Starting February 1st they will start selling M1 Carbines for $625/wo magazine
Oh shit time to double down and buy one.
Neat!
On a related note are service grade garands still coming with new cmp stocks?
My wife and I are both ordering one.
>>28719018
They are only allowing you to buy one per year so hopefully they'll last for awhile
>>28719045
I'm glad, too many old faggots buying up all the garands to scalp
>>28719045
Sounds like they're going to be doing it by drawing lots. Don't think they'll last that long.
Where'd they come from?
>>28719018
gonna get mine in April!
>>28719107
They have always had M1 Carbines but only enough to sell in their online auctions. I guess they found a good pile of them in the warehouse
fuck, my membership is already lapsed. And CA changed laws since last i ordered so it either has to go through an 01 ffl, or i need to get a COE and 03 ffl.
I guess i'll wait and see if i move later this year. if there are some left, i'll grab one. I already have an M1 carbine, but it's Thai police, not usgi.
As an owner of a WWII surplus M1 Carbine, have fun getting ammo, fuckboys.
>>28719469
yeah, becuase 35-40ish cpr ppu or armscor or aguila isn't common as fuck online, right?
>>28719469
Auto ordinance made repros in .44 mag that looked pretty cool.
>tfw no cmp clubs/organizations around
>>28719483
oh, and don't forget steel cased tula for like 30cpr as well.
And handloading 30 carbine is cheap as dirt now that components are available again
>>28719497
join the GCA online
But what about the fucking 1911s?
>>28719513
everyone ran away after the ball park 1K for the lowest grade estimate.
And no guarantee that they'll be released to cmp still
>>28718985
[citation needed]
Not that I don't believe you, I just wanna read it myself.
Garands are cool but I don't see the allure of these.
>>28719537
CMP just sent an email blast.
Or just go to the damn website yourself.
>>28719539
They're like really big pistols.
>>28719509
HAHAHAH WE FREEDOM NOW
Thanks Anon
>>28719539
well, they're light and fun to shoot.
ammo is cheaper than 30-06 as well. Surplus 30-06 is like what from cmp now? 60ish cents a round?
I just got one for 490, mag included and with the cannon stamp on the stock. The only missing thing is the sling... on this matter, how is the surplus market for M1 carbine slings and mag pouches?
>>28719469
I can't swing a dead cat without hitting 9 fucking crates of 30 carbine in my area
>>28719469
Mad cuz bad
>>28719529
The law passed and they are going to the CMP according to their newsletter

I'm filling out my paperwork now.
If you've ordered recently do you still need to send a copy of your passport?
>>28719660
Secretary of the Army has not released them yet, no guarantee that they will be, and even if released, not all 10k a year is guaranteed either.
im personally not that interested anymore due to their projected pricing.
>>28718985
>>28719469
>EU here
I see a lot of complaining about ammo shortage or i can't find X ammo anyway.
is this just people that are cheap and don't want to pay more then what they ones did in 2004?
>tfw no .22lr Shortage at all in sweden.
>Bought 5000 CCI standard for 221$
>>28718985
WHY ARE THESE CHEAPER THAN 1911S
>>28719698
Notary, passport etc is good for 3 years once it is on file.
FUCK
I just bought one from them last summer for 950$
>>28718985
Why are m1 carbines such a big deal?
Yesterday i saw my local Fred Meyer has one for like $435
>>28719748
>anon being smug about buying .22
>overpaying +10cpr for .22lr
Typical. Even moreso how it's a swede of all people. You're a literal cuck and you don't even know it you idiot.
>>28719858
Military surplus ones are more expensive then the reproduction Universal ones. So yeah you saw one for 400$, but it was a repro.
>>28719828
Becaues they're harder to cc
>>28719858
>$435
Either not a real carbine, beat to shit or the deal of the fucking century.
Most likely a shitty universal.
>>28719858
>Yesterday i saw my local Fred Meyer has one for like $435
Either that was a .22 lr or 9mm repro or really great deal that you should go back and check out. The cheapest M1 carbines in .30 carbine on the internet right now are around $630.
>>28719448
you can send it to a relative's house out of state if you want to.
When I get my cmp carbine, where should I get my slings/mags etc from?
>>28719939
A warehouse in worst korea
>>28719939
You want a carbine? AND Magazines?
Good luck. Surplus ones are fucking expensive and commercial ones suck
>>28719939
Arfcom EE is one of the best sources of small parts
>>28719873
>>+10¢ a round lol
It's 4¢ retard.
am I the only /k/ommando that doesn't give a shit about m1 carbines? I like garands and mausers and shit. But carbines just don't have any appeal to me.
>>28720175
yes
>>28718985
Starting February 1st ...
So should I fill it out now and mail it out knowing it won't get there until the 1st anyway?
Or does it need to be post marked 02/1 or later?
Should I mail out now or later?
In for a new M1, filling out the paperwork now.
>>28720201
mail it later. that way mine will beat yours there.
>>28718985
Where are the surplus M1911's?
>>28720230
Later this year and only for collectors who are a bit short on cash.
>>28720155

