Which CMP Carbine to buy next?

[jbrid]

I'm thinking about ordering another carbine from CMP. Looking at the web site today, my choices in service grade would be one of the following:

SG; Underwood; Quality Hardware

Of these, which is the most desirable and/or most collectible? Are any of these likely to be a better shooter than the others? Also, would it be worth considering buying a rack grade to save money?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Jim

Being rebuilt from CMP I don't know if any of them will be more collectible by value then another.

If it were me picking it would be:

1. The one in the best condition regardless of maker.

2. One I didn't already have.

3. By lower production amount.

Underwood...............about 9.0%
Saginaw S.G. ...........about 6.4%
Quality Hardware......about 5.8%

Everyone gets them for different reasons. You have to determine what yours are.

Good luck.

Quality. It is a little different with a springtube, and it is the least produced of the threee.

Thanks for the note. I didn't realize (or had forgotten) that Quality Hardware had used the springtube design throughout their production run.
