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.

Any info will be appreciated.
