CMP to get 86,000 M1 from PI

[TheJoker]

Korea still something like 250K of both carbines and garands, there out there.....just need to get the "we don't them back" removed from the lend/lease program

The rifles and carbines sold through the CMP are Military Assistance Program returns. However, South Korea insists that they bought the rifles and their wish is to sell them to importer/distributers like C.A.I. So even if the import ban is relaxed and these rifles/carbines do make it into the U.S., they are not MAP returns and will not be sold through the CMP. The rifles will be import stamped as are any other imported firearms.

The PI rifles, on the other hand, are MAP returns.

The CMP is a great program but they seem to be fuzzy on details alot of the time. Still worth the wait though I suppose

Anyone know more about the CMP's acquisition of the m1 garands from the Philippines? Did a quick google search over the last year and didn't pull any relevant info up.

This ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

I'm also interested in what kind of condition they are in.

Shot show 2018 update had some good news. Skip to about the 1:20 mark if you want to bypass the no info about the 1911s

Apparently, like last time the MAP returns from Turkey, which were in the works just prior to the PI rifles arriving in Anniston, have large numbers of International Harvester M1s.

In case anyone is interested in getting an Indiana made M1, International Harvester Service Grade M1s are up for mail order sales again.

looks like the IHCs are $1060.
Thanks TheJoker.... you have given me bad ideas... I just may need one... then that will mean I have to get the Winchester as well... So you are going to cost me some money if I go down this rabbit hole.

If it is any consolation, you won't be alone in the rabbit hole. I wouldn't wait too long. The last mail order IHC release didn't last very long.

I doubt if there are very many IHC or HRA in the PI lot. I'd guess those are mostly WWII manufactured by Springfield Armory and Winchester. It is my understanding that the lions share of the IHC rifles went to the middle east.

I agree where are the 1911's

January 29, 2018 -
The CMP has been authorized to receive 8,000 1911 type pistols from the United States Army.
The 1911s have been received by the CMP. A complete inventory will be conducted over the course of this week. The pistols will then be securely stored until the Army-approved 1911 building and armory infrastructure is completed. That completion is anticipated to be approximately 60 days from now. Once the 1911 armory is completed, inspection, grading, repair, and ultimately test firing of the pistols will begin. (Please be aware that the CMP was led to believe that we were ready to move forward, but three weeks ago facility requirements were changed, and we are now fulfilling those requirements.)

The CMP 1911 order packet will be posted 90 days prior to the order acceptance date and opening sales date. No orders will be accepted prior to that date. Please visit www.thecmp.org, click on the Sales icon then 1911 Information, for the latest. CMP customer service has been inundated with calls and emails concerning the 1911s and no further information is available at this time.
