    High number M1A1's on CMP auction...

    I just saw the new listing of "buy it now" M1A1icon's on the CMPicon auction.

    6,638,056

    6,712,255

    these are some pretty high numbers for M1A1 arent they? Any thoughts besides "they can't be original" or might these actually be? It seems to me that these are above most of the serial numbers I see quoted here for this variant.

    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 ...

    m1 carbine watime production by Riesch states the second run serial numbers from 5,000,000-6250,000. Think you are right seems high. THANKS FOR YOUR SERVICE, Len

    I've had mine for a lot of years and it's a 674XXXX with a barrel date of 1-45 and a hand stamped 1 on the receiver. It's all Inland and it has all the proper Inland parts and an I-O stock and handguard and the correct cartouches and late features, ie: low wood, flip safety and bayonet lug. Is it original? I have absolutely no clue as to th e answer. All I can say is it's certainly worth the $250 I paid for it all those years ago.

    It is possible 6,638,056 could have left Inland as an M1A1icon but not 6,712,255.
