      Due to supply issues and customer feedback, CMP will no longer offer a free rifle case with every rifle purchase. Customers will receive one free rifle case per calendar year with their first purchase of an M1 Garand in each calendar year. Rifles not shipped in a rifle case, will be shipped in a custom (made for specifically for CMP) corrugated cardboard box with convoluted foam. Rifle cases will be eligible for purchase when quantity permits. This does not apply to pistol orders. All CMP 1911 pistols will be shipped in a pistol case.

      How many people are buying multiples of these things that they had to put up this disclaimer?

        Apparently there is a group of people who max out their orders every year (8 I believe) and either stockpile them or sell them in various ways.

          Idk I thought it was a good point. It’s a hard time to buy a bad gun, not impossible, but odds are better you’d just overpay. I haven’t got a chance to shoot one, but I understand those psa daggers are basically gen 3 Glocks now that the parents, or whatever, have expired.

          I’m not sure you’d have an easy time finding a gun manufacturer/seller that isn’t sort of trash.

              No problem. They’re actually named after the state, too. South Carolina is known as “The Palmetto State” because their state tree is the palmetto palm, and it’s on their flag. Kinda like Texas (The Lone Star State) and its lone star.

        If you look at how much they are on the second hand market they become much better deals. But yes, it is a large amount of money.
