CMP Need to do something.
In my opinion CMP should Go back to a limit at 10 cans per year for Shooters With an NRA classification and go back to an active range or club membership. And sell the 10 cans at $60 The amount a Active competitive shooter can Shoot in a year. The are supposed to be supporting the shooting sports anyway, right? Not the Gun Dealer Vultures. It is just a matter of time before widely available CMP 30.06 Marketed ammo is sold 2nd hand at a gunshow to the wrong person and a shooting with it happens accidental or deliberate. What will happen to CMP then? CMP needs to regulate the flow of their ammo like they do the rifles. If CMP truly valued the M1 Garand Rifle and it's American Legacy insted of quick money, they would do this. I know a lot of guys that would love to have an M1. But They allready feel they are to expensive Just for the rifle! What will they think when it costs $1 a pull.. No way!
I bought my first M1 in 1988 From the old DCM after getting involved in Service Rifle shooting in the Army Reserve. Back then There was No 30.06 milsurp ammo on the Market. That Rifle did Not get fired that much for years. It was just to expensive. I would not have started collecting M1's Without the availability of ammo at a reasonable price to fire up interest. Will CMP be able to sell M1's when the ammo dries up?
