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

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.

MrGuns&Gear YouTube did a break down on what this might look like. I found it very informative.

Not sure if it was him, but some internet personalities are predicting that the cost will be around 4k. I would only pay that if it were in Excellent to like new condition. 

It will be interesting to see what they go for.

Yes, it was mentioned that they may sell for upwards of $4k. To rich for my blood. LOL

I was unaware of the history of them though and how many were given/sold to other countries or merely destroyed during the Clinton administration.

I presume this may be one reason to the high price tag as there are so few left. That and the need to remachine the recievers to be semi-auto.
