Not for much longer, CMP is running out of everything. Never in my life did I think they would run out. The cmp used to be a great secret amongst shooters. Now its slim pickings.
@@BattlefieldCurator I was at Camp Perry a few months ago just to look around , I live close, but I bought my last Garand in Jan of this year. If you follow the CMP forums they do a good job of announcing what kind of stock they have. But for those that don't live next to one of the stores like me the only thing available for mail order are field grades, and for just 650 they are still an amazing value.
@@thetr00per30 alright, yea I haven’t checked the forums in a while, last I read the South Store was still closed but the Talladega store inside the marksmanship park was still open. I’m thinking of going one of these weekends.
This is great advice man! I’m going to look into this for sure. I’m about to take my Enhanced Concealed Carry course in Tennessee to obtain my CC permit. I live in Chattanooga, TN about two hours from Anniston, AL! I know my grandfather definitely shot one of these when he was in the Army in WWII. I also know my great uncle carried an M-1 in the Korean War as an infantry sergeant (he also carried a bazooka) I would love to have one of these and feel the nostalgia of what Patton once called “The greatest battle implement ever devised.”
Awesome! I didn't know Chattanooga was so close to Anniston. I recently saw a Facebook post in the CMP M1 Garand and M1 Carbines collector group that showed the Talladega Marksmanship Park had quite a few racks full with M1 Garands.
Thanks for the great video! The first RUclips search result on how the whole CMP process was abysmal and I had to thumb it down which I honestly don't do often. But your video is very informative. I really didn't know how it works. Seeing that they actually have store fronts makes a lot of sense.
It’s so easy these days to order stuff online and I know I was kind of out of my comfort zone the first time I put an order packet in. Even though it’s a more difficult process than just clicking a few buttons on a computer screen, I think it’s worth it
okay so i just found your channel and ive been wanting an m1 since i was a child and now at almost 31 thanks you you ive learned how to more easily get one and i aint to far from port clinton oh
I just bought an expert grade and it was less than two weeks from the time I dropped my paperwork in the mail until my beautiful Garand came by FedEx. I was so surprised it wa that quick.
Awesome I just called the TMP yesterday, I’ll be going this weekend. They couldn’t “tell” if they had inventory but after the call and looking on the TMP forums, it looks promising. What was the inventory like on Wednesday?
I bought mine after a shoot in 1981. Sent the paperwork in a the purchase price of $123. Serial date 1945. Mine came in a box from Anniston Army Depot directly to me. In 1981 at a local gun range I shot at an NRA shoot which provided me the paper that said I completed the shoot. I remember filling out some paperwork and then I went to the local police to fill out an FBI fingerprint card to send to Washington, D.C.
I just subscribed to your channel. Very well informative video. You are also hilarious. Love it. Pretty sure I do qualify in obtaining an M1 Garand since I'm a retired Army veteran. Keep up the good work!
always good to see top YTers go w/ the GARand pronunciation (over gaRAND) ... just bcs the govt got the mans name wrong doesnt mean we also have to especially since theres no confusion as to who/what is meant
no, they come dry but they come with a manual that shows how to grease the parts. Theres also RUclips videos on how to grease the parts, so it would be a good idea to get grease if you plan to get one
Yeah, thanks but at the time you posted this, no rack grades, field grades, or service grades were available, and no .308 rifles as well. Only .30-06 Expert grades at $1000, one of which I bought. A couple months later they went to $1150. I wish I had been smart enough to to grab a Service grade in the decades they were available (one of my dumber moves, but now having a CCW makes the marksmanship activity requirement easy) for as low as $250 in the early ‘90’s, but at least I got an Expert with original SA receiver. As of December 2022 they have some hard used Rack grades at $700, some Rack grade + with new stocks at $850, and SA ($1150) and WRA ($1350) Expert grades only.
@@BattlefieldCurator I’m hoping that someday they come across a stash of rifles that would qualify for the “good to very good” Service Grade category again. I know others can handle it, but I’m not interested in trying to fix up a shot out Rack grade rifle, even though it would be a nice piece of history. I’m pleased with the SA Expert they sent me, which was made in January 1944, so I’d like to think someone carried it 6 months later in France and Germany. If I ever get to Alabama or Ohio, I’m definitely stopping by a CMP store!
Good informational video, but WHY would anyone want to go through all of that just to get an old, slow, heavy antique when we can just go get a modern rifle for less $ and far less hassle?
When I saw “must have shooting competency” something or another I was bummed because I thought I’d have to go out and go do a shooting competition. Turns out just having my CHL was enough and there was no further work required lol
I am 20, I live in PA. I am also enlisting in the US Air Force. Any advice on me getting an M1 Garand under this circumstance. I don't know if it's BS or not. My cousin who went and joined PA Army National Guard said you can get M1 Garands for insanely good prices or for free. I can't remember which one. It's been a month or two since I have actually talked to him. But all I have to do is put my CAC in with paperwork and voila, M1 for a outstanding price. Question is, if I'm on the military, do I get a discount? Also, do I have the ability to travel any state without any legal problems?
Good questions. Definitely not for free, but with your in the military, the military affiliation should make you eligible to meet the requirements. Not sure about age though. Check the CMP website for info. Try and call the CMP or email them directly if you have questions you can’t find the answers for.
@@BattlefieldCurator Actually, it varies by State. I just read that. I live in PA and I'm going to Texas for BMT and Tech school. I am certain that I have to be 18 years old or older. States like Florida and whatnot are requiring 21. I don't know what BS my cousin was spouting about a free M1 Garand Off a website. If that was the case. We probably wouldn't have such a recruiting crisis. But, why does it say though I have to be a Staff Sergeant or better? Like I'm not waiting 3-4 years here. I probably won't even be stateside in 3-4 years. Knowing what's going on. I might be in Germany.
Hey bud if i weere to go threw all this then what? Once its mailed off ,about how long dose it take ot get one back to your local FFL? For mail order of course. And opposed, to going to one of their stores? Is it any faster?
I believe when they state “enhanced” they are referring to specific licenses issued by each state within the last 10 years or so. I didn’t know my drivers license was “enhanced” until I asked them. It’s probably best to call them and find out more details if you have an older license or are unsure.
Do you or anyone know of someone who’s used their C&R license to order one in place for firearms related activity? I’m currently waiting on the ATF to finish up my paperwork for my C&R and I want possibly the M1 Garand to be my first C&R purchase. I know it says on the site you can use your C&R license but I haven’t heard directly from anyone who has used it.
@@poultrygeist-3229 yea I just went to the TMP store in Talladega, they had a lot of Gap Letters, a few Rack IHC’s and some M1C’s. They filled up a bit more than half a rack. The clerk informed me that they had four full racks at the beginning of the month.
@@BattlefieldCurator hopefully after they catch up on the backlog of orders they’ll be able to open up to new orders again, but I feel that we are likely near the end of the M1 supply until another country gives back their loaners.

If you're missing something on the order form or if theirs a question about something will the CMP reach out to you or will they just deny your order? Also when having to ship to an FFL, would I need to show proof of the FFLs federal license (I'm in CT)? I've sent in a couple messages to the CMP and have never gotten responses.
