Title: New Offering coming soon from the CMP - surplus M14 rifles!
Post by: Mrs. Smith on July 25, 2026, 08:32:18 AM
Yup, you read that right! Beginning as soon as late 2026, the CMP has been authorized to begin selling M14 rifles. They will be "permanently and irreversibly modified" to semi-automatic but will otherwise be as John C. Garand designed them.

I foresee a change in the tides coming.
The days of 99% rimfire Appleseed events are coming to an end.
The roar of the 308 Appleseed line is coming back!

How fast will that sell out and how long with that waiting list be? I bet fast and long.

I'm personally more interested in this than a M1 Garand. It is 13 Ms better!

I just picked up a CMP 308 Garand, so, there's that.
Ammo is still pretty spendy though, even bulk. Or reloading.

Nothing worth having ever seems cheap when acquired.

But trust me when I tell you that these are the 'good ole days' when it comes to ammo prices.
