Default M1 CARBINE

Heads up from CMP http://www.odcmp.com/rifles/carbine.htm

29 December, 2006. The Army has transferred to the CMP a significant quantity of M1 Carbines. We are currently processing these carbines through our Inspection & Repair operations and expect to have some ready for sale by 1 March, 2007, but it may be sooner. More information will be posted on this web page as it becomes available.

At this time no decisions have been made as to grading, pricing, or limits. We are not accepting orders or establishing waiting lists at this time!!

NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS AT THIS TIME!!

Thanks philly! I always wanted one, but they became too pricey for me. I hope these will be reasonably affordable.

Sweet... the M1 carbine was a great little gun, would be neat to own one. Hope the prices are reasonable.

Default Re: M1 CARBINE

my understanding is there will be @ 10,000 avaiable. that means a window of about 2 weeks before they are all gone. keep checking CMP weekly!!

dont beleve they can move 10,000 in 2 weeks?...............Watch them!!!

in the 60's, they moved about 200,000 in 2 months at $25 each. DO NOT expect this pricing for the current crop..

Its not the moving them that will take time - they need to go though each rifle to inspect / grade them.

I've heard around 32,000 and that they were from Italy. Guess we will know for sure soon enough. What we know for sure is that they will not be $ 25.

Well what's the point of getting excited about these if they're just going to be the same, or if not a steep supply and demand price?

CMP has always done a good job offering rifles at a fair price, especially compared to the crazy prices asked at gun shows.

Too early to know for sure what they will have and how much they will charge but the possibility of owning a piece of US history is worth looking forward to, at least for me.

Does anyone have any idea what these might go for?

What does an M1 carbine usually go for thru the CMP?

Do you mean they will have been used in war?
