CMP ripps you off!!!

"so what if people are loading their trucks and selling it at gun shows?"
Same reason I see Rack grades at gun shows going for $900.00.
I don't think the CMP is a Wholesale club.

Well its simple . Everyone was crying about wanting a ammo limit and now you have it. CMP will be selling less ammo so they have to raise the price to make up the difference. Be careful what you ask for

Checked on things, if you do the math your really paying for the brass and everything else is a bonus. Please do some math ricky. Name a cheaper source?

This is hillbillyricky opinion. The majority of us appreciates the service CMP does for us. Our best bet is to let this die, please don't blow this up any bigger...

first of all if they really cared about resale they would limit the ammo not raise the price, you can buy new production cheaper then this old greek surplus. I don't think the 25 can limit is being enforced as I saw 3 weeks ago a guy load over 50 cans into his truck as it limped out of the parking lot. putting a limit per month would stop these resellers because they can't make enough to make a drive to the CMP. 2nd , I am trying to get you to understand their are plenty of left wing nuts out there who would love to stop the CMP if they knew about it and by the CMP ****ing people off with these ripp off prices for ammo and guns which are also overpriced. don't tell me the market sets prices for garands and carbines the CMP does. If they would have kept the old prices they would still be selling for that much at any gun shop. for all the money I have sent them over the years I want some damm respect and not get the ripp off price increases which are greater then the rate of inflation for the past 20 years, I question where this money is going to and many others in the far left media will to if it is brought to their attention, so clean up your act CMP and stop this bull crap price increase because some dump azz at a gun show is willing to spend more then what the gun or ammo is really worth!!

Man do you have your facts all screwed up
There is a limit, it was just implemented a few days ago. They had to raise the price because ofall they whiners wanting a limit. Think about it, limit = less ammo sales= less profit, so they had to raise the price to make up for the difference.
Still waiting for your source of modern ammo thats cheaper than CMP's Greek HXP
Understand Hillybilly? Yee Haa

Well the CMP is still the best thing going for most of us. I would have rather seen a ten can limit per year per person to try to keep the ammo in the hands of those who use it rather than raiseing the price so much.
The only CMP beef I have at the moment is they no longer provide ammo at cost to clubs for clinics to get new shooters started.I have a couple Garand clinics this spring and found the CMP did not wish to supply ammo for the shooters at .17 per round like they had. I felt this kind of went against promoting marksmanship, especilly when some of the clinics were for juniors.
Ricky I would think real hard about this post, you will probally not like the replies you will get, in fact I would try to remove it.

It looks like the CMP still provides Greek HXP at a reduced rate to affiliated clubs but the cost has gone up as well. It is currently 28 cents a round ( including shipping). Look at the "Club sales order form" on the CMP home page.

In your first post that started all this crap, you were the left wing nut. Ricky you are way wrong on this. Please name your source for cheaper "new production" ammo.

The CMP uses proceeds from sales to promote firearms safety training and rifle practice for all qualified U.S. citizens with special emphasis on youth. Their prices are competitive. Prices are set by available supply, demand and what the market will bear. It is not what they paid for the ammo, it is what they can sell it for. The CMP is by far, still the best deal out there and they use the money they get to promote the shooting sports. Money well spent in my opinion.

Uh, HBR, play nice - we do have a Romper Room over here, just like Gloria had on the old CSP website!!
