Welcome to The CMP 

CMP... The BEST firearms organization, hands down.

If you want to have MORE fun shooting, and increase your skill, get involved with the CMP. 😄 Here's my recommended "Quick Start": 1) Attend Small Arms Firing School (SAFS) / Rifle 101. They are both essentially the same class. This will give you a solid foundation, or fine tune skills you already have. 2) Sign up for a CMP Games match, called a Garand, Springfield, Modern Military, Vintage Match (GSMV). These are 30 shot, 200 yards only, matches that allow coaching. You get 5 sighters to get a 200 yard zero, and your scorer/verifier will gladly help you. You can use the rifle you likely already own for this match. There is a long list of eligible rifles, including the non-match grade AR-15 you already own. Camp Perry and CMP Talladega Marksmanship Park are not a place for experts. They are a place to help YOU become an expert.

I wish there was a location out west.

I would love to compare the grade point averages and criminal histories of the kids in these programs to the kids involved in other sports. My money is on these kids doing FAR better.

CMP is an amazing organization but please, please reopen service grade M1 Garands again.

If it was not 2200 miles from my house, I might be inclined to look into it. Bummer!

Im looking to get my first M-1 garand so how difficult is it to do ? What all do I need to send in with the application ?

Cmp nevermind.

No thanks we already paid for them the first time!
