1. These barreled receivers are sold as is, with all faults and with no warranties, express or implied.
CMP AND THE CORPORATION FOR THE PROMOTION OF RIFLE PRACTICE AND FIREARMS SAFETY
MAKE NO WARRANTIES EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ALL
WARRANTIES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCT.
2. Barreled receivers of any kind should not be assembled into operational rifles except by a
competent gunsmith. The Purchaser of every used rifle should have the rifle examined by a
competent gunsmith to determine whether the rifle is safe to shoot.
3. These barreled receivers in particular are sold as a collectors item only and are not intended for
assembly into operational rifles by anyone.
4. Shooting an operational rifles assembled from these barreled receivers can be dangerous to a
shooter's life, limb and property, and may result in death or serious injury to the shooter or to
bystanders or both.
5. The United States Navy converted some of these barreled receivers from 30-06 caliber to 7.62
x 51 by inserting a sleeve into the 30-06 chamber. NUMEROUS incidents of ejection of such
sleeves with an ejected empty 7.62 x 51 case have been reported. Chambering a 7.62 x 51
round into a 30-06 chamber may create a dangerous and deadly situation in which hot gasses
under high pressure may be blown back towards the shooter. Other dangerous conditions
may result in death or injury to anyone shooting, or near the rifle when it is shot. Additionally,
7.62 rounds might double feed with the second round being projectile to primer of the first
round.
6. Dangerous and deadly situations may occur when a round other than one specified for the
chamber of firearm is fired in any firearm. The rifle itself could blow up and cause serious injury
or death to a shooter or observer and could also result in property damage.
7. Some 7.62x51 ammunition may have been stored or manufactured improperly and when fired
may result in higher than normal pressures which might exceed the pressures for which M1
Garands were designed.
8. Navy Garands with 7.62MM barrels have generally slightly longer chambers. The use of
commercial .308 ammunition in such rifles is dangerous and may result in serious injury or
death.
9. For all of the above reasons, anyone purchasing one of the 7.62 barreled receivers agrees that
he/she will NOT assemble the receiver into an operable firearm.
