Effective October 1, 2023, the CMP’s new yearly limit on M1 Garands will be 6 per calendar year. Any serial numbered item concerning M1 Garands counts towards your M1 Garand limit per calendar year.

Effective June 26, 2024, customers are allowed to purchase up to six (6) bolt action rifles per year while supplies last. Current inventory of M1903 and M1917 rifles by grade is listed below. CMP also plans to release up to 1,000 Krag-Jorgensen rifles beginning in mid to late July. These have not been worked so a grade break-out is currently unavailable. Given the six (6) bolt rifle per customer per year limit, please plan accordingly. Once this inventory of bolt action rifles is exhausted the CMP does not expect to have further supply. The rifles will be sold via mail order and in CMP stores. Store sales may be limited due to inventory. Additionally, if a customer has already purchased their limit of six (6) bolt action rifles they are authorized to bid on and purchase bolt action rifles for sale on the CMP auction site above the six (6) rifle limit.

The CMP occasionally also conducts other special sales programs as assets become available. Any purchases of M1 Garand functioning rifles, M1 Garand Drill Rifles, M1 Garand Ceremonial Rifles, M1 Garand receivers, from any CMP sales outlet (including the CMP Auction) will count against the M1 Garand limit per calendar year.
