Opportunities to Buy

CMP offers many opportunities to buy – and service – vintage rifles, including direct sales, auctions and custom gunsmithing. 

If you are looking to completely outfit a custom M1 Garand, we have resources for you, as well!

The federal law that established the new CMP authorizes the Corporation to sell surplus .30 and.22 caliber military rifles, parts and ammunition to qualified U.S. citizens “for marksmanship”. Accordingly, the CMP sells government-surplus M1 Garands, .22 caliber target rifles and small quantities of other rifles to qualified purchasers.

Order Limits

Effective January 7, 2025, customers are allowed to purchase up to twelve (12) surplus rifles (any type) per year. This limit excludes .22 rifles. 

Surplus Ammo Limit: 2,000 rounds per caliber per year.
Commercial Ammo Limit: None 

Please note: The CMP strictly enforces the limits referenced above. The CMP, at it’s discretion, reserves the right to ban from all future sales any attempts made by customers to circumvent these limits.
