M1 Carbine- Rockola with DCM Documents : Curios & Relics at GunBroker.com
Do you guys think the claimed 1961 date of sale from the DCM is correct? I didn't realize any were sold that early. I've been trying to see the date on the documents pictured with no success. I hope someone gets it other than the current high bidder. - Bob
Good looking rifle, but I cant see it going up too much more
i zoomed in on my iphone, i think the reason that he is bidding is because i do not see any stake marks on the rear sight, just my opinion, also the print date on the receipt is !957
Looks like the "Department of Defense Form date is March 1957." I can't make out what is being shown for the "requisition date," it could mean 1957 - "shipping date" is blank isn't it? - Bob
Auction ended at $3075.00 with 43 bids.
I think that's nuts.
This makes me want to sell some, holy moly!
I'm sitting here with my mouth hanging open. Did the 2 folks who ran up the price understand that this is a mixed parts arsenal rebuild with an Underwood stock?
My recollection is that carbines were not offered until 1965. No slings or mags were available, but a 600 rd spam can of ammo was $24 + $6 for shipping by Railway Express. Orders were only accepted for a few months, when it dawned on someone at DOD that obsoleting them was a mistake, as the Viet Nam War was heating up & carbines were needed to arm the South Vietnamese Army. They continued to delivery all carbines for which orders had been accepted, even though it took a couple of years.

March 1957 is when the form was developed or revised not the ship date.

Wow !!!
If you think that's obscene wait until I get my pics posted of the standard products that I paid less than $600 for
Wow ! Thanks for the link, I saw one 2 weeks ago at a show, I'd guess 80% correct with no documentation for $1850. I thought that was high.

John,
The you are correct, the forum is for discussion. If you want to try and sell your carbine I suggest listing it in the Quartermasters Store.
