Cincinnati, Ohio – Faxon Firearms is proud to announce its participation in the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) Premier Shooting Expo on November 2, 2024, in Talladega, Alabama. The event offers firearms enthusiasts and history buffs the opportunity to explore products from industry leaders, and Faxon Firearms will take center stage by offering attendees the exclusive opportunity to be among the first members of the public to shoot a CMP M1 Garand fitted with a Faxon barrel. Hornady Manufacturing will be providing the ammunition for the M1 Garand shoot.
This landmark showcase is part of Faxon’s commitment to preserving the legacy of the iconic M1 Garand rifle while integrating modern barrel technology for enhanced performance. Attendees will experience first-hand the craftsmanship and precision that Faxon is known for, applied to a platform that is beloved by competitive shooters, collectors, and history enthusiasts alike.
“We are thrilled to be part of the CMP Premier Shooting Expo this year and even more excited to share our work on the M1 Garand barrels,” said Dustin Wallace, Director of Sales & Marketing at Faxon Firearms (whom will be present at the event). “This event is the perfect venue to celebrate the historical significance of the M1 Garand while introducing a new generation of shooters to the capabilities of our modern barrel manufacturing techniques.”
In collaboration with the Civilian Marksmanship Program, Faxon has focused on providing a high-quality barrel solution that meets the exacting standards expected by CMP participants and enthusiasts. Robert Faxon, who leads Faxon Firearms’ M1 Garand barrel project, emphasizes the importance of maintaining the historical accuracy of the rifle while also offering improvements in barrel performance and durability.
“The M1 Garand has a revered place in American military history, and our goal with this project was to enhance the rifle’s performance without compromising its original spirit,” said Robert Faxon, Program Lead for the M1 Garand Barrel Project. “We’ve meticulously engineered these barrels to maintain the integrity of the rifle while providing shooters with a durable, high-performance barrel option that will stand the test of time.” Faxon will also be present at the event.
Faxon Firearms will be on-site at the CMP Premier Shooting Expo with a dedicated team, ready to discuss the M1 Garand project and to display some of their crowd favorite products, including the patented ARAK-21®, FX7 Bolt Action, and prototype 338 ARC AR-15.
