Introducing the M1 Garand by CMP: A New Chapter Begins!
May 21, 2025
An Update from CMP Chairman and CEO Jerry O’Keefe
As some of you may have seen on social media, we are about to roll out a new program – the new M1 Garand by CMP. In March we brought two “test” M1 Garands out to Phoenix and the Ben Avery Shooting Facility during the Arizona Game & Fish March Outdoor Expo. We did the same at the recent CMP Eastern Games in NC to begin to introduce this new CMP project and product line. It is in fact a project we’ve been working on for quite some time with our partner and the manufacturer of the receiver – Heritage Arms USA. More about Heritage Arms USA will follow below.
The CMP is excited about this new program, and with thousands of social media views and about 1,000 mostly positive comments, we hope all our customers and competitors will be excited as well.
What is it?
To start with the basics . . . it is a commercial reproduction of the classic and historic rifle with a commercial forged receiver as its centerpiece. The CMP and Heritage Arms used both the original drawings and specifications of a Springfield receiver and, of course, the actual historic receivers themselves to recreate identical, forged replicas of the original. And yes . . . it is, in fact, a forged receiver.
The forged receiver with a CMP serial number in the classic, historical font and format on the receiver heel makes this a unique offering. It will be paired with commercial barrels and a mix of other commercial and GI parts. Most will feature new stocks and barrels, but many complementary parts will remain GI.
Why did CMP undertake this project?
We did this for a variety of reasons:
- The first and most significant reason is the supply of government surplus rifles and pistols will not last forever. Therefore, as an organization that largely resources its many programs and competitions via the sale of these firearms, we need to develop new ways of supplementing the costs associated with our essential and expanding programs. From a timing perspective it also makes business sense to undertake this effort while we still have sufficient on-hand quantities of Government surplus firearms
One solution: taking our decades of expertise in the assembly of the M1 Garand and giving new life to its timeless design for this generation to enjoy as well as for generations to come. This is a shift in our usual activities but an important step in a fresh chapter of the CMP – one that will emphasize innovation for the betterment of marksmanship activities.
It should be underscored again that all our sales feed directly into CMP’s Federally-chartered national mission to promote marksmanship with a focus on youth. A reduction in sales could constrain ventures such as the National Matches, youth programs like the very successful JROTC air rifle series as well as the operation of Talladega Marksmanship Park and its events. It is of the utmost importance that we continue forward through valuable partnerships and through the patronage of our highly regarded supporters. After all, everything we do is for you.
- Next, we wanted to bring a new product to the marketplace that we believe will be a great firearm for a variety of purposes (i.e., shooting, collecting, connecting with our nation’s history). We’ve gathered thousands of hours of feedback from our supporters and are carefully considering possibilities for the future that will be beneficial to collectors and competitors alike. Some have suggested that M16 rifles or other higher capacity Army firearms might be next in the surplus pipeline for transfer to the CMP, but we don’t believe that will happen. Instead, for now, we’ve chosen to stick to our roots with the production of CMP’s new M1 Garand.
It should go without saying that we are excited for the endless possibilities that lie ahead for the CMP and for the opportunities it allows us to sustain a positive impact on marksmanship safety and education. - The third, and somewhat of a bonus, aspect of our new M1 is its rarity in the marketplace. It’s not just a new product — the combination of the forged receiver and the CMP serial number make it an extraordinary and completely unique product. And we do intend to produce it in some interesting variants, which will also be unique. More to follow on that below.
Does this mean the inventory of GI M1 Garands is running out?
Not yet. We have a good supply on-hand, and we are working with the U.S. Government to repatriate others from foreign countries. U.S. M1s are still out there around the world in good numbers, however getting them home is a complex, time-consuming, diplomatic effort, and certainly nothing is guaranteed.
Who is the manufacturer?
Heritage Arms USA. Heritage Arms USA is one of our many partners in Alabama – they are just down the road from the CMP armories and the Talladega Marksmanship Park. While having vast experience in the machining industry, Heritage Arms USA is a relative newcomer to the firearms industry. However, we’ve worked with them on other projects in the past and approached them several years ago about undertaking this project. The CMP is proud to work with local and U.S. businesses for the parts and services to keep our programs and sales going.
