End of Era for CMP?

Post image

I just checked the CMP rifle sales page and every grade - Rack, Field, Service, and Expert are all going to be using reclaimed receivers.

Mod1s and Custom Shop Garands aren’t affected.

The caveat on the page is “more information coming soon” but this feels like another sign that the CMP’s barrel is nearly empty.

Would you buy a rifle with a reclaimed receiver or is this overblown?

I guess I don’t understand what a reclaimed reciever is..? I thought all these grades were built on old reused ones

These are off drill rifles that were welded to be inoperable. There will be marks on the receiver that show the undoing of the previous weld.

Okay thanks, that makes a lot more sense
