Hey, I heard some rumors a couple months ago that the CMP was selling M1 Carbines really cheap recently, is that true? I suppose their stock is depleted by now, but I was wondering if the stock is sold out, are the prices still good?
I'm not really interested in buying one, or saving up for one, but I was thinking that ifnow's the time they'll be as cheap as they'll ever be, would it be something to consider seriously, even though I wasn't planning to buy any M1 for some time from now? I'm basically wondering if I can't afford not to look into getting one now, or should I be rest assured that M1 Carbine's prices aren't going anywhere but gradually up, as usual.
On a side note, I would like to know if now's a price slump in M1 Garands as well.
Am I just being delusional that a "price slump" for any M1 exists? I just thought it would, like, something would stimulate M1 prices to drop at gun shows and such.
I won't be able to buy any such weapon till next year in the fall earliest, most likely, unless I find a good summer job.
check out http://www.centerfiresystems.com the carry all kinds of firearms. They have 22lr m16's for $160 that catch my eye, I have seen m1's in there flier every once and while. but I don't seen any on there site, but I think I seen m1 stocks,

Depends on what you mean by "really cheap", I guess! I bought one thru the NRA in 1964 for $20.00.CMP is selling them for somewhere in the $500.00+ range! They are WORTH the $20.00. But I would look at $500 bucks a long time before I pooped it off on a damn M1 Carbine!

I agree 100% with El D. Waaaaay too expensive. These prices 2 years ago would be for a correct grade or collector grade. These rifles came back from Italy on lend lease.....they are mixmasters, that chances are, were abused. These prices are just foolish.....but, if you want one for your collection, you better get in line now. I can see spending 6-700 for a Garand, however, these prices are rediculous. Regards, Rick.
Garand prices aren't going to slump anytime soon if ever
$500 for a carbine is a bit steep for a relatively inaccurate rifle of limited use ( people do buy mini-14s I guess)- but then again there are enough people out there that "just got to have them" to buy every carbine CMP has on the first day each lot is offered.

I know! Some people just have more money than sense!
