There are several requirements to order but the really nice thing is they mail to your door, no FFL. With shipping it totaled $1149. They have ammo as well but i dont know about surplus ammo, isnt it corrosive?
The ammo from CMP is non-corrosive. Nothing wrong with it. It is the best deal you will find for your rifles. Because of different burn rates, sporting ammo, (as in the stuff you buy at the store), can cause great damage to a Garand. Either use GI ammo or install an adjustable gas plug/valve.

CMP is swamped right now so your order will take some time. In the end, it will be well worth it! Enjoy! :thumbs2:

But, of course, the M1 Carbines are no longer $20 each (try $420 up through $675 depending on quality). However, one remaining cool aspect of it is that you can get them to FedEx your purchased rifle(s) straight to your door without going through an FFL.

Which made me think of this question:

Does anyone know if we Texans can order from there and have the rifles delivered to us here in Texas, or would that be against Texas State Law?

Personally, I'd like to get a M1 Garand from there.
Texas has no problem with it! I've had one Garand and two Carbines delivered. I have another Garand on order. They are swamped with orders right now, so your rifle will take some time. The wait will be well worth it! :thumbs2:

Re: Remember the NRA's $20 M1 Carbines?

That is a beautiful carbine! They are a ball to shoot. :thumbs2: I have two, Winchester and Inland. Both from '44. Genuine pieces of history.

Of the ten, (I think), companies that made carbines, only one, (Winchester), was a gun maker! The others made everything from juke boxes to typewriters. Inland Div. of General Motors made more than any other company.
