Yippee!

Got a call from CMP sales department in Anniston today about my racker Inland order. I forgot to fill in one blank, and they wanted the info:
1) Yes, I will be getting an Inland, as they still have enough (though I would not wait long if you want one, they are running low on all carbines)
2) It should be sent to be filled tomorrow, and I should have it within a week.

Not bad, just about 5 weeks from sending the order in.

I am not terribly patient, and waiting has been heck! Worth it, though, to get a piece of History directly from the government. I have ammo, a GI sling, oiler, Type one (stock) pouch, and a stack of GI mags waiting for it.

Now I have problem. I will have two GI carbines. Do I get an Erma 22 carbine I am looking at, or a cheap 1911a1 .45? Right now, I am leaning towards Erma for cheap shootining carbine fun. My 10-22 is just not the same, even with a 30 round magazine.

Rangemaster,

that are good news! And nice problems that you have! If i were you i`ll take the Erma and look a little longer for an good 1911A1. I made the best deals on guns when i was waiting and say to myself: One day i`ll get one no hurry!

Ich wünsche Dir alles Gute bei deiner Suche nach einer 1911!!!

Best Regards

Gunner

That is great news! That is great service too!

RM,

Congrats!!! I know you have been looking forward for this for a while.

My 2 cents? Well, we all have our lists of "the next gun", but I would actually wait until you get your Inland in your hands. You may decide to use your extra cash to invest in fixing up your new toy. You may want to replace the stock, need some different parts or do a refinish job - all based on your desires... besides, rushing out to buy a new toy may just take something away from the Inland. Savor the moment - like children, the next one will come soon enough.

Vielen Danke, Herr Gunner! Vieleicht ich werde der Erma erste zu kaufen!

After all, it would be cheaper to shoot than either the carbine or the 1911. No hurray, though. As it was pointed out, I plan on enjoying the Inland. I asked for flat bolt, Inland barrel, and GI stock.

Rangemaster,

if there were not the problems with the im-/export i have a Erma in good condition for €50 wich is $75 and a Carbine from a gun-club comrade, but i have to look from wich maker it is. Bad thing such laws, tststs!

Was ist los Herren? Sprechen Sie Englisch? :rofl:
Dies ist eine Englisch sprechende Karabiner-Forum. Verstehen Sie? :lol:

As long as its not Kanji, I kind of enjoy ciphering out them thar "furrin" posts.:confused::lol:

Hahaha!

CAFDFW,

Ich weiss nicht das sie Deutsch sprechen!!

OK, we'll be good, won't we Gunner! It's just that I haven't had a chance to use my German since I went to Oesterreich (Austria) 2 1/2 years ago. It had deteriorated badly in the last 40 years from dis-use!

I know what you mean. I took high school 'Deutsch' and all the way through college but it sure gets away from you after 30 years of non-use.

I can barely make out any spoken German now. I guess I should have taken Spanish!

Learning a foreign language is so HARD! Do you know they have a different word for almost everything?

Hi rangemaster and Harlan,

what should i say... i feel like beeing at home with you. Gentleman, your German skills are really good:bow: I hope that my english is as good as your german! But dont be afraid this will be a english forum now and in future. Although eventually will you learn some bavarian slang than it couldt be that it maybe .......:madsmile:

Funny with you, i like it!:beerchug:

All the best

Gunner

Thank you, Gunner. You are too kind. I guarantee your English is much better than my German. What is Bayerisch slang for "friends"?

Hi Bernie,

the bavarian slang is a very special form of the german language. I speak the Allgäu-slang and it is a bit more special. So if you hear a guy speaking that way: "Na gang i scho seit schtunda dur dia gegend und`s leit allat no koi bier it" ( now i am going since hours through the landscape, and i have not getting a beer til now! Wich is really bad for an bavarian:() than you can be sure to hear an Allgäuer-Bavarian.:lol:
So if you like to learn Bavarian let know! But that is really hard!

Best regards

Ulrich ( Total bavarian native)

Good grief!

That certainly isn't the Hoch Deutsch I learned in school! That is as bad as when I went to mass on Easter Sunday in Salzburg, Austria! I thought he was talking Polish, but it was just the local dialect! The only words I understood were "Hoelle" (hell) "Tuefil" (devil) and "Geben Sie Geld" (give money!). Clergy are the same all over the world!:rofl::rofl:

Yes, you`re right with that! Clergy is all the same. BTW i wrote that a comrade want to sell a carbine. At wich things have i to look for that i get an good one? Are there special parts on wich i should have an eye?

Regards

Ulrich

MAKE and SERIAL No RANGE: marked on receiver
BARREL:all markings to see if original to receiver
STOCK: style and cartouches
REAR SIGHTS AND BARREL BAND. Is it post rebuild or original configuration.

Pictures help, also.

...what do people in Berlin call themselves ? I am refering to Pres. Kennedy's famous donut remark. Thanks , Chris

Gunner,

Wouldn't that be "Ich bin AUS Berlin"? JFK looked nothing like a doughnut to me!:rofl:

Rangemaster;

JFK said " Ich bin ein Berliner!" and i found a translation from the Arab Airlines wich descriped Berlin and translated JFK as follows : I am a doughnut ! So i fell from my stool by reading this. I have to look after the flyer its amazing.

Regards

Gunner

Rangemaster,

thanks for your advices on the carbine, i`ll look for pics.

Regards

Gunner
