Carbine/Garand Prices

eclancy · 05-18-2007, 12:01 PM

Gentlemen,
You guys can thank Ted Kennedy for the prices at CMP. Back in the mid-70's I ran DCM shoots. DCM gave you ammo, targets and rifles to shoot the course with. ALL FREE. Then came Mr Kennedy. He wanted the DCM shut down and the Dem's almost got the job done. They didn't get the votes needed to close the DCM BUT they got the funding from the US ARMY cut to ZERO. DCM had to change to stay alive. What they had to do was change into the CMP and had to fund the whole operation. Under the old DCM you could buy only 1 rifle in a lifetime at about 99 bucks. Well, CMP let you buy more then 1 rifle and had to keep raising the price to stay alive. You guys know that prices on almost anything has gone up, so the CMP had to raise their prices. Remember, CMP has done a great job in getting these Rifles into your hands. If you go to gun shows/gunshops you can see the higher prices on both the M1 Carbine/M1 Garand. We now have the problem that the Dem's might take the White House in '08. The 3 best things for us to do is Vote, join the NRA, yes but they are on our side and just might save us in '08, and last but in my opinion BUY AMERICAN from the CMP. They are out there for you guys so let's help support them. Stop all this noise about price increases that is going on everywhere. CMP gets you the real deal.
Just think about it.
Thanks again
Clancy

Thanks, I'll keep checking in on the website. I need to get one before they are all gone.

I will be waiting for the Oct. Garands as well. I played around too long and missed the last ones.

I got one of the last greeks (It is beautifull by the way..especially with a new boyds stock!) field garands.

I bet you can look at least for a 20% price increase...but I hope to **** they limit sales to one or two at the most. Too many "gun show dealers" have been snapping them up for resale.

I hate Toady Kennedy. It unbelievable that he's JFKs brother. I met, spoke to (called him "Mr. President") and shook hands with then candidate John F. Kennedy on his "whistle stop train ride" in my hometown in Ohio in 1960. He asked me if I was being a little premature (in calling him Mr. President) and I said "No sir. I don't think so." He was the most impressive man I've ever met. Like shaking hands with a live wire. Hard to believe he was a Democrat. Nowdays, they are dimocrits, libtards and closet communists. hillery is the Third Incarnation of the Anti-Christ we have been warned about by Nostradamus. bin Laden's her mentor. He DID see the future.
Love them Garands. The ULTIMATE collector's and shooter's rifle. Every loyal American should own at least one. We owe a lot to you Mr. Clancy. Thank you.
