled or repaired at least once and often several times. Most will show signs of service (often considerable) and replacement of various parts. They are seldom encountered with all original parts and original finish as delivered from the manufacturer. Such “original” rifles, even in well-used condition, are highly prized by collectors. Each M1 Garand rifle sold by CMP is an authentic U.S. Government rifle that has been inspected, headspaced, repaired if necessary and test fired for function. Each rifle is shipped with safety manual, eight-round clip and chamber safety flag. Selection only guarantees the receiver was produced by the manufacturer listed. All other parts may have been produced by other manufacturers. Orders are filled on a first-come first serve basis. Rifles of all grades are packed for shipment purely by “luck of the draw”. RIFLES DO NOT HAVE IMPORT MARKS. M1 GARAND SERVICE GRADE: GOOD TO VERY GOOD CONDITION. Service Grade Rifles show less wear and better appearance than Field or Rack Grades. Rifle wear will be exhibited by worn and mixed colors of the parkerized finish.
