U.S.A. -(AmmoLand.com)- The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is pleased to announce the recent acquisition of .30 carbine, .22 pistol, M2 ball, and .22 Long Rifle surplus ammunition supply that will soon become available to CMP customers. Currently, the items are in the cataloging and assessment stage by staff members.
“The CMP plans to make the ammunition available to our loyal constituents sometime this spring, after the surplus ammo goes through all CMP in-processing procedures,” said Mark Johnson, CMP’s Chief Operating Officer and Director of Civilian Marksmanship. “Purchase limits and restrictions will be set to ensure that the mission of CMP is well served.”
The CMP intends to maintain a surplus ammo inventory large enough to support CMP Matches for the next several years and to provide discounted surplus ammo to competitors attending CMP events. All sales will include set limits to remain in compliance with guidelines specified in the Memorandum of Agreement between the Department of the Army and the CMP.
Further surplus sales details will be forthcoming in the near future. Commercial ammunition sales are currently available on the CMP E-Store to qualified individuals. Register for an account or browse the CMP E-Store at https://estore.thecmp.org.

So does the CMP make you jump through the same stupid hoops to buy ammo as they do with guns?
Sooo, we can safely assume that the M2 ball (.30-06) ammo will be swept up by the members or chosen close friends of the CMP, giving other Garand owners/shooters little to zero chance of getting a great deal on ammo ?
In other words don’t get my hopes up…….
Just as a point of interest, the photo attached to this article shows .556 ammo, which is not any of the ammo being offered. It’s a nice pic, though.
Yep! The CMP division is HOARDING AMMUNITION that the American Citizens PAID FOR! WHY does this governmentally recognized organization get to RESTRICT Ammo that I as an individual American HELPED to BUY? Next comment; Why should I pay $1,500.00 dollars for an EX-military arm from the 1940 -1960s when I can go out and purchase a NEW AR-15 for about $500.00? Bring the cost down to a reasonable price. OH YES! I as a LEGAL LAW ABIDING AMERICAN CITIZEN should NOT be FORCED to JOIN a “shooting club” just to purchase an OLD RIFLE!!!!!
Unbelievable process just for this !!! plus Cheaper to buy elsewhere!!!!! why even offer this !!????
