Not mentioned in the article is that Americans can buy their very own M1 Garand via the Civilian Marksmanship Program: https://thecmp.org/cmp_sales/rifle-sales/

> Effective October 1, 2023, the CMP’s new yearly limit on M1 Garands will be 6 per calendar year.

Fascinating.

Believe this refers to per person. Otherwise this would be quite the robust program to only move 6 deadstock rifles a year.

Yes, sorry, it's clear in context that it's per person: https://thecmp.org/sales-and-service/m1-garand/

Note that you can get them decently cheaper third hand, or so I’ve seen.

~$800 per rifle, for those that went looking through the page and couldn't find it.

If others know of reputable sources that are cheaper, please link!
