The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is proud to present a never-before-seen opportunity to own an extremely rare set of three M1C sniper rifles with sequential serial numbers! Beginning March 17, place your bids on the CMP Auction site for your chance to bring home these incredible relics.
These legendary rifles, produced between December 1944 and January 1945, represent a critical evolution in military marksmanship. The M1C, officially adopted in 1944, was the first semi-automatic sniper rifle used by the U.S. military, built for precision and reliability in combat. With a specially designed side-mounted scope system and robust engineering, this rifle became a trusted tool for American snipers in World War II and beyond.

- Historic Significance – The M1C was a game-changer in battlefield precision, an elite variation of the legendary M1 Garand.
- Ultra-Rare Serial Sequence – Finding even one M1C in such excellent condition is extraordinary—this set features three in a row!
