Surplus Carbine Ammo from CMP - The Carbine Collector's Club

I think they are bi-metal plated bullets. I also checked some LC 72 that I already had, and they also are attracted to a magnet.

I wonder what they are going to do with the ammo cans?

Could be maybe some came packed in another manner? or they decided the easiest way to make more profit is sell the cans seperately?

Just saw a photo of the 240 round count boxes and realized that metal cans probably hold 1080 rounds. Pinch

Now I understand why the cans are seperate. Maybe worth an e-mail asking if will sell some of them.

Checked some boxed LC 50 I bought last year. Son of a gun! They have the bimetal jackets.

Don't have an answer for that jeepwm69. Lots of complaints/posts over on the CMP forum about the same issue. I imagine the CMP is a bit overwhelmed with emails right now so it could take some time for them to update customers' accounts.

All I can offer is how it worked for me.

Before ordering the bore mirror I e-mailed the store asking I needed to create an account since I already had a competition number. The answer was yes.

Quote:

Once you click E-Store tab click the log in button in the
top right hand corner of the page, then hit register. You will then be able
to create your account. Once the account is created you can email me your
poof of club and citizenship so I can upload that information to your
account. If you have any questions, please let me know.

For citizenship I use a scan of my (expired) passport. Yea I know I should renew it.

For club affiliation I provided the Carbine Club number as well as my competition number.

In the paragraph about the Carbine Club, I explained that the club sends a spreadsheet list which I should be on.

With the competion number, I provided the club that sponsers the matches. (Note: I'm not a member of that club. I just participate in their CMP matches and someone created a competition number for me.) I have no idea if this qualifies for purchases, or only Carbinbe Club affiliation qualified me.

I recieved an e-mail back that afternoon stating my account had been updated with the information. Done. This was in January.

When the ammunition went on sale I was told that my account is fine for purchasing. I ordered carbine ammmo and a barracks cleaning rod last Friday. Order acknowledments for both were e-mailed immediately. No shipping information has been sent yet.

Probably worth a follow up.

Hi, Everyone is having problems with the Club affiliation, or seems to be. I sent them an Email with my credentials and they fixed it in 2 hours. I think it's a E store glitch , Maybe, (?) I'm a member of the GCA, Carbine Club and my local club is affiliated. I use GCA as it's the easiest for me, good Luck, Mike

I sent them an initial email yesterday with no response as of yet. I sent to same address, custserve@thecmp.org, as listed on their site. Guess maybe they are just overwhelmed?

FWIW: It took 15 days for my CLUB info to be updated via email to custserve@. Even though my club memberships have not lapsed in 15 years, and I authorized the release to CMP, I have needed to email for an update every year I ordered something. Maybe not in years I mail ordered a rifle.
Received 4 bandos of LC72 today, bright and shiny. Smells good like surplus should :)

Ok…finally heard back from CMP that they received the copy of passport. Said I’m updated and good to go. Just ordered 4 bandoleers.

They responded to my follow-up email to “info@thecmp.org”, so thanks for the heads up that that one was the one you used!

Got a response from "info@thecmp.org" and was able to place an order.

Thanks guys!
