Got the email from CMP that all carbines are sold and I did not make the cut....Darn!

Greetings,

If you are receiving this email, we regret to inform you, you did not make the cut for the M1 Carbine you ordered thru CMP. We had over 8,000 orders and only a small number of Carbines. If you mailed in new information or are a new customer, we are in the process of updating those files. We have a large number of customers still to update, so please give us a couple of months before checking to see if your information has been updated.

We appreciate your support of CMP.

Thank you,

Mark Johnson
CMP Chief Operating Officer

Not taking maker requests, $625-$685 with no sling, oiler, or magazine. Adding those GI items could be around $75+ more. Maybe a birch stock and some foreign markings, basically just a shooter. What was the allure?

Shooters in my area sell for $850 to $1,000 with sling, oiler, and magazine, and usually a walnut stock. Some guys say less in different parts of the country.

Might find a carbine at a local store or gun show close to the same price range, and maybe better features.

I lucked out and got a sweet Underwood SA/SHM service grade for the $685. I dunno but it was pretty alluring to me:

Bring that over here, I just happen to have a small cache of carbine ammo too...

I'll keep an eye pealed locally and to your point something may show up....however if you have one or two carbines for $625-$685 each let me know :)
