CMP M1 Carbines

[jmikey]

I took the plunge last week and sent the papers for an M1 Carbine from CMP. Couldn't believe the response they got! Just got notified today that they opened my order received on 4/30. Many people were not happy with their pricing but I haven't found anything locally as good. If you want one don't wait, it appears they will not last too long.

Cool ! !

Can't wait to see pics from you!!

[jmikey]

I will post pics Ron. I had one years ago but of course it's gone. The prices on the net and at nearby show are unreal.

i found the paper work i had filled out last month laying on the desk. i looked in the safe again and if i turned the rifle upside down i think i can get 1 more in there,, so i went and got it noterized and got a money order and sent it in.......:jumping:

yea, like i really needed another one...........:America:

[jmikey]

As the song goes, "Might as well face it, you're addicted to ----". They don't make them these days and they ain't gonna get cheaper!

i know, but i already have between 60 and 100 in storage, plus what i have here. i really did not need another one, but....:wtfflag: ...........:056: :icon_confused:

[jmikey]

All I can say Ron is, "over", I understand!

[cbear]

...They don't make them these days...

Actually Kahr/AO does make them. I've never heard if they're GI spec or not however.

[jmikey]

Kahr does make them but they are not GI and have very mixed reviews. Pricewise, they are up there also. Not sure, but I believe they are cast vs milled. That's not necessarily all bad. My M1A is close but it is not an M14.

I beleive you might mean the are cast vs forged, both need to be milled after either process. The thought is that forged metal has better grain structure due to the hot process molding the metal by the forging hammers.

[jmikey]

You are right okie! I need another glass of something with alcohol in it. An old shipyard type shouldn't make that error.

[Milsurp]

Hey jmikey when did you send your order out. I sent mine out saturday snail mail and have not heard anything. I'm over in the Tampa area.

[jmikey]

Last Friday via snail mail. I just got a notification they had the order today about noon. Mine was received on Monday at CMP. I understand they had approx. orders received on Monday.

[jmikey]

That approx. number is 3,000.

[Jacobite]

Wish I had the extra cash. I would love to have an M1 Carbine but just can't fit one in the budget

Jacobite, as you read above, the usgi ones are doing nothing but growing in value. Thus unless cmp or some other importer finds a stash, they aing getting any cheaper, so if you want one I would try to get one now.

Heck selling blood and other bodly fluids might get you there, hmmm 50-100 a week depending on where you live for plasama, oh well heck you get the idea. JK! :)

[Jacobite]

Yes I know they are not getting any cheaper. I just figure they are one rifle I can live without. Any time I miss not having one I will just shoot one of my Garands.

[Milsurp]

Hey jmikey have you heard anything else from CMP. I got my we got your order on 4/30 on 5/11. Haven't heard anything else since. Anybody else get one yet? They look pretty nice from the pictures I've seen on the CMP forum.

[rustypirate]

Last I saw, they had completely sold out in like 4 days. It looks like I will not get one this go around, maybe next time.

[Tread_Head]

Can't wait to see the pictures/range report of your carbine! I really wanted to get one from CMP, but my PCS orders came in and I will have to move soon. :062: Oh well, I guess there are always gun shows...though I haven't been able to find a 100% Winchester which is what I want for the collection.

[jmikey]

My order just got posted today. Hopefully I will see the carbine in the next week! I will post pics when it gets to me.

[Milsurp]

Ron go to the CMP website and go to the estore. If you've never been there you'll have to register. After you log in go to pending orders. If your lucky it'll be there. There have been reports about being on there with no emails after the first one.

[jmikey]

I got the first email from them back on 4 May and it just showed up as an open order yesterday. No other email for me yet.

[jmikey]

CMP Carbine coming in the morning! Film at Eleven! Well, pictures sometime tomorrow at least!

[jmikey]

Pictures as promised. Just out of the box. I'm pleased!

Not a damn thing wrong with that Carbine! Looks damn good Mike. I'm going to have no choice but to order one I see. Is that stock a replacement or an original USGI?

[weasel_master]

Dang nice carbine.

[jmikey]

Stock is a replacement Italian FAT stock. Not the strongest barrel I've ever seen but should be a good shooter. It should clean up very nicely.

