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.

Hallelujah. 

There are not too many things that get me excited, but this is one.  I am going to get a dozen!

-Appleseed: '08-IBC, '09-Red Hat, '09-FT Stewart, '10-RBC,

'09, '10, '11, '14, '15, '16, '22, "25-KD, '24-IBC, Pistoleer™ '24. RFKD '25

-2Cor10:4-5. For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds; Casting down imaginations and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, & bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

-Eph6:12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world forces of this moral darkness and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.

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

It's not about perfection -- it's about progress!!

I LOVE this stuff!

"Perhaps you and I have lived with this miracle too long to be properly appreciative. Freedom is a fragile thing and is never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people. Those who have known freedom and then lost it have never known it again" Ronald Reagan

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.
