Since the CMP order process was fresh in my mind I immediately printed a new order form, this time for CMP M1 Garands, one in Field grade, the other in Service grade. Live and learn right? How long did it take to get the M1 Garand from CMP? My dreams of snagging an M1 Carbine in that batch were shattered and my order had likely not even made it from the postman’s Jeep to the local Post Office. So, I scrambled and dug around the internet to figure out their order process, filled out the CMP order form, found a Notary to make the paperwork official, attached my C&R FFL paperwork and put an order for one Field grade M1 Carbine and one Service grade M1 Carbine in the mail in time for the postman to pick it up the morning of February 1, 2016.Ībout an hour and a half later I saw a post on the CMP facebook page that the mail was delivered and they had WAY more envelopes with orders than they had M1 Carbines. They had been selling the occasional M1 Carbine via the CMP auction site, but the prices typically go a good bit higher than the standard pricing on the rifle sale page. Via various forums and social media I had seen notice that the CMP would release a “small batch” of M1 Carbine rifles for sale via the standard order process. This was my first order from the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
