We have removed the initial post about the CMP future release of M14 rifles.
We DO NOT post information that is rumor and will always rely on facts.

DO NOT POST speculation as to the number of doll hairs to adopt the rifle.

PLEASE READ: Regarding the recent announcement from the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) concerning the upcoming release of M14 rifles, I am strongly urging all members to please refrain from calling the CMP office to request further information at this time. As of today, there has been no official word or confirmed update regarding specific release dates, unit p ricing, or distribution protocols. Unfortunately, there is far too much speculation and misinformation currently circulating throughout social media and enthusiast forums. Please remain patient and wait for an official statement to be posted directly by the CMP to ensure you are receiving accurate and reliable information.

Big win for gun owners and the Second Amendment!

We've been pushing the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) to start selling over 100,000 historic M14 rifles to American citizens. After approvals from the Army and ATF, the first sales are now expected to occur in late 2026 or early 2027.

Proceeds will fund marksmanship training and youth programs nationwide, including at the new Wyoming State Shooting Complex in Cody, which will partner with CMP.

Thanks to the CMP, and for granting the approvals to make this happen

As I’m sure you have noticed there has been a lack of post. We are currently battling FB over content showing 80 year old rifles.

A new M1 Book has been published.

Happy Monday! One of the things I always wanted to see in a reference book was a photo of barrels on the Line Material Company production line. After years of looking on eBay for a photo, one finally popped up. I included it in the book and am going to show you a portion of it. This photo has, to my knowledge, never been seen in a reference book. So, here is a shot of the barrels on the line. Note the barrels were moved between stations on a roller conveyor. This photo is dated December 8, 1952. For the record, I have eight images of the Line Material plant in the book. Enjoy!
