CMP Auctions M1D Garand Sniper Rifle to Support USAMU Museum Exhibit

The Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) is excited to announce a special auction of an M1D Garand sniper rifle – a highly collectible piece of American military history! This unique rifle will be available on CMP’s Online Auction site beginning Nov. 18, with bids accepted until Nov. 30.

The auction is hosted by the CMP to raise funds toward a U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit (USAMU) Exhibit at the National Infantry Museum in Columbus, Ga. – in the hopes of contributing to the preservation and legacy of U.S. military marksmanship programs and ensuring future generations learn the significance these units have played in national defense and marksmanship excellence.

The auctioned M1D Garand includes all original GI parts such as the original cheek pad and M84 scope, making this a unique opportunity for collectors and enthusiasts to acquire a historically significant firearm while supporting a meaningful cause. The minimum starting bid will begin at $1,000.

About the M1D Garand:

The M1D Garand was developed as a sniper variant of the iconic M1 Garand. It features modifications such as a scope mount and the M84 scope, making it one of the most effective sniper rifles of its time. It was used during the Korean War and remains a highly prized collectible.

Other Characteristics of the Auctioned Rifle:

  • M84 Scope: The M84 scope is the original optic issued with the M1D Garand, offering enhanced accuracy and performance. Collectors seek it, as its inclusion adds tremendous value to the rifle.
  • Cheek Pad: The original cheek pad further enhances the authenticity of this sniper rifle setup, adding to its completeness and desirability as a collectible firearm.

Detailed images and descriptions of the M1D Garand rifle is available on CMP’s Auction platform for those potential bidders wanting to learn more about the condition and historical significance of this rare item.

We invite all interested parties to participate in this auction and contribute to the preservation of America’s military marksmanship history. For more details and to place a bid, please visit https://cmpauction.thecmp.org/, AUCTION LISTING #8860. Good luck!

About the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit:

The U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit has been integral to the development of U.S. military marksmanship – training soldiers and fostering competitive individuals who have gone on to excel at the highest levels of shooting sports and competitions. Learn more about the USAMU at https://www.army.mil/usamu.

The Civilian Marksmanship Program is a federally chartered 501 (c) (3) non-profit corporation.
