Announcement. By special authorization, the CMP is pleased to announce the future availability and sale of surplus M14 rifles. Prior to sale, the rifles will be modified to be permanently and irreversibly semi-automatic rifles. The modified semi-automatic M14s will be fully compliant with CMP enabling legislation authorizing the transfer and sale of military surplus .30 caliber rifles.

Details. The CMP anticipates first order fulfilment in the late 2026 to early 2027 timeframe. More details will be published on the M14 order submission process, pricing, limits and sales channels (mail order and physical stores) at a later date. Proceeds from the sale of these and other historic firearms allow the CMP to teach firearms safety and marksmanship, conduct competitions, and provide scholarships and youth programs, nationwide.

Sure does have a purty barrel and stock.

ETA: I have a mini 14 in 5.56 wood stock. Love it. Fun to shoot.



ETA: well I had a mini 14. I lost it in a boating accident.

We really should have a Golden Ticket style super upvote button that we could use once a month.

This would be the candidate for that.

I bought a M1A national match about 15 years ago for $800, the original owner hates that he sold it to me for that cheap. It's my favorite rifle to shoot

Those rifles are better with semi auto anyway. One of the best rifles ever produced IMO.

I wonder how much they will cost. It's great to see the ATF is no longer stuck on the "once a machine gun, always a machine gun" policy. Great job by everyone involved.

I would love to rub some oil all over that and feel how smooth it is. Get in all the crevices all nice and deep.

Run my rod all down its bore while it’s all lubed up.

Slide the bolt back and forth so lube gets all into the chamber

Quite a few hoops to jump through to buy from them, but it’s probably worth it.

Totally worth it. If you like shooting, you should join/support CMP. If i want it and they sell it, I buy it from them, cost be damned.

Darth, I am pretty sure I have seen you post that you live around the same area as I do here in NE AL. I know for a fact that the CMP has had a warehouse about the size of a small HS gym slap full of these M14s in the area for several years now. The guy who owns the shop I work at is involved in another shop with refurbishing M1 Garands and M1903A3 for CMP. He was supposed to get in on the M14 project but he ended up doing the "M1 by CMP" project. That is the new M1 that is made from castings instead of stamped receivers.

I have been wondering when this was going to be announced.
