Looking for the perfect conversation starter at your next gun show or range day? The Sell Me Your M1 Garand At CMP Prices Or Else Shirt is designed specifically for the dedicated M1 Garand enthusiast who knows the struggle of finding surplus rifles at reasonable rates.
Sell Me Your M1 Garand At CMP Prices Or Else I’m telling the ATF Shirt – A Tribute to the Garand Hunter
The shirt is a humorous nod to the specific frustrations and strategies of modern firearms collecting. The M1 Garand, often called the “greatest battle implement ever devised,” is a highly coveted piece of history. However, the price gap between the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP) and the private “scalper” market is a well-known pain point for enthusiasts. This shirt takes that frustration and turns it into a hilarious, bold statement.
The text on the shirt—”Sell me your M1 Garand at CMP Prices or else I’m telling the ATF You’re reselling firearms without a FFL license“—plays on the complex legal landscape of gun collecting (specifically Section 921(a)(21) of Title 18) while poking fun at those looking to flip surplus rifles for quick profit. It’s satire, it’s strategy, and it’s a badge of honor for anyone who knows the true value of a rack-grade vs. a service-grade rifle.

Why The Shirt Went Viral?
This CMP Ultimatum Shirt exploded across forums and social media because it perfectly encapsulated the collective frustration of the firearms community regarding the secondary market. Memes regarding “scalpers” buying up CMP stock to resell at double the price have circulated for years; this shirt turned that meme into a wearable reality. It went viral because it was relatable, specifically citing the legal code (Title 18) that scares “flippers,” making it not just a joke, but a “power move” that collectors wished they could actually pull off in real life.
