The Civilian Marksmanship Program is well known as the go-to place to buy surplus military firearms, so the Government Accountability Office recently tallied up how much money the nonprofit has generated from selling tens of thousands of M1 Garand rifles over the past decade.

Looking backward nine years from 2017, the GAO reports that the government-chartered CMP has brought in $323 million in revenue. About 61 percent of those earnings comes from selling M1 rifles, many of which were used in World War II and the Korean War.

Does that include ammo sales?


Heck they sold over a million $ worth of surplus 22lr in 2 days few years back.

It’s all good, cmp at least puts money back into the game. I think the talladaga shooting park was some where near 200mil to build. I do wish cmp did give more money to clubs for building ranges for cmp events.
They do give a good amount of support to jr programs

"In addition to firearms, the CMP also sold commercial ammunition and memorabilia, which generated $76.4 million in revenue."
