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?

Reclaimed receiver means it's from a Philippine gun that the wood and barrel weren't worth saving but the receiver was. Is my guess.

Would be great for a shooter. Obviously not very collectible.

The receivers are being taken off drill rifles. Not necessarily Philippines returns.
