CMP Rifle Stores to Open June 4th By Appointment Only

May 21, 2020

Civilian Marksmanship Program▸The First Shot▸CMP Rifle Stores to Open June 4th By Appointment Only

By Steve Cooper, CMP Training & Education Manager

Update 08/11/20 – The CMP South store is open for walk-ins (no appointment needed). The CMP North Store is open by appointment only. Please call (419) 635-2111 to schedule your appointment.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program’s North and South rifle stores will open June 4 by limited-visitation appointments. On Tuesday, May 26th, rifle buyers can begin scheduling appointments to shop at either the Ohio and or the Alabama store. In compliance with government COVID-19 restrictions, the CMP will be controlling the number of customers in each store.

Those wanting to make shopping appointments will need to call the CMP’s national hotline for store reservations at 419-635-2111. Operators will be available to make appointments at the CMP North store between 8 a.m. and 4:30 p.m. EDT, and at the CMP South store between 7 a.m. and 3:30 p.m. CDT. 

The new CMP North Store located in Building 3 (next to CMP Headquarters and the Post Exchange) will welcome customers by appointment only starting on June 4th.

Both stores will be open on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays.  Appointment hours will be 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. in the relevant time zone. 

If appointments are not filled, the CMP may allow a limited number of walk-ins, who will be assigned a number and will be called from their cars when time allows. The only guaranteed visits will be those reserved by appointment

Each shopper MUST complete sales application paperwork IN ADVANCE.  Here is the sales link: https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/ordering-information.  
If you do not have access to the internet, please request that paperwork be mailed to you when you make your appointment.  

Rifle buyers will be allowed 30 minutes in the store to make their selections. Once the rifle is selected and order is submitted, the customer will exit the store and remain in his/her car until called for rifle pickup and payment.

Each shopper MUST complete sales application paperwork IN ADVANCE before their appointment at the CMP Stores.

If you are not able to make your appointment, please do other shoppers the courtesy of calling and cancelling your appointment. Only eligible shoppers will be admitted. Each person admitted to the store must have an appointment. You will be asked to remain in your vehicle until your appointment time. 

Customers will be required to wear a mask and will be issued rubber gloves which must be worn while in the store.  

The CMP North Store has a new location – make an appointment to browse our selection of rifles, merchandise and memorabilia.

New CMP North Store Location

The new CMP North rifle store has been relocated from the Bldg. 2500 warehouse to the CMP Programs HQ at Building 3 (the V-shaped office building with twin white rockets in front).  The new rifle store is truly a retail store with multiple rifle racks, merchandise displays and plenty of counter space.  It is located next to the PX and south of the National Matches Welcome Center.

CMP Rifle Sales Now Open at Talladega Marksmanship Park

Talladega, AL – In addition to the recent announcement of rifle sales resuming at CMP stores in Anniston, Alabama and Camp Perry, Ohio, the CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park Pro Shop will also have rifles for sale during park hours. Customers will have limited access controlled by park management (no call-ahead appointments).

All park rules, social distancing rules, capacity limits, and shopping time limits will apply.

    Is the North Store going to open again, or is it going to be only for people shooting in matches at Perry? If it is going to open, any idea when? Thanks!

      At this time, the CMP North Store will remain closed. We will announce a re-opening date 2 weeks prior to opening once that date has been set. Our staff is still working on the backlog of orders.

    What are the hours at Talladega in this very strange COVID world? Any restrictions or appointments necessary? While I’m waiting for CMP to process the order for my first M1 Garand, I thought I would drive down there and get a 2nd (or is it a 1st??).

    Thank you.

          The 2020 National Matches were cancelled. I believe an email may have been sent out accidentally as our staff process the registration list and begin to issue refunds.

      We are trying to limit the store to less then 10 at a time. Our store is a new layout to us so we are learning along with the rest of the world on what will work and not work. If we have to decrease that number we will. (but hoping for normalcy soon)