[jmikey]

I am very pleased. Luck of the draw. I have seen some pics that were not nearly as nice. I quit depending on luck a long time ago, cause if it was a waste product, I would be terminally constipated. This time it was better than usual. I will take what I can get! Hope yours is better!
Mike

[Milsurp]

She's a beauty mike. Congrats. I hope mine looks as good as that. I'm still playing the waiting game. I hope it brings you plenty of good shoot'n.

[jmikey]

Took it to the range today and put 45 rounds downrange and it was flawless. It's a keeper! Had two offers to buy it while I was there. It's not going anywhere!

[jmikey]

You just can't have enough guns or ammunition! Hope you get a goodie!

[jmikey]

Roger that! My better half really likes this carbine and I think it will belong to her eventually. Not however till I am horizontal forever! She is a better pistol shot than I am but still needs to work on the rifle thing!

[jmikey]

Just an update! Took the new baby to the range yesterday and she was flawless through 45 rounds. Accuracy was good at 50 yds but need to tweak it a little. Used Wolf Steel so I think it will do better with brass which is on order! Cleaned her up and she is still sexy! This is my rifle....................!

[okie shooter]

How did you like the wolf, did it seem harsh on the action or parts. I have half a case of the stuff in addition to boxes of other stuff(mostly armscorps and white box winchester and federal) but have thought of getting more of it.

[jmikey]

It didn't seem too bad to me okie but I didn't have any other brass at the time to compare it with. Seems everyone around here was out of Carbine ammo. Got a case on order, then we will check it out again.

[weasel_master]

Where did you order your ammo from?

[jmikey]

Ammo To Go weasel master. It was the LC remanufactured stuff and it doesn't show up on the website now, I might have gotten some of the last they had.

[Darkwatch]

That's one pretty rifle...I really like the stock coloration! A carbine (M1) is on my short list. Looks like you got a beut of a shooter there!

[mofocus]

dang i needs me some carbine lovin

[Anthropy]

My buddy collector received his and he said the action / metal was in perfect shape, but the wood was butt ugly and abused. He ended up replacing the stock with another he had.

[Milsurp]

Here's the one I got. It has a 3xx,xxx serial. Metal is clean, wood has a few nicks and dents. I'm happy. It is 10x better than the garand I got a year ago

[jmikey]

Very nice looking carbine Milsurp! I've had a blast (pun intended) shooting mine so far.

[drine]

You hit the jackpot Planning. Do you think you will shoot it?

[jmikey]

Beautiful carbine Ron! I took mine out yesterday and am still amazed at how accurate it is at 100 yds. My old eyes ain't that good! Shoot it!

[Seattlefungus]

Man, You are blessed! That is the nicest M1 carbine I have ever seen! You should go and buy some lotto tickets!!
:thumbup::thumbup:

[M1 Tanker]

Planning thats a damn nice looking carbine. We expect a range report on that baby!

[okie shooter]

Planning, that thing looks like it sat in a box or a rack since its last rebuild, sweet!

[robocop10mm]

Does anyone know if they have any left? I got bitten by the Carbine bug long ago but, it just started to itch today.

[jmikey]

Inlands are sold out. Underwoods are scheduled to go on sale 9/4 at the moment but there are only 3K of them and they will go fast. Go to odcmp.com for info.

[jmikey]

Beautiful! If your picture was in between them it would be a "ThRON" between two roses. :wink:

[KnobCreek]

Got my Inland from the CMP on the very first day that they were available. Hate the rifle...only because it shoots like a .22 so I tend to shoot several 100 rounds before I know it and have to go out and purchase more ammo. ;)

BTW, Underwoods are suppose to be available be the end of this month/early next month, but they only have around 3200 of them. Not sure if they'll only be offered online or if I can drive up to the store and handpick one out.

[mwarren2]

My wife's 1944 Inland with an 11/44 Underwood replacement barrel.

[knockonit]

CMP posted they have a few more inlands comoing up for sale via mail order or at the store somewhere around three hundred plus, probably wont last long, but get your name in the hat anyway, they;ll put you on alist for the future to fill as they come up, supposedly you can get more than one.
