I received it. Yes, a few were buying many, many parts every day.

If you look on ebay, the number of people selling enbloc clips, tools, parts, etc is astounding. I imagine a fair amount of this was bought from the CMP.
AMMUNITION UPDATE. The CMP has been notified by ammunition manufacturers and distributors to expect price increases and significant delivery delays for all calibers of ammunition, especially for .22 rimfire. The price increases and delays apply to orders we have already placed with the manufacturers. Prior to 2013 CMP received deliveries of truckloads of ammo within a few weeks of placing orders. We are now being advised, as in the case of Aguila .22, that it may take several years to receive all of the 35,000,000 rounds of Aguila ammo we have on order.
As a result of this situation, CMP has placed orders with several different manufacturers for large amounts of ammunition in various calibers. We expect to receive only a few pallets at a time because manufacturers and distributors are rationing the ammo to their customers. As we receive ammo, we will contact customers with oldest orders already in place with the option to purchase whatever we receive at the new prices, cancel the order, or remain on the list for the manufacturer they originally requested. All price increases to CMP will be passed on to the customer. CMP will not be profiting from the increase in prices.
We will continue to accept orders for ammunition, with the understanding that the wait time for customers between placing an order and receiving the ammunition may be anywhere from a few weeks to a few years. Most other retailers are in the same situation as the CMP. We suggest that customers leave their CMP orders in place and not cancel until they are able to purchase ammo elsewhere. CMP customers will be contacted as to pricing and manufacturer before any orders are filled. We do not expect to have any additional information until after the annual SHOT Show in mid January, when we will meet with all of the ammo manufacturers.
I've been sort of out of it in regards to the CMP for the last couple of years - what kind of Garand parts are they selling?
My home email has also been dead for a week - so I haven't seen the CMP updates.

Here is the CMP email that went out about parts:
M1 GARAND PARTS ORDER LIMITS. Effective immediately, CMP customers will be limited to purchasing no more than 6 of any M1 Garand part per calendar year (1 Jan – 31 Dec). We regret that we had to do this, but we had several customers attempting to purchase all of our inventory by submitting estore orders for 2 of each part, each day. The limit applies to 2013 also. Any estore orders received over the holiday period will not be processed if the customers have already exceeded in 2013 the limit of 6 for the part ordered. Estore will continue to accept orders until we get the applicable programming in place for the estore to automatically not accept those orders. Even though estore will accept the orders for the next few weeks, CMP staff will cancel the orders manually. Thanks for understanding that our intent is to provide a service to all 300,000 of our customers, not just a select few.
