I hope my order is there on Feb 01 because the mail will be pouring in. I went for a service grade for $685.00 shipped. Will be luck of the draw as to what mfg. you will get. So the wait will begin but that is part of the fun.:runaway:

I received the Email from CMP and thought " These guys are going to go nuts." and they did. I have all I need or want, two originals and a great shooter. I'd say that I'm saving my money for the 45s, but to pay $1K for a non- heat treated rattletrap like I had in Vietnam is not a good ROI.
I saw a video featuring Jerry Miculek. He said that the WW2 made pistols had only one heat treated part, the slide stop and were expected to last for 3-4K rounds before breaking. Now his late father in law and late B.I.L. the Clarks were pretty good 45 guys. I wonder if that is entirely true? I know that by 1945 Colt was heat treating slides. My F.Bob Chow gun was built on a 1945 made Colt, it was shot probably 50-75K or more when shot on the Army pistol team and it is so tight that you need tools to take it apart. So far from being worn out.
I don't need another carbine but I still mailed an order Friday. If I get lucky I hope it
will be a good shooter:thup:
My Express USPS order was signed for at 11:43 am 02/01/2016
They said on the CMP Facebook page that 23 tubs of mail had come in - SOLD OUT
Will just have to wait and see what happens.

Got interested in carbines a bit too late with the prices of late. USPS tracking indicates my name is in the hopper so perhaps I will get lucky and at least fill the carbine gap in my collection with a decient example.
Can you even imagine the hysteria the 1911s will generate?
I will not use USPS PRIORITY EXPRESS 1- Day again. The 1911s I will use FedEx.
Dick
I got two CMP M1 Garands, and both of them were quite good. I do not expect less from thew carbines.
Order aknowleged, the wait begins. Sold out the first day. Here is hoping the only aknowleged orders with sufficent quanities to fill.
Everybody should get a DBU...Quote:
