M1 Carbines at CMP
January 1st, 2007 by Syd
29 December, 2006. The Army has transferred to the CMP a significant
quantity of M1 Carbines. We are currently processing these carbines through
our Inspection & Repair operations and expect to have some ready for sale by
1 March, 2007, but it may be sooner. More information will be posted on this
web page as it becomes available.
At this time no decisions have been made as to grading, pricing, or limits.
We are not accepting orders or establishing waiting lists at this time!!
NOT ACCEPTING ORDERS AT THIS TIME!!

I ponder what the cost of one of these M1 Carbines would be. Say under or right at $300.00. Or would there be a rating system by year production, manufacture, and style.
I’ve been associated with the CMP for almost 10 years. I missed out on the Club Carbines from a few years ago, and I’m glad to see that the M1 Carbine will now be available. Price, last time was $350 and they only had some 3,000 available then. Most were still fresh from rebuild or like new condition. Orest Michaels from the CMP, IIRC claims ‘five digit’ quantities, so thats at least is 10,000. Other rumor sites claim 32,000 and these were returns from guns on loan to Italy.
I’m saving my pennies, and I hope these will be in the $300-$400 range, and broken down to sell by manufacturer and grades.