Heritage Arms USA is one of these companies. We’ve included some pictures and a short video to give you a look inside the process. The technology is quite extraordinary, but even with modern technology, the degree of difficulty to recreate the dimensions and tolerances of the original model has been time-consuming and honestly, quite challenging. That underscores the need for rigorous testing, which we’ve accomplished. And it certainly inspires even greater respect, and in fact some awe, for the original manufacturers who accomplished this at scale so many years ago.
Will there be variants?
Yes. While the first rifles produced and sold will be .30-06 and .308, we very quickly hope to bring other historically relevant variances to market. These are works in progress.
How will it be sold?
Since it’s a commercial gun, it will of course flow through the normal FFL sales process, much like how we sell our surplus M1911 pistols. In conjunction with this new M1 Garand by CMP, we are simultaneously deploying a new, more modern, streamlined, digital, online order form process. This online form will also provide a pre-order opportunity. Customers can visit https://thecmp.org/m1-pre-order-form/ to place their pre-order. Once we are ready to process the order, customers will receive an email with a link to the eStore to pay for their order.
In addition, since we now have CMP FFLs in our stores at the Talladega Marksmanship Park and Camp Perry, we’ll sell them directly out of those stores as well as mail order. For those of you traveling to Camp Perry for the National Matches this summer, we plan to have some available for sale.
How much will it cost and can I buy more than one?
The price of the .30-06 and .308 models will be $1,900 MSRP plus $40 shipping and handling. Customers will receive a CMP custom fitted hard rifle case with each rifle purchase. Other future variants will have different pricing, as will the early serial numbers. Other than the early serial numbers we’ll keep for posterity, we expect to auction the first 100 numbers. Later, three-digit serial numbers may also have special pricing.
When can I get one?
Soon! Bringing them out to Ben Avery and the Eastern Games to test, demonstrate and make public is a good indication we are confident and close. Operational and functional testing is almost complete. At the conclusion of the “test phase,” we will have subjected 52 “T” serial number rifles to a rigorous testing process, both in our test fire booth and at the Talladega Marksmanship Park. And yes, you might very well also see some of the “T” serial numbered guns on the CMP auction site. We have completed upgrades to one of our Anniston Armory facilities to support production of these rifles and stand ready to move forward. While I can’t share an exact date, I expect we’ll be selling these this Summer. So . . . soon!
What if there is significant demand? How long might I have to wait? Can I buy more than one?
First, we’d love to have this problem, and the answer to the question is dependent on the initial demand. Once we get our pre-order site up and running, we’ll get a better sense of this. While we have a contract with Heritage Arms USA for a certain quantity of receivers, if initial demand is high, we can adjust, and Heritage Arms has manufacturing capacity to produce more/produce faster as necessary. And you can buy one of each variant and/or as many of each as you’d like – since it’s a commercial product, there are no Government limits. Commercial rifles are exempt from the twelve per year limit (the limit applies only to surplus rifles). Obviously if someone or some entity was interested in a purchase that approached a wholesale quantity order, that would be negotiated separately – but that is a possibility as well down the road.
Will it be allowed in competitions?
Yes – anticipating this, we adjusted previous additions of our rule books to account for this. See Rule 5.1.4 M1 Garand-Type Service Rifle in the CMP Highpower Rifle Competition Rules and Rule 5.2.2 As-Issued M1 Garand in the CMP Games Rifle and Pistol Competition Rules.
What ammunition will it shoot?
The CMP’s newly manufactured M1 Garand rifles are built to the original specifications and maintain the same gas system tolerances as the WWII-era designs. As such, they require ammunition that stays within the correct pressure range to avoid excessive stress on the system. Our testing with Lake City (LC) and other M2 Ball spec loads confirms that it operates well within those parameters. These rounds produce the appropriate port pressures to ensure reliable cycling without risking damage to the system, making them a proven and safe choice for sustained use in CMP’s new Garand builds.
Will they be featured in future CMP Advanced Maintenance Classes (AMC)?
Absolutely! Stay tuned for exciting details. This class allows individuals to build their very own M1 Garand Rifle.
Will it “ping?”
Yes, just like the original when the last round is discharged, the enbloc clip will pop out with that historic and distinctive sound.
Will the receiver heel have the ridges seen on the test receivers?
Many of you noted the ridges on the heel of the test receivers. Since they were test receivers, we used them without the final finish. The post-test production receivers will be finished with no ridges.
Questions:
If you have any further questions, please post them here, and we’ll do our best to answer. Thanks, as always, for your support of the CMP. Finally, I hope to see many of you at our upcoming competitions . . . CMP Bianchi Cup, Talladega D-Day Matches and the National Matches.
