[A4sForever]

From the Civilian Marksmanship Program (a.k.a., CMP -- used to be the DCM) website:

M1C RIFLES TO BE AUCTIONED IN 2007 .... NEW IN WRAP GARANDS TO BE AUCTIONED ... New in wrap Garand/M1C auctions


M1903 AND M1903A3 RIFLES ALSO AVAILABLE through 2009 ....

And the best for last ... FINALLY !!! ....M1 CARBINES SOON TO BE AVAILABLE FROM THE CMP .... M1 Carbine information

A piece of history can still be had ....

This is a good heads up about a second chance for many...I almost waited too long and am happy every day that I got a nice Garand. The writing is on the wall for CMP rifles...DO NOT DELAY...

I'm just hoping they still have them on Feb 11th.

I want a 1903 and a Carbine. Perhaps a 1917 as well.

I was wondering when they were finally going to start selling those M1 carbines.. supposedly they have hundreds of them stock-piled away.

....M1 carbines.. supposedly they have hundreds of them stock-piled away.

Since we built 6.25 million of them ... I would hope so ...

 

[invertedflyer]

one of those 6.25 million will be mine!

I just visited the site and while I'm seriously considering getting an M1 Garand, their recently acquired M1903s seem rather worn out based on their descriptions.

 

[MasterBates]

Rebarrel, my friend.

 

[AllAmerican75]

I need to start saving up. Thanks for the heads-up A4s.

So is that what a decent M1 goes for now? Somewhere around $2,000?

 

[scoober78]

Depends what decent means I expect...

I think mine is absolutely decent...WWII receiver and walnut stock...good shooter...425$.

 

[Schnugg]

Not to sound like a killjopy...but the auctions I saw were a tad expensive...$2500. Are there cheaper rifles available for the average weekend shooter, that are perhaps not match grade 100% mint?

Cheers,
G

The auctions are for new or more rare rifles. If you look under Service grade and Rack Grade, you will find ones for more like $500.
