Carbine value..Where will it go?

[imarangemaster]

As for the future of ammo, I have everything I need to hardcast bullets and reload for my AK, and am acquiring the stuff to reload hardcast for the carbine.

Good move.

Thanks Don,

Can you tell me more about your custom mold from LEE? I like their molds, and I will be hardcasting linotype/wheel weight and won't need gas checks.

Thanks

I'm not ready to give up on CMP Carbines , or Garands , or ammo. The folks in Anniston have come through before. Commercial imports are another source.

The imports from the ROK might stabilize prices.
640,000 little brown guns is a lot -- maybe the largest number to ever be released to the North American market during a ten year period.
I think it's a good thing. More carbines , more better.
YMMV.

Go with the gas checks, and get Richard Lee's Book on Reloading.
He has bunch of info on cast.
As far as Korean guns that is still pending, US Army asked where the guns were
that were loaned to them, they said they rusted away..

On secound thought some of my coolest guns I bought from people selling them because there kids did not want them. The original owner of my 1963 1911A1 NM sold his stuff because "My kid would rather wear a skirt than shoot guns". I am happy with it though.

Bernie,

Go to CastBoolits.com and inquire about the group buy .30 Carbine mould. I believe there is a 2nd order in with Lee for the same mould I got. For special order moulds, there is a minimum number of moulds (25?) that must be ordered, and they usually have a couple moulds ordered that are not spoken for. The nice thing about the .30 Carbine is that the normal operating velocity is not high enough that you need a gas check, IF you cast them hard with linotype or monotype.
