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. GpOriginally Posted by Gator 45/70
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.

Midway's site crashed just now...i guess there was enough interest...

Got my order through, the site was crawling.
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 truly believe we need to get back to basics.
Get right with the Lord.
Get back to the land.
Get back to thinking like our forefathers thought.
May the Lord bless you and keep you. May the Lord make His face to shine upon you and be gracious unto you
and give you His peace. Let all of the earth – all of His creation – worship and praise His name! Make His
praise glorious!
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.