Curious if you can specify a serial number to match an early M1A I have?
so a duplicate serial number….what could possibly be wrong with that
Duplicate? The serial number would be the same as a completely different rifle type.
OK. You got me there. I have not even considered that, but it is a wonderful idea. I don’t know if that will be possible, but when we get a sales email you can contact them.
Anything that can put M1’s into more shooters hands is OK by me. Thanks, CMP.
Yes!!! Maybe we will soon be able to add even more classic and historical rifles to the list. Carbines and 1903A3s are on the top of my list.
I think the effort to suply new M-1’s to the shooting public is good. There is nothing like the ping of freedom when shooting. For me, I love the smell and feel of my old M-1’s. I like that my rifles have history. Every nick and scuff has a story. It is possible, but only faintly, that my grandfathers carried my Springfields into battle in Europe. For me, it will be the original M-1’s, as long as I can get them from the CMP.
In order for a whole new generation to get the same feeling as you do shooting the vintage M1s it may have to be a new CMPM1. The originals will not be around forever. These rifles will give a new lease on life to the historical Garand.
Next step: CMP 1911?
Who knows? In the mean time you can check the 1911 in person sales link on the 1911 page.
This is great, brand new Mil-Spec guns for those who actually want to shoot them and decreased market pressures on the collectors who like collecting the original guns for their inherent coolness, rather than seeing them as an investment opportunity. The price of $1900 is not out of line for a brand new premium semi auto battle rifle, Check out the prices on Bula M14s, DSA FALs, Daniel Defense and LMT AR 10s as well as the FN SAR and the SIG’s MCX-Spear. I would rather pay $1900 for a quality piece,than$1500 for a gun where the corners had been cut!
Excellent. Now people in my state, The Peoples Republic of Washington (state) can get a brand new full power semi-auto rifle (with the 8 round clip) as M1A’s and AR10’s are forbidden “Assault Rifles”. “Tanker” versions with Scout Rifle type mounts would be especially appropriate for us here behind enemy lines.
As for the price, well I did a quick check of PSA for M1A prices, and $1900 is About in line with the MSRP from Springfield Armory Inc. but kinda high compared to sale prices. But come on guys, the real purpose is to support Youth Development through marksmanship, and the CMP needs at least some revenue from each sale to support that goal.
As for myself, if I add any more M1s to my collection in the near future it will probably be from current surplus offerings, but I’m excited for the future and for my home state.
BS:
The legality of using an AR-10 for hunting in Washington boils down to understanding and complying with the WDFW’s rules. While there isn’t a blanket ban on the AR-10 itself, hunters must be aware of certain restrictions related to caliber, magazine capacity, and where/when they are hunting. Understanding these restrictions is key to a legal and ethical hunt.
Well, maybe if you have a grandfathered AR10, but if you don’t already have one and want to get one they are totally banned for purchase or transfer as an “Assault Rifle”, while M1 Garands are still perfectly legal due to the internal 7+1 (8 round clip fed) magazine.
Will the purchase of the NEW CMP Garrand require all the ‘conditions’ being met as the purchase of the original, military Garrand?
How about focusing on ammunition production and lowering the price of that. I bought a garand about 3 years ago and have basically never been able to shoot it when 30 06 is $1 dollar a round. That is the main and major problem with the industry. Gun prices have come down. No one can afford to shoot them.
This is a good question. It has very little to do with the new rifle but it is something that we are looking into. This is a subject that is really dear to my heart. I need affordable ammo myself.
How about a modern ish gas trap?
Wait, special versions are in the works…….
Where or how did you source all the small parts? Are they newly made or old stock spares?
Both. If GI parts are up to standards that is what will be used if not then we are working on sources for new parts.
Will stripped receivers be offered? Or barreled receivers?
Will the receivers be for sale separately?
Not yet, but we are looking into that.
A wonderful project from a wonderful organization! I have 2 M1’s and one pistol from the CMP and love all three. I would definitely buy a new one and shoot that in order to “rest” the more historic ones. I wish you every success with this.
Thank you. We are also looking at bringing the 1903A3s back to get some bolt guns in the stores. You should also check out the 22 rifles that we are offering.
As I already have 3 M1 Garands from the CMP but missed out on the 1903’s when they were readily available in quantity, I would more likely buy an excellent 1903a3 reproduction without issues of low-seriallied receivers or excessive wear, etc.
