    Change of Interest/M1/M1 Carbine

    Gentlemen,
    Since CMPicon is almost out of M1icon Garands, do you think that the interest will shift from the M1 Garand to the M1 Carbine? Do many of you think of buying just one Carbine or go for a group of them, as was done with the M1 Garand? I know the money problem will enter into this, but I would like to hear what you guys think.
    Thanks again
    Clancy

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.  I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!).  CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    Yes, I much prefer the m1 carbine, both my great granfather and my granfather had m1 carbines during the war. Im certain you would have lots of interesting information.

    EDITED to add, us canucks will likely not be buying m1 carbines from the US, since the prices are higher down south, and import fees would only make even more expensive. However, demand and intrest in the m1 carbine is just as high here as demand is for m1 garands, IMHO.
