I would really like to see some pics of the CMP M1 carbines.
Lets see yours I don't have one yet. |

This thread is really making me want to give my Plainfield some company.
Does anyone know if the CMP will be offering any more Inland or Underwood service grade carbines? How are the rack grade? |

CMP is Civilian Marksmanship Program. They sell Garands, M1 Carbines, and other military surplus rifles to the public if you qualify. Here are the requirements: www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/eligibility_requirements.htm |

Since we like carbines I thought you guys might like this one. 10-43 IBM. Just the way my Dad brought it back in 1946. Nothing changed from the day of issue.

Just a note about the CMP service. I got an Inland carbine and I was having trouble with it failing to eject properly, about every ten or twenty rounds it would stovepipe or end up with the cartridge stuck in the slide somehow.
I sent it back to them asking for help, and within one week, it was back by Fed-Ex, they had replaced the slide, bolt, trigger housing, front sight, and barrel band. They had test fired it and had a handwritten note explaining the work done. Wow. |

That Rock-Ola never should have been graded a service grade with that much pitting. It looks like a large chunk of metal is missing from where the barrel joins the receiver. If it were mine I would send it back; I've never seen a rack grade with that much pitting/gouges, much less a service grade. The rest of your carbines look pretty good. |

Looks like " forging " voids-flaws not pitting. You don't see this very much on carbines, not unusually in certain batches of International Harvester Garand receivers and trigger housings. Seems aslong as it didn't affect the recvr structurally and were cosmetic they let them slide through ... Usually these Boo-Boos are more valuable, surprised the CMP didn't cull it for the Insano Auction.... They could have tripled thier $. |

that pic makes me want to kill puppies, but then again each to their own |

This is my Saginaw SG Service Grade. I think it is quite a nice Carbine. http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u74/Rudy43Norvelle/CURIO%20AND%20RELIC/IMG_1288.jpg http://i165.photobucket.com/albums/u74/Rudy43Norvelle/CURIO%20AND%20RELIC/IMG_1293.jpg That is some really dark wood. |
