In addition, while the CMP was started by the US government and managed by the US Army until 1996, since then it has been managed by the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice & Firearms Safety, which was also started by the US government but runs independently as a non-profit that receives no federal funding unless you count the surplus firearms the CPRPFS receives from the Army.Ĭan’t buy a pew pew when you’re in the pokey. While the CMP started out as marksmanship training for adults, it has since shifted its focus primarily to youth and safe, responsible use of firearms. This was especially important since the military had just adopted the bolt-action M1903 Springfield, but most of the population was only familiar with lever-action rifles, not bolt-action ones. The CMP: Turning Americans from Fudds to badasses since 1903! 22 rimfire a piece that every discerning, shooting enthusiast would be proud to own.The idea was that if the US had to go to war, we’d have a population that was already skilled with the firearms used by the US Armed Forces and was ready to serve with less need for training. The combination of innovation, history and the finest American materials makes this. All made with the finest American Walnut stocks and front and rear hand guards. The all-new trapdoor, steel butt plate and stock hardware are faithful to the original design. Kingston also incorporated a stronger barrel/receiver connection system, and a proprietary “Battle Tough”” magazine design as rigid and strong as those who used the original. The receiver is made of 100% U.S steel (not aluminum).

What really sets this gun apart are the revolutionary upgrades. Patents, acknowledging Kingston’s unique and award-winning design. It has precisely M1 Garand features, lines and components, and is the ONLY original rimfire version of the M1 Garand on the market today equipped with three U.S. This commitment to excellence has produced the Kingston Model M1 Garand. Kingston Armory has just as much of a driving passion for innovation as they do for history and elevating the greatest firearms of all time.