>believing Obama actually would authorize the SecDef to release fully semi automatic hand GUN babby killers to the CMP.
>>28720401
Crap shoot on providence and most likely rattled out. Could be wrong but many people who were issued them had similar things to say.
>>28720418
It was snuck in a spending bill.
CMP refurbs and test fires them all. Also a little rattle = dependable.
>>28718985
I bought my NPM M1 for $800. Even though most of the finish is gone, the barrel might as well be new and everything else is good.
Probably going to send it to Schuff's to get it reparked.
>>28720464
>Crap shoot on providence and most likely rattled out.
are you on drugs?
how bout saying something comprehensible.
>>28720523
Why are you in a thread where you don't want to read the posts?
Do you go to the store and try on ill fitting ugly clothes just because they're there?
So very, very salty.
>>28720523
Why are you even here if you don't care about weapons and the related.
>>28720523
yeah, why would you care about getting a good price on a desirable gun in good condition?
>>28720523
Me. I care
>Service and Field Grade only
>Paying ~$700 for a luck of the draw M1 in *maybe* halfway decent condition
Pass.
Are there 10rd mags for these?
I live in Jew York.
>>28720575
this.
I had a buddy who ordered a "service" grade M1917 Enfield and the thing was beat to shit, barely any rifling left in the bore and serious pitting.
Fuck the CMP, the fact they charge $600 for a beat to shit gun like that is disgusting.
>>28720575
>in *maybe* halfway decent condition
confirmed for having never bought from cmp
>implying i wan't a non-para m1
>>28720487
I don't doubt they are in shootable condition but for the price it really isn't anything but a collector's peice
>>28720464
And obviously you didn't read the bill. Those 1911s are going nowhere under Obama's watch.
>>28720523
All those posters, evidently
>>28720622
grades are mostly decided on throat and muzzle erosion.
>>28720622
I don't have anything against the CMP, they're usually pretty great, but these M1s just aren't a good deal.
For $800-1,000 it's not difficult to find a WWII/Korea M1 in pretty damn good condition, well above CMP field/service grade, on gunbroker or locally if you're patient and poke around.
Unless I just purely wanted a beater M1 that I didn't care about, these CMP guns have no real appeal to me.
>>28720626
I've purchased 2x from the CMP, both Garands, and both are well described by the CMP's official descriptions.
~$600-700 for a mishandled M1 with who knows what foreign stamps on it and with a questionable degree of pitting and corrosion is a poor deal, at least for me.
But you go on and enjoy your poorfag special.
>>28720609
only commercial ones. the only one which seems to not suck are the keep shooting ones, but i've not tried myself
Got my order in for a Service, holding my breath. In the mean time I'm going to dream of an IBM carbine.
Any ideas where these came from? I was under the impression the Korean guns went to the moderate and secular head choppers in Syria.
>>28720706
strange how every WWII/Korea M1 carbine on scumbroker is around 1000 atm...
>>28720720
Korea guns are still in warehouse, frozen except the water that apparently is making then rust to shit while the gooks don't give a single damn
>>28720311
5000 rounds for $221 comes out to $0.04/round, dumbass
Whats the cheaped .30 carbine around? I only see ~.44 cents per round, which seems like a lot
How much are mags, either 15 or 30?
So whats the process for this? Anyone have the old guides?
I know that you need to be a member of a collectors club like GCA and have some paperwork that shows you know to handle guns. Is that about it? Anything else missing?
>>28720863
Same process.
>>28720886
What about the marksmanship or other firearm related activity requirement?
>>28720849
.40ish per round for Aguila some places. Not too bad for a round that you shoot occasionally. If you want to dump thousands of rounds down an M1, get an Auto Ordnance, or better yet a newer and better gun. Personally, I'll put a few boxes down it per year alongside the big sister I got from the CMP, and give it to a son someday
Commercial mags are cheap and under $20, USGIs are cheapish. Maybe $30 or $35
>>28718985
Neat, it even fires a straight wall pistol like cartridge that would be cheap and easy to reload for.
>look up load data
>only load data for 4 powders online due to how picky the thing is so would really need to stock up in case of a panic instead of just switching to a different powder
>stretches the shit out of cases to the point where people trim the cases every 1-2 loads after sizing
>cases need to be lubed even if you're using carbide dies
>ends up costing $.22 per round to reload plus extra PITA vs regular pistol cartridges
>new brass cased ammo starts at $.32
Well... Okay, looks like I won't be reloading for that if I do get one.
>magazines are hit and miss
>requires club membership that brings the price up another $30
>gun apparently isn't that reliable in general
Damn, I've always thought it would be cool to have an M1 carbine, but at this point why shouldn't I get an AR-15 instead? $655-$715 could buy a decent AR.
>>28720810
where are you finding 5000 rounds for $221?
>>28721039
>cases need to be lubed even if you're using carbide dies
what
I thought lubing cases was only necessary for bottlenecked cartridges
I guess the length can result in enough friction to get the case stuck. That's lame.
>only load data for 4 powders online

