CMP Acquires Surplus Ammunition with Upcoming Sales at Matches
In early 2023, the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) announced the acquisition of vast quantities of surplus ammunition. Over the past year, this surplus ammunition was available to CMP customers, and available to competitors during our matches.

The CMP intends on maintaining a surplus ammo inventory large enough to support CMP Matches for the next several years and to provide discounted surplus ammo to competitors attending CMP events. All sales will include set limits to remain in compliance with guidelines specified in the Memorandum of Agreement between the Department of the Army and the CMP. The CMP’s current ammunition available for purchase may be viewed on the CMP eStore.

“CMP continues to fulfill its vision to lead the nation in marksmanship excellence providing safe, high quality, and innovative programs with a focus on youth”, said Christie Sewell, CMP’s Chief Programs Officer. “CMP continues to set purchase limits and restrictions to ensure that our competitors will have access to the surplus ammunition.”
