My Three Carbines
I recently picked up a CMP Rock-ola and have been swapping/trading parts to bring it back to semi-original configuration. It goes with my CMP Inland and the nearly original National Postal Meter I bought from a dealer last February.
From top to bottom: CMP Inland, National Postal Meter, and CMP Rock-ola.

Re: My Three Carbines
Nice collection, I recently acquired my first M-1 carbine from CMP south.

Re: My Three Carbines
Sweet! My Rock-ola came from the North Store - got the Inland in the Great CMP Mail Rush.

Re: My Three Carbines
Cost will depend on the condition and degree of "correctness." Rock-ola made only about 230,000 of the total 7+ million carbines made. CMP has about 1200 to sell from the ones returned by Italy last year. They are all mixmasters. Price for a service grade was $675 and they sold out in a day.
Prices at shows are going up but you can still find some good deals. $600 to $800 is still possible. Gun Broker is another source but you'll ay a bit more. Like anything collectible - the longer you wait, the more it will cost. Carbines were relatively cheap ten years ago. Over the last year they have become increasingly popular - to some degree because of the decrease in Garands available - and the prices have gone up, too.