This is exciting news. The CMP advises a 172-174 grain limit for .30/06 bullets in surplus Garands. Can we assume that the new recievers can safely handle greater bullet weight?
The same ammo limits are in place for the 30.06 we did not modify the gas system in any way. We are looking into a source for the adjustable gas cylinder lock screw (gas plug).
This is exciting! I have four originals and will definitely be placing a pre-order. Thanks for undertaking this endeavor and I appreciate the time and effort it’s taking. Price sounds more than reasonable.
The CMPM1 is meant to be used and not a “Safe Queen” so you can preserve the original rifles and have a NEW one to use and compete with.
Will you be using gas locks with the hump?
The test rifles in my office (3) have both types.
A great product in my opinion. I will be interested in purchasing one in earnest!
You should get two, 308 and 30.06!
Love the M1’s I already have and will definitely buy the M1 in 308 and would love the the opportunity to buy the tanker with a long eye relief scope. I have an M1 that has an aftermarket picatinny rail and a 2-8 power long eye relief scope. It is wonderful.
Count me in for the 308 and future Tanker.
That was one of the first suggestions that I made. I want that exact setup with maybe even a folding stock. I think that would make a great muti use rifle.
Would parts, receivers/barrels be available for original M1s?
We are looking at trying to make some of the commercial parts available for sale. The fact that we are having to have parts made is limiting our ability to sell parts.
With all the work that went into this why not the M14. There has to be some supply in the system? Or were all shipped to Latvia, Estonia and Ukranian?
We are looking at many different projects.
Are all of the parts on this new CMP Garand new? Or are you utilizing some components from the vintage WW2 Garands?
At this time we will be using both GI and commercial. The CMP has many GI parts and it would be a shame not to use the best ones in this project.
I’d like to see an M-1C or D re-pop
We have discussed the M1D along with several other variants to make these rifles in a more modern flavor.
Well, I agree that the M1 was a formidable weapon for a soldier during WW2 and I am a firm believer in the 30:06 round. For those of us that actually carried this rifle in the military, I haven’t talked to any of my fellow comrades in arms that actually cared for it. If you don’t have a heavily scarred M1 thumb than you probably don’t know where I am coming from. I am over 70 and was very happy to see my M1 G Sniper rifle be replaced by the M14-M21 System. I hated to lose the 30:06 for the 7.62 3:08. I truly believe the M1 Garand would have been better if it was belt or magazine fed. I probably only have a few years at best so at the projected price for the new M1 it is not a weapon that I would want to pass down to my heirs.
I built a wonderful M1 Garand in 8mm. The barrel was machined from a standard 8mm stainless blank and finish chambered. I did this to have a reliable semi in 8mm due to the cheap ammo from europe. I quickly discovered that the only 8mm that worked well was the Romanian surplus. I was also able to reload 8mm with the 150 grain FMJ and American powder like 4895, 4320 and a host of others. The surplus Turk ammo failed to cycle reliably. However at that time the loaded round was cheaper than a virgin bullet. So I pulled the bullets and set the powder aside for a different application. The empty cases were loaded with American powder and the original 150 grain bullets. Worked fine!!!
Yes, I worked as a volunteer in Anniston twice……..lots of fun and great group of people.
?? How about LUGGED receivers.??
What is the accuracy of these rifles?
From our range test today it is very good.
Depends on you – the shooter. Almost any rifle will shoot well enough to win a Match…BUT can the shooter control the rifle well enough for it to perform..??
Will you be using stamped trigger guards or milled? It looks like the stamped variant, but I would love to see the milled version.
We will be using stamped trigger guards.
I would love an M-1 carbine, if it becomes available.q I have a M-1 , but clips are becoming increasingly difficult to find.
The enbloc clips are getting harder to find. With so many rifles on the market. Will you be reproducing the clips as well to fill the demand?
I am excited about this new venture. It keeps with the CMP mission and provides a sustainable product. I saw several comments about others. I would echo the M1 Carbine. I would also like to add another as a long range the Springfield 1903.
Hi, will you make a Swedish round version shooting the 6.5×55 round? I know Criterion made the barrols for that purpose years ago. Thankyou
Please do the same for the M1 Carbine
Yes Please! I would love a 1903 as well!
Excellent. Please do the same for the M1 Carbine so I can have a repro shooter to go along with my CMP 1943 Inland.
Great idea, I would buy one too.
Inland Manufacturing makes an excellent reproduction of the M1 Carbine.
