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

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.
