WHAT CMP is DOING!

CMP Competitions Update 12/19/03

TO: 2003 NATIONAL TROPHY MATCHES COMPETITORS

THANK YOU. This message comes at the end of a very special year in the history of the CMP and National Matches. On behalf of the CMP, I want to express a sincere thank you to each of you for participating in the 2003 National Trophy Rifle and Pistol Matches or in the 2003 CMP Games competitions. This year's matches not only were the Centennial National Matches, but they were the biggest Nationals since 1990. Their successes could only happen with your support. Again, thank you!

2003 NATIONAL TROPHY MATCHES BULLETIN. For the last four years, the CMP has concluded its part of the National Matches by publishing a souvenir results bulletin with final results, photos and stories from the matches. The 2003 bulletin has just arrived from the printers. The CMP is mailing a bulletin to every 2003 National Matches competitor this week. If you do not receive your copy in the next few weeks or if you have suggestions for next year's final bulletin, please contact the CMP Competitions staff at 419-635-2141, ext. 1123 or 1132 or email to competitions@odcmp.com. Now that we have completed the implementation of our Competition Tracker software, we expect to be able to move the 2004 bulletin publication date up to September.

NATIONAL MATCHES CENTENNIAL. We also want to thank you for your support of the 2003 National Matches and CMP Centennial activities. The cover of the National Matches bulletin that you will receive in the next few days is based on the painting that the CMP commissioned to commemorate the Centennial. The original now hangs in CMP North headquarters, but posters of that painting are still available if you did not get one. They can be ordered for $14.95 each through the CMP E-Store at http://www.odcmp.com/Services/estore.htm.

2004 NATIONAL MATCHES PLANNING. We can report that plans for the 2004 National Matches are already well underway. We are looking at several developments to make next year's matches better. Next year's match results will continue to be posted online during the matches by using our Competition Tracker software. In 2003, you could enter the Small Arms Firing Schools and USMC Junior Clinic on line through the CMP web site. Next year, you will be able to enter any National Trophy Matches, including the Garand, Springfield and Rimfire Sporter Matches online. Arrangements are not complete on this one, but we think we will be able to offer a special M-16 EIC match where shooters who do not have any EIC rifle credit points can compete for "introductory" four-point legs using issue M-16 rifles from the Small Arms Firing School. We're also working on a scheduling innovation that would allow all Garand Match firing to be done on one range and be completed earlier than in previous years. We'll get the word out as soon as we can if we are successful in these efforts. If any of you have recommendations to consider in planning the 2004 matches, please get them to the CMP Competitions Department.

CMP COMPETITION RULES. We are also in the process of considering recommended rule changes in preparation for printing the 8th Edition 2004 CMP Competition Rules. Any recommendations that you have for rule changes or clarifications need to be received by the CMP Competitions Department by the end of the year (Competitions@odcmp.com).

We wish all of you a great holiday season and hope that all of your goals for the 2004 shooting year are achieved. We look forward to welcoming you back to Camp Perry for the 2004 National Matches and all of the unique shooting activities associated with the matches.

CMP Update 12/12/03

LAKE CITY SURPLUS M2 BALL NOW AVAILABLE FROM CMP. After several years of effort, the CMP has been successful in securing the transfer of a sizeable amount of linked M2 Ball from the U.S. Army. A condition of the transfer was that all links and tracers be removed and demilled and only the M2 Ball rounds sold to members of CMP affiliated organizations. CMP has contracted with TALON for the delinking and the first of many truckloads was received by CMP this week. This ammunition is packaged 20 rounds per box, 12 boxes per can, 4 cans per case (960 rounds per case).

All of these rifles had been on loan to veterans organizations and had been returned to U.S. Army inventory. We have completed our inspection and repair and test firing and each of these rifles functions. All of the barrels are dark, and many have rust, pitting, and little rifling. All are mix-masters. None are in original configuration. There are a very few manufactured by Winchester and Remington, most are Eddystone.

Orders already on hand that we were not able to fill and future orders for IHCs that are received will be entered into our system and processed as more rifles become available. We estimate long waiting periods for this model.

REMINGTON MODEL 513T SOLD OUT. We estimate that we have only enough 513T rifles to fill orders already received. Processing of these orders should be completed by the end of December.

REMINGTON MODEL 513-T (TARGET) "MATCHMASTER" RIFLES. Approximately 1,000 government-surplus Remington 513-T Target smallbore rifles will be available for purchase by clubs beginning on October 1, 2003 and by individuals, beginning on November 1, 2003. Some of these rifles will be available for purchase at the CMP Store at Camp Perry, beginning on November 1.

