CMP reportedly to receive 86,000 M1 Garands from Philipines

[MILSURP Collector]

from a forum post over 10 years ago....

Philippines are a hot humid climate. Hopefully they were stored properly. Look to the CMP forums for any leaked info of their condition when they were inspected.

Probably a 12-18 month supply since now the well is dry. Many will buy 8 at a time while they are available.

No those are the mythical Korean Garands. These were MAP and CMP eligible.

My bad, you right.

Oldtimers disease flaring up.

Wonder if they have any PI manufactured teak stocks? Some of those Greek stocks were....um...interesting.

Wonder if these will forever be called PI returns.

I am a bit confused how to go about purchasing from the CMP. I've read about it and it seems pretty simple, but how to prove I am affiliated with a marksmanship program confuses me. Is my GWCL or NRA memberships not enough? If someone can straighten me out I would appreciate it.

MRH, Last I checked, you had to prove that you were a member of an approved shooting club. GSSF counts, if you happen to need membership to a cheap shooting club.

When I did it, I joined the GSSA (think that was the name). Then sent a copy of my membership card along with sworn affidavit of citizenship (notarized), copy of DD214, and filled out application. Snail mail only.

Then the milsurps started arriving.

Hopefully they will not be considered P U returns.
