CMP is running out of m1 Garand rifles , receivers,parts and will be building new receivers etc this year
They plan on building new guns to sell
They are rebuilding welded parade rifle receivers to build into guns also
Good part is , maybe they will get new Garand parts made by Wayne Machine in Taiwan, they used to
make m14 parts for the Taiwan military and now do it for commercial sales
Check out CMP on the net

Spoke with a shooter/ dealer about the CMP m1 rifles
They are going to make complete guns, receiver, barrels, op rods and all parts/wood
He saw the new samples, thought they were nice
 
I mentioned the Italian receivers
Not in the plan, have to be all American to be CMP
The receiver is supposedly casting’s because of costs
 
Wayne Machining is based in Taiwan and makes m14 rifle parts and some M1 Garand parts
Receivers, Barrels, would have to be made in America to qualify as US made for
CMP purposes
 
CMP would certainly know what the demand is for the rifles. They would know what original parts are currently available.
The commercial Springfield M-1A rifles were built using receivers cast in Quebec, so using a cast receiver is certainly a possibility. There have been other attempts to make new M-1 receivers, some more successful than others, some of questionable quality.
The M-1 incorporates a lot of old design technology and was mass produced by major industrial programs. Producing a quality rifle which can be sold at an acceptable price on a much smaller scale is going to be a challenge.
 
This is really good news, I have been lusting after a M1 in 308 but holding back because of the cultish learning curve about potential problems.

New equipment is such a nice feeling with that vintage aura.
