NEWS FROM THE CMP |

CMP AT RENO, NV GUN SHOW 11-13 AUGUST 2006. CMP will be present at the Reno show. We plan to bring with us a quantity of M1 Garand GK Field Grades, GK Rack Grades, GK HRA Correct grades, and some Danish Rack (Less Wood). We will also bring a variety of M1903 rifles. As for .22 cal, we will bring some Remington 541X, H&R M12, and Kimber Model 82. We will also bring two pallets of .30-06 ammunition. Current plans are to actually sell the rifles and ammunition on site and allow customers to take the rifles with them. Our ability to do this will depend on Internet connectivity and access to NICS. If our systems do not operate correctly from Reno, we will only reserve rifles and bring them back to Anniston, pending receipt of customer mail orders.
To help expedite the process in Reno, we urge all who may be interested in purchasing at the show to make sure that their CMP files are current. If you are planning on purchasing a rifle at the Reno show, please email custserve@odcmp.com and ask us to verify that you will be able to purchase at the show. Please use email and we will respond within 24 hours. We request you not call. If you have made a purchase from the CMP since July 2003, your file will be current for everything except possibly your club membership.
