CMP Rifle Stores to Open June 4th By Appointment Only
May 21, 2020
By Steve Cooper, CMP Training & Education Manager
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.
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.
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.
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.
My mail-in order was placed on March 18th, before the shutdown. Will I need to replace my order once stores re-open?
We started processing orders again when we returned back to work on May 14th. Once your order is inputted into our sales system, you will receive an email or you can check with our Customer Service Department at [email protected].

Charles,
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.
Thanks,
Christine

he opening on Thursday,can I buy more than one or the 2020 purchase of 8 Thank you!
You can buy 8 M1s, 1 1903, 1 1903A3, 1 Krag and 1 1917.
May I purchase a 1903-A3 by mail?
Mr. Ward,
We do not accept mail orders for the 1903-A3 due to the very small inventory. That is why we have them listed on our Auction site and sometimes available in our stores.
Thank you,
Christine
How many customers will be allowed in an appointment time slot….or how many customers at any one time will be allowed in the stores?
Thank you!
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)
