RodinAZ Report post Posted August 2, 2023 Up for sale is a rifle I picked up from CMP several years ago. I've put about 40 rds. thru it and it functioned flawlessly. It will come with about 250 rds. of ammo, approx 200 factory ball ammo and then some quality hand loads that run great. Also comes with a quality leather military sling. I can send more pics as needed via text. $1300 OBO picked up in S. Chandler Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
eddielasvegas Report post Posted August 2, 2023 What is its CMP grade? Also, can you post a few pix (each side) from a distance so the rifle can be seen butt to muzzle? Thanks, Eddie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveInMesa Report post Posted August 2, 2023 CMP is the Civilian Marksmanship Program. If you competed in High Power matches you could pick up an M1 from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CMP graded the quality of the rifles and that determined their value they were sold at. RACK GRADE: (FAIR) EXPERT GRADE FIELD GRADE: (FAIR TO GOOD) SERVICE GRADE: (GOOD TO VERY GOOD) And the new grade: CMP SPECIAL: (EXCELLENT) You could also buy one if you belong to a group that participates in CMP programs such as Rio Salado, etc. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RodinAZ Report post Posted August 2, 2023 I'll post more pictures this afternoon. Grade was most likely Service grade as I paid additional for a hand picked upgrade 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveInMesa Report post Posted August 2, 2023 I wasn't aware of a new CMP grade. I picked my M1 up 27 years ago when I competed. It was in rough shape but for $75, who was complaining? 😎 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If they are too nice, you worry about making it worth less by using it. Safe Queens are pretty, but beater guns have fun.😁 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SteveInMesa Report post Posted August 2, 2023 True dat. But, mine is a beauty now after a new stock, barrel and operating rod. Shoots like a dream. It basically had a smooth bore barrel when I got it. I don't want to hijack RodinAZ's post so this is the last update from me. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I didn't even want one then. Great rifle in it's time no doubt it just never moved me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