Are the Gas Cylinders New as well?
Will these be offered as a Barreled Receiver only? I’d love to get one of these and build a laminate stocked hunting rifle out of it thats cerakoted so I don’t have to worry about rust.
Eventually we may offer them as incomplete rifles, but that will be later. I agree an option for that would be good. We have also discussed a “Tanker” with a scout type scope or red dot. The number of ideas we have had well exceed our initial production capacity.
I too would really like the barreled receiver option with a pre-head spaced bolt. I don’t need an entire rifle. If I wanted that I would get a service or rack grade when avail. Some of us have enough parts laying around to put one together with if we just had access to a receiver, or in my case a barreled receiver with a head spaced bolt option. I should be able to save money that way. I just want a shooter and to put my extra parts to use.
Or if you had a “build your own with your own parts” class option, that might be interesting. I don’t know if there’s liability issues with that? You might have to have some spare parts avail for sale if peoples aren’t found serviceable. Some like to tinker or build their own. Thx for listening.
That would be pretty cool. One could send it to Gallenson’s to whip up a Post Malone style gun. That thing approaches the capabilities of the XM7 without resorting to insane pressures!
I fully support the requests for the M1 Carbines if they come close to appearing authentic looking!!!
What sight configuration will come with the repro M1s?
T105
I know you can get the price down a little more.
That’s high unless you not making but a very few.
Work on that you will sell more.
The price is something that is hard to control. You have to pay for the receivers, barrels, stocks and every part on the guns. By the time you pay for all the parts, people to build, people to pack, people to sell and ammo to test you have a lot invested in these guns. I will be the first to admit they are not for everyone. But I will also be the first to tell you that GI rifles are getting old. With the age of many Garands hitting 80 or more they are at some point going to wear out. We looked long and hard at different production of the rifles. A cast receiver could be made cheaper, but would it be a Garand or just a poor copy? We hope to sell many of them and for many years. The CMP has a mission to keep up and it is not just about selling rifles. That is my part of the operation but it is not the main goal of the CMP just a way to pay for the things that we do to advance marksmanship.
This actually is a competitive price. The MSRP of a new M1A from Springfield Armory is $1,875, only $25 off the CMP M1 Garand price of $1,900. The 50th Anniversary Commemorative M1A is even more at $2,499.
If I had the financial margin, I would not blink at the price at all. One thing I would suggest, if possible, would be to include a reprint of FM 23-5, Basic Field Manual: U.S. Rifle, Caliber .30, M1. This simply would be a nice touch to accompany such a historic reproduction.
I agree, id definitely buy one or probably more but that price has to come down pretty significantly unless they’re going to be limited editions/production. The world needs affordable options to get not only the younger generation involved in collecting & competition but also for older generations who’ve always admired but couldn’t/can’t afford the priginal limited collector’s prices.
Despite the tap dancing, the price is too high.
It seems that much like their 1911’s they are counting on nostalgia for a “historic” gun to support a price that is far above the market value for a gun that is a shooting gun rather than a collector piece.
Perhaps they are right and there is a market for an overpriced new imitation M1 rifle — certainly some of the comments here suggest that there is at least some market for these rifles. CMP is trying to present them as being “rare” because they come with a CMP serial number, but these have no collector value.
Unless they are exceptionally accurate (which seems unlikely) and you want one for High Power Match shooting, they are grossly overpriced when they are selling several hundred dollars above the price of a new Springfield M1A.
I would love a tanker M1 with a m1A magazine in .308.
Cmp never filled my order for the m1 I ordered in March,will not answer phone calls,or emails why would I trust them with another order?…
William,
Yes, we are very short staffed and working hard to catch up on orders. We are hiring a few new Customer Service Representatives so our emails and phones will be answered in a timely manner. Thank you for your support and patience.
Christine
Took me almost a year to get mine, but trust me, the wait is worth it!
An absolutely wonderful idea you’ve put together. I would love to own a WWII M1 like the one I carried. But, I’m not sure that will happen, so a reproduction M1 would fill the bill just fine.
Going to purchase an M1a which is a reproduction model of the M14. Another rifle I carried.
Good luck!
I believe there is a few in stock at the Ohio and Alabama store, as well through the mail. When I bought my surplus M1 in 2008 it was in near perfect condition. I was very happy with it. It took a few months to arrive in the mail, once I placed the order. That’s interesting you were issued a M1 and a M14. What year were you issued those riffles when you served in the military?
