Tim, I do have to resent that some "party leaders" will have the pleasure of skimming the cream off cartons of brand new Carbines, undiscovered Collector and Correct Grade rifles and perhaps seeing the, and I quote, "new, unissued and complete M1D rifles" that CMPicon has on hand. They put one out to sell at the South store, but I think a citizen may have gotten it, as there were no more when employees were asked. Guess some more will be "discovered" next September as the cartons are opened.

I had one guy brag to me that he personally carried off "as new" items (his words, not mine) when he used to "volunteer" was CMP South, apparently at bargain basement prices. And, the North Store had to let it's volunteers go several years ago when they were pulling valuable parts off rifles and selling them on the open market.