>>28718985
My great uncle killed 3 gooks with his M1 carbine in 'Nam. Now I want one.
>>28721095
SR-4756 was discontinued and N110 powder (and anything made by VihtaVuori) is hella expensive. I was actually able to find load data for 6 different powders online but 2 of those were discontinued. Brings it up to 7 different powders total or 8 if you count the N110 though.
How do I order this? Halp
>>28721311
An older Hornady manual says W296 and H110 work as well, which is what I expected since IMR 4227 is used with them in .300BLK. That also implies Lil Gun works as well.
>>28721438
Hodgdon lists load data for W296 and Lil Gun on their website.
Now if only those 1911s would show up so I can order all 3 at once

Crap, forgot to list people reporting 4"-6" groups at 100 yards when shooting from a rest.
can i rechamber this m1 carb to fire 7.62 x 39?
>>28721603
No, 7.62x39 is much higher pressure than .30 carbine.
get a Mini-30, it's pretty much the same thing. Or an SKS
I did a Google search and turned up a ton of people whining about these not being left handed. I just want to know if there is a left stock somewhere I haven't looked yet. Just for sling purposes. Otherwise I'll deal.
>>28719469
>buying a used gun
Califag here, I bet you guys all buy your guns at walmart and at pawnshops . If you guys had some real money and wanted a real m1 carbine then you would get a Fulton Armory but then again most people on this board are a bunch of poor degenerates that dont own any worthy guns if any at all

So can I mail in my order now or do I wait a couple days before feb? Also do these rifles have the same issue as the Garands do about modern ammo?
Damn no magazine provided with the rifle though.

they start taking mail orders on Monday, and no they don't have the modern ammo issue.
>>28723161
>gondola

>>28722689
At least he's not a crossfitting vegan.
Ok so why are these so expensive? The good ones were obviously auctioned off so these are just the average/lower ones. After GCA,rifle ,shipping,and finding a usgi magazine I'm knocking on $800 's door. I want one and all but that's just outrageous. Glad I slept on it
Just sent out my order forms today, guaranteed to arrive Monday. See you fuckers in a month with an unboxing!
>>28726383
They probably don't have very many
anyone planning to go to the store February 4th? I know I'll run down there
Is there any membership that meets the cmps requirement that I could just print out instantly as proof?
The garand collectors association said it would take 4 weeks to be put in system.
>>28729728
Nope.
You can try, but the way the e-mail for M1 Carbines was written, seems like only repeat buyers have a real shot at them.
Still, do it. Think of the Garands an 1911s. And hell, maybe you'll get lucky an less people will go for the carbines than I think.

>>28719694
>NOTE: Carbines will not be sold or shipped with magazines, slings or oilers.
why?
>>28732666
