CMP to build new m1 Garands

[can14]

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 Dont Care About You]

I know someone who has several hundred stripped M1 receivers. Maybe he should try and sell those to CMP?

New receivers would need to be castings. Nobody is building forged receivers like the originalsbecause it's too costly.

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

How is Taiwan American?

 

[can14]

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.

They are only going to make 3006 to begin with

Any timeline for when these will be available for purchase?

“Our partner, Heritage Arms, expects to begin delivery of production receivers in mid December 2025. Fulfillment of regular production orders is projected to begin in January 2026, starting with serial number 1001.”

Straight from the CMP website, also the order form includes both 30-06 and 308 for the first batch. My guess is it’ll likely be at least a few months after the US release before we see them up here.
