Well ol 'Neck and I decided to make a quick run to CMP a couple weeks ago ...





'Neck wanted to pick-up another Garand (Winchester) and I just NEEDED another one of those "Rusty" Kimbers!!

'Neck looking over the Winchester Service Grades ...



Most of the racks were full!!













Taking a break after looking at way too many rifles!!



Time to look over the "Rusty" Kimbers!!



Time to hit the old credit card!!



'Neck found him a nice HRA Service Grade -- decided against the Winchester!! They were all mixmasters and not in the "best" of shape -- especially at the $700.00 range. I did pick-up another one of those "Rusty" Kimbers and we left the South Store around 12:30pm. We stopped at a Wendy's just down from the South Store for a bite to eat. While eating, we were talking about all the "great" rifles we left behind. 'Neck turned to me a said - "You ready to go back?" Of course, my response was, "Yes." Went back and spend another hour of so and ol 'Neck walked away with a "Rusty" Kimber -- actually, I believe they put some more out after we had left the first time -- I know I did not overlook the one we found for him!!

Overall a great day with a great guy at a great place!!

I have bought several rifles there. We are fortunate to have this facility nearby. The CMP Store at Camp Perry does not have the quality rifles they have at Annistion.

I've been there before. I would love to go back, but I need to make sure I have the funds to do so :lol4:

what do you have to do to be affiliated or join the cmp(whatever the process is)? a Garand is definitely on my wish list is why i ask.......but probably much further down the road

Looks like I'm going to be going to Anniston to CMP South. I really hate to make the trip because I know that MS Dot will probably buy me another Rifle of some sorts. I would like to get a case or two of their 240 round spam cans if they still have any left when I get there. I just got a case (2 spam cans) of it in today and the can I opened looks very good. I'm going to the range in the morning to try some of it out. It's a '69 lot number. The first spam can I got in (192 round w/clips) was '78 lot number and it looks good also. Gonna shoot some of it too. I guess that Neck and CPT were like two blind dogs in a meat processing plant at CMP just like I'll be.

Those RM1 Specials look pretty good in the pic. How about it CPT, any good ones in that bunch?

 

[captain-03]

The RM1Specials are the best in the store!! They all look like they just let the factory!! New barrels, new stocks, all parts newly parked!!

I bought one 3 years ago when they first were introduced. CMP announced they were going to build 1000 of them!! They sold out in about 2 - 3 weeks!! I was lucky enough to get one ... IIRC, paid $917.00 to my door. The first 1000 went so fast CMP decided to add them to their offerings!!

When 'Neck and I was over there last month, they had about 20 on display .... each one was a looker!!

I passed through there on Monday on the way back from Charlotte from visiting my brother. Went to the Saints Game WHO DAT!!!. I thought about going to look at the store just so I knew where it is for next time but didn't and of course they are closed on Monday.

It's funny! your pictures make the store look alot bigger than it actually is!
