CMP Moves Firearms and Collectibles Auctions to Gunbroker
For decades the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) sold firearms, barrels, and other valuable collectible products through its own CMP online auctions. This system worked well, allowing Americans to purchase M1 Garands, M1903 Rifles, 1911 pistols and more via the CMP auction site. But that’s all changing now. The CMP is moving its auction program to GunBroker.com. CLICK HERE for CMP Gunbroker INFO page. The final listings on the current CMP Auction site will end on Friday, August 29, 2025 at 11:59 PM Central Time.
But note, firearms and other products will continue to be sold in the CMP Store. It will be the select or more rare guns that will go up for auction. The CMP states that “Our partnership with GunBroker aims to enhance the quality of our auction services while giving more U.S. citizens the chance to own a treasured piece of our nation’s history.” The CMP store will continue to sell “non-select” M1 Garands, M1917 Enfields, M1911/A1 Pistols, as well as ammunition, gear, and shooting equipment. Visit CMP Online Store.

Beginning in September 2025, all CMP Auction and “Buy Now” items will be listed, displayed, and sold through GunBroker.com, one of the most widely-used online marketplaces for firearms and related items. CLICK HERE for more INFO on CMP Gunbroker Auction Programs.
