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
 
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.

“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.

USA's Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP).

If I remember correctly, they've had good prices for A LOT of usable surplus rifles for the last several decades.
I thought they only sold to US citizens, and with a limit of 1 gun -- although I'm probably wrong about that.

The federal law enacted in 1996 (Title 36 U. S. Code, 40701-40733) that created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS, the formal legal name of the CMP) mandates these key “functions for the corporation:

1. To instruct citizens of the United States in marksmanship;
2. To promote practice and safety in the use of firearms;
3. To conduct competitions in the use of firearms and to award trophies, prizes, badges, and other insignia to competitors;
4. To secure and account for firearms, ammunition, and other equipment for which the corporation is responsible;
5. To issue, loan, or sell firearms, ammunition, repair parts, and other supplies under sections and of this title; and
6. To procure necessary supplies and services to carry out the Program.

The law specifically states: In carrying out the Civilian Marksmanship Program, the corporation shall give priority to activities that benefit firearms safety, training, and competition for youth and that reach as many youth participants as possible.

US citizen, and you had to have a reason to buy a CMP rifle. But simple membership in the Garand collectors club was enough of a reason.

Additionally there used to be no limit on firearm orders, but in the more recent years they limited it to 10 rifles maximum. I can't remember offhand if that was per order window period or per lifetime.
 
Always interesting news out of CMP. Their replacement wood is not black walnut but something called hackberry. T for Trials obvoiusly.CMP new production T4 receiver 2025.JPG
 
Australia (Lithgow Government Arms Factory) made about 8 thousand for Century Arms in the USA about 25 years ago but they were too expensive back when then you could still buy a VGC original for about $250 so they stopped making them. Occasionally they come up for sale in the USA at auctions like this one.

Here is another one, apparently Springfield Armoury was also selling them too, and they had the maker only visible when you removed the stock.

Production stopped in 2001 and back then they were selling for slightly over $1000.

Some say that between 10,000 to 15,000 made in total.

Nick@vulcan had a whole pile of hackberry garand wood the last time I visited a few years ago. He had some pics posted on his site of finished stocks (I’ve posted em before, can’t remember the thread though)