The Remington 513-T model is bolt action, target stock, 27 inch barrel, 6-shot magazine fed rifle. Rifles are sold without sights and slings and many are missing sling swivels. These rifles were received from the Army without magazines and magazines are not available through the CMP. These rifles are returns from ROTC and other U.S. Army marksmanship programs. Rifles are used and show significant wear. Wood is rough and will require some work by the purchaser. Metal finish is fair to good, but some scratches, worn finish, and minor pitting may be present. Rifle bores may show lead fouling. Overall condition of the rifles ranges from 60%-80%. All rifles are U.S. property marked (scribed, not stamped).

There are approximately 1,000 of these rifles in current inventory and we expect demand to be high. Because of the limited quantity, CMP is giving affiliated clubs an opportunity to purchase some of these rifles before we begin processing orders from individuals. Beginning on October 1, 2003, only club orders will be processed. Individual customers may submit their orders now, but we will not begin entering them into our system or processing them until November 1, 2003 - assuming that some are still available for sale. All sales are subject to available supplies. Sales are on a first come—first served basis. There are no individual or club purchase limits. The price for these Remington 513T rifles is $100 plus $20.95 S&H per rifle. Clubs receive the standard 10% affiliate discount for government surplus rifle orders. Please use NLU# R024 when ordering.

The CMP ESTORE http:\\estore.odcmp.com has replaced our old shopping cart. This is an entirely new system with many enhancements over the old system. Because of customer demand, we are taking the ESTORE live today and will provide more detailed instructions for use at a later date. The system is based on users email addresses and passwords. Everyone is

considered a new user and will have to log in and get a password assigned. When entering for the first time go to the left side of the screen, click on the login button. Enter email address and click on 'forgot password'. System will assign a password for future use. NOTE: our store is still under construction and not all photos or items have been loaded. NOTE: U.S. citizenship and affiliated club membership is required for all purchases of military surplus items, to include parts and ammunition. ESTORE will check customer records for this information and will not process orders if the CMP does not have this information on file for customers. Please bear with us on this. System is designed to allow customers to manage their own accounts and check the status of their orders on-line. We will offer these options over the next few months.

CMP Update 03/24/03

M1917 Enfields Sold Out.
http://www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/index.htm#m1917
The CMP has sold all of the M1917 Enfield rifles that had passed our inspection and test firing operations. Customers whose orders we were not able to fill will be notified by our staff over the next two weeks. We have received another sizeable quantity of M1917s and expect to complete inspection of these new arrivals and offer them for sale later this year or early next year.

CMP Update 03/21/03

Club Carbine Sales Suspended. Effective March 24, 2003 the CMP is temporarily discontinuing carbine sales. Although there is still a large quantity in inventory, recent experience has shown that the remaining carbines require inspection and repair to prepare them for sale. Many are missing rear sights, have broken stocks or handguards, or other defects. Sales will resume when the carbine inspection & repair program is completed. Since most carbine repair parts are not currently available in CMP inventory, we expect it will be several months before carbines are again offered. Any orders for carbines received after March 24, 2003 will be returned.

Remington 541X sold out. The CMP has sold out of all the Remington 541X .22 cal rifles that had been reserved for purchase by clubs. We expect to have a large quantity of used .22 cal rifles available for purchase sometime in 2004.

CMP Update 2/24/03

Drill rifle sales discontinued:

The CMP has completely sold out of M1903 drill rifles and has discontinued the sale of M1903A3 drill rifles. Remaining inventory will be stripped for parts and wood for use in repair of functioning M1903A3 rifles. Parts and wood will not be offered for sale until we have inspected and repaired all M1903A3s in inventory. Estimated completion date for M1903A3 I&R is late 2004.

M1917 Enfield Rifles. Last year the U.S. Army transferred a sizeable quantity of M1917s to the CMP. All of these rifles had been on loan to veterans organizations and had been returned to U.S. Army inventory. We have completed our inspection and repair and test firing of most of these rifles and have several hundred that passed inspection and are available for sale. These rifles all function. Some of the barrels are dark, but have good rifling. All are mix-masters. None are in original configuration, but all grade as good. There are a very few manufactured by Winchester and Remington, most are Eddystone. Orders will be filled luck of the draw on a first come - first served basis, without regard to manufacturer. We expect these rifles to sell out quickly and will not list them in our catalog.

NLU R011. Price is $425 per rifle plus $20.95 S&H.
