Pretty certain my CMP Harvester from a few years ago was a Turkish Navy return. It came in good condition. Makes me want more

 

[91FXRS]

How do you go about getting one of these?

 

[TJ Kackowski]

How do you go about getting one of these?

The rules for ordering a U.S. rifle, caliber .30, M1 are listed on the CMP website.

 

[Gabriel]

I need to get off my lazy butt and get one of these. One of these days the supply will be all dried up and I'll be SOL wishing I'd gotten one when I could.

Get them before things change and they melt them.

Are the rifles brought back from other countries marked as such or distinguishable from those that were never loaned out to another country?

 

[cmamath13]

Sorry for the naïve question, but do any of the M1 Garand come chambered in 308?

 

[Fordtough25]

Outstanding this is great news!!!!! Bring on the goodness

 

[tacticalmaster45]

Sorry for the naïve question, but do any of the M1 Garand come chambered in 308?

I don't believe that CMP sells 308 Garands but my father converted one of his CMP guns a couple years ago by purchasing a 308 barrel from Gunbroker.

They sell them. I dont think they have any now. Not sure how they get that way. Maybe rebarrelled?

I considered one. I liked the idea of a more commercially available round. But in the end I decided if I was going to buy one of these pieces of history, it would be original.

 

[CallSign Snafu]

This pleases me. I know what I want for Christmas this year!

 

[2in1evtime]

Hopefully i will run across a couple of these to finish off my collection of garands Thank You President Trump for not having these destroyed!!!

 

[Hkindiana]

No, they are usually not marked in any way. Occasionally they will have foreign replacement parts that indicate they were out of the country, but that can be easily rectified.

 

[GodFearinGunTotin]

I'm glad to hear of this news. How many years supply is 99,000 I wonder?

 

[Ricnzak]

One requirement to purchase from the CMP is a membership in certain shooting organizations. I belong to the Garand Collectors Association. It's $25 a year. You get the full color GCA Journal quarterly. Here is a link to their website. Here is some info about the journal you get. (Disclaimer) Other than being a member I don't have any affiliation with the organization.

Couple of things I learned when I purchased from CMP, (I went to the North Store.) 1. The people were extremely helpful. They seem to work there because they have a love for these weapons. 2. It was cheaper to have them overnight the rifle rather than take it with me. If you carry out you have to pay sales tax. I wish I would have grabbed Greek ammo and some 1000 meter targets while I was there. The targets were so large one would have been cool in the shop.

I look forward to acquiring one of these. Thanks President Trump! MAGA!
