    Do not expect to see any really decent carbines coming out of Korea. The ones being release for sale were also well used. A line over on CMPicon forum sometime ago said that CMP had looked at them and rejected them because of poor condition. It is still a second line weapon over there and yes they still have them in drums stored away but those are not the ones being sold. These might even make the Blue Skys look good. Only way to tell for sure is to wait till they appear here but don't ho;d your breath looking for CMP quality.

    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 ...

    Speaking of CMPicon carbines, they are drying up. Over on the CMP Carbine forum, someone posted that they were called and told that Inland Rackers are sold out now. I am sure glade I got mine when I did! A little voice in my head told me that it was too good a thing to last~!

    I take that to mean the US government or some agency thereof.

    Sold, means NOT CMPicon. Returned to the US gov. might mean CMP, but not SOLD. CMP disposes of surplus GOVERNMENT property. They do not BUY anything except ammo and some accessories.
    When they tell you to behave, they always forget to specify whether to behave well or badly!
