Mopar is right on. Alot of times you can find folks selling Ammo local for 50-60 cents a round. or you can buy from the CMP for .68 cents per round shipped.
Good on the limits! It should be 3 per LIFETIME...
For every fifth, sixth, or seventh Garand some guy bought, maybe even in a short time, there are 3 guys out there that might not have one someday.
These are historic pieces, the likes of which will never come again; I couldn't sit and look at my gun cabinet if it held a half-dozen of them, knowing that eventually there will be some dude, who is maybe 8 years old now, who will have a hard time finding one because some folks just can't get "enough" of a finite resource like that.
It's like they guys who backed a truck up to CMP to load up ammo...c'mon, man. And I'm not even talking about the flippers.
I'll get the stink-eye for this, but bring it, folks.
I'm an engineer, and I have an eye for a finely crafted piece designed without regard for "quick and dirty" and "cheap as we possibly can" manufacturing methods.
But I only have 1 Garand.
And that's enough.

You wont get the stink eye from me, You are entitled to your Opinion. Its not like the rifles are being destroyed , so Little johnny will still have a chance to get one in the future.Will he get one Cheap? prob not But Am i getting a SVT for 50.00 like they used to be back in the day?? NO..
Far as a Limit of three, i would buy at least 4 cause i want all 4 Makers, Then if i wanted more im supposed to go buy off Gunbroker ? I would MUCH rather buy from a company like CMP that you cant trust to give you a nice rifle. Afterall, thats what its about right? getting the best rifle you can for your money? Seriously though, you know if it was a limit of three. Bill would order three, then have his buddy order 3, then his mom , then his cousin etc.
Rifles are a investment as well as many other things. There is a reason I own Many of the same items. For one, i like That rifle enough to own different ones. They all have different Characteristics that make them Unique. There will be one day in the future where i get Old and tired and cash out or I will die first and the wife and kids can sell them to pay for Bills etc. again, they are a Investment as well as a fun toy/tool.

Haters going to hate.
Collectors buy all you can afford now while the getting is still good.

Here is the statutory mission of CMP from their website. A lifetime limit would seem to fit that mission just fine. But they also need to sell enough to continue funding all of their programs. I'd rather my grand kids generation be able to buy rifles from CMP then people having dozens, but that ain't happening at this point, and really isn't the purpose.
Statutory mission. The federal law enacted in 1996 (Title 36 U. S. Code, 40701-40733) that created the Corporation for the Promotion of Rifle Practice and Firearms Safety, Inc. (CPRPFS, the formal legal name of the CMP) mandates these key “functions for the corporation:
To instruct citizens of the United States in marksmanship;
To promote practice and safety in the use of firearms;
To conduct competitions in the use of firearms and to award trophies, prizes, badges, and other insignia to competitors.
It also gives the highest priority to the following below. I know the sales are used to fund youth shooting activities and I'm not involved in those decisions.
In carrying out the Civilian Marksmanship Program, the corporation shall give priority to activities that benefit firearms safety, training, and competition for youth and that reach as many youth participants as possible.

Springfield Armory use to. Fulton Armory still does, for a price. [EDIT FA Garands use an original receiver]
Damn, CMP is sold out of nearly everything. I was looking to place an order for a .308 soon. Bummer.

Heard yesterday folks talking about a 90day to 6 month wait at this point. They changed the website to say they are out of stock again. Most likely to catch up on the orders that came pouring in.
