CMP Acquires Surplus Ammunition, with Plans of Sales in Coming Months

February 10, 2023

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Acquires Surplus Ammunition, with Plans of Sales in Coming Months

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of .30 carbine, .22 pistol, M2 ball, and .22 Long Rifle surplus ammunition supply that will soon become available to CMP customers. Currently, the items are in the cataloging and assessment stage by staff members.

CMP recently received significant quantities of surplus ammunition.

“The CMP plans to make the ammunition available to our loyal constituents sometime this spring, after the surplus ammo goes through all CMP in-processing procedures,” said Mark Johnson, CMP’s Chief Operating Officer and Director of Civilian Marksmanship. “Purchase limits and restrictions will be set to ensure that the mission of CMP is well served.”

The CMP intends on maintaining a surplus ammo inventory large enough to support CMP Matches for the next several years and to provide discounted surplus ammo to competitors attending CMP events. All sales will include set limits to remain in compliance with guidelines specified in the Memorandum of Agreement between the Department of the Army and the CMP. 

Further surplus sales details will be forthcoming in the near future. Commercial ammunition sales are currently available on the CMP E-Store to qualified individuals. Register for an account or browse the CMP E-Store at https://estore.thecmp.org.

    “The CMP intends on maintaining a surplus ammo inventory large enough to support CMP Matches for the next several years and to provide discounted surplus ammo to competitors attending CMP events.”

    It doesn’t say anything about offering via internet sales, seems to be for matches and for in person sales, makes no mention of the Estore.

      The items are in the cataloging and assessment stage by staff members at this time. The CMP plans to make the ammunition available to our loyal constituents sometime this spring, after the surplus ammo goes through all CMP in-processing procedures.

        This is awesome. I hope to get some ammo for my two M1s. I had to find some on Gun Broker and it was not only challenging but costly. Any idea of what the price will be?

        Christine,
        Does CMP test fire some from each Lot number. Can you confirm this is surplus from overseas
        or is it from US Army supply stores, or a combination of the 2 sources?