A Springfield 30-06 replica would be awesome as well
Is it, the receiver, of the 8620?
Side question: Where can I accurate blueprints, as if to build; to frame for gift of exquisite artwork for a few I know will appreciate it?
This isn’t in regard to new production M1’s but your drill rifle receivers.
For those that plan to purchase those does that then change NRA High-power rules on use of drill rifles? To my knowledge and understanding that’s grounds for disqualification if caught using a “reactivated” drill receiver. Yet the CMP is planning to reactivate drill receivers and mix them in with other grades unbeknownst to the purchaser.
Yes you can definitely tell one that’s been reactivated, there’s no amount of parkerizing that will cover filler weld.
Absolutely YES.. I’d also like the M1 carbine added to the process..
My 2 cents worth, I am excited about this program. I was fortunate to look at these M1’s at Butner last month and they look great. I am definitely looking to get the .308 version. Also remember that years ago Springfield Armory(M1A Springfield Armory) produced M1’s for awhile and then it faded out.
Would be interesting to see a some versions such as a tanker and the Italian BM59. I am also pro for a carbine as well. Would be great if you could keep the pricing for standard versions between $1,000 to $1,500 and performance models at the $2k range.
Say “YES” !!! To the New Garand 30.06 !!! God Bless America !!!
Yes, and I am going with the .308!!!
I can not get the picture of My Driver’s license nor my passport to less than 2 it is 3.4. How do I size it to meet your request
Virgil,
We have increased the field limit from 2MB to 4MB. Please try loading it again.
Thank you.
Will
I agree their information they’re requesting is intrusive and not necessary.
WONDERFUL NEWS…NOW how about y’all get that company t produce new manufacture clips..!!! They are HARD to find nowadays..!!!
We are currently working of finding a good source for them.
Parkerize all new parts and PLEASE don’t PAINT the gas cylinders or Op rods!.
I was told by a retired Army Major the M-14 and M-16 won’t be offered because they are too easy to convert to full auto
I think its pretty cool and an idea that could take hold and keep the Garand going for future shooters. Its history after all. Its commercially relevant also because of magazine and semi-automatic rifle bans increasing across the country. I just hope that it takes off and the program is a complete success. All the haters and the nay-sayers should keep their traps closed and keep their negativity to themselves. Stay in your hateful little holes and quit bugging the rest of us. I guess you missed the part when your mom said “if you don’t have anything good to say, shut your pie hole.”
I think it is a great idea. I may have a little more invested in the project than some people making comments and asking questions, but the questions and comments help me do my job. I understand the NEW Garand is not for everyone. I also know that the NEW Garand is the only one some people will ever be able to get.
Guess that Wes has never heard of the First Amendment that the soldiers using the original Government issue rifles fought and died for. We are all entitled to an opinion whether or not it coincides with our own.
There is a legitimate concern that flooding the market with new made models will degrade the collector market. Not to mention the possibility of watering down the relevance of such an iconic piece of our military history.
Don’t worry, Matthew. There is no danger of the new imitation M1 rifles degrading the collector value of real M1 rifles that are actually collector items.
It might degrade the sham “collector” value of the random guns that are really only shooter pieces that some sellers try to pass off at inflated prices by pretending they have ‘collector value.’ On the other hand, CMP is one of those sellers passing off shooter pieces at inflated prices and they are doing everything they can to support the sham collector market by grossly overpricing these new imitation M1 rifles.
Neither of those “concerns” are valid. Anyone that wants a collector piece will know the difference between these new ones and the OG ones. If anything it will increase the value of the old ones. And to your second point, the relevance of these true “battle rifles” relevancy in the climate of “assault weapon” bans will only increase. As some people in the thread here have said, Garand rifles whether new or OG are not banned anywhere, so even more people will be able to buy a a true tested weapon of war.
Is a M1 Carbine a possibility in the future?
Please offer the M1 Carbine, I believe it would outsell the Garand.
Considering there are already companies that make repro carbines… probably not. GI ones are still available, seen 2 go for under 1k recently. I didn’t need them or id of been tempted to pick them up myself.
I second this motion!
Making one in 270 would be easy.
Will these rifles ever be offered in other calibers than 30-06 and 308?
I agree the M1 Carbine should be offered ASAP. I too believe it would outsell the Garand. Many women/seniors would be able to handle a carbine a lot easier than the Garand.
.260 Remington please!
