I wonder how these got approved for import. I was under the impression that U.S. issued firearms had to be documented as purchased by another nation and not lend/leased to another country or picked up in the field to be legal for reimportation. Either way, I’m glad to see them coming back home after all these years. Maybe if they’re not too ridiculously priced I’ll run out to Midway and pick one out.
There was a lot sold at Classic Firearms before the craziness started and they we $1599 then...

Just signed up for them! Hopefully they go for around what CMP was asking gor them before the craziness started. One of my favorite plinking weapons of all time.

I ask to be notified also. I bought a couple guns from Midway in the last month and they were quick to ship and there prices were as good as I could find. Gp

Also signed up. Thanks for posting. I expect price will be more than I can justify.
I have one of the Universal copies and would like getting a real one. Nearly bought one of the Auto Ordamce copies 18 months ago.

I would like to have one but I doubt the price will anywhere near what I'm willing to pay.

It will be interesting to see the grading, and more importantly the prices on these. I didn't sign up because I already have some, but will follow this closely.

Keep smoking that rope.
Why would ANY business sell something for half what the going price is?

I remember when the CMP got a bunch of carbines a few years back (ten or twelve years ago?) I thought about buying one, but already had one, and couldn't see spending $475 for another one. After all, they were cheap and plentiful, and a bit looked down upon back when I first got into guns.
I signed up to be notified about these from Midway, but I fully expect that they'll go for a lot more than I'm willing to spend.

I bought a new one thru the DCM back in 1961 0r '62 for 19.50. It was made by GM. Sadly I no longer have it.

Truth! I was kind of excited to see that Midway was getting some in but at $1,200 for the cheapest one I believe I'll just shoot my Universal thirty carbine when I get the urge to shoot a squirt gun. Gp

Well, that's even higher than I thought they would be. I won't be getting one at that price.

It is definitely the 'ouch' price. An M1 carbine is on my short list...sorely tempted.

Actually I expected the better quality guns to be near2k$.
There are some lower cost options. Tempting. But I don't like that about no returns.

I dearly wanted a real M1 years ago when they were about $900. Found a like new Universal for $350 and that cured my itch as well. I know...it has no "history" or pizzazz, but it does everything the real one does at a fraction of the price. That $900 M1 might be worth $1200-1300 now, but the Universals are selling for $700-800.
Been thinking of selling it as I really have no use for it. They are a fun gun but not cheap to shoot anymore.

I bought a 'good to very good' winchester without lug (lugs were gone). Feel weak, but was a hole in my collection...lol. Oh well, it's over now... Only thing left is to sneak it into the house.

I just got a 'fair to good' inland, it's going to be a host gun so I'm not too worried about the wood since it will be replaced.
