Question on M1 carbine

[rusty9876]

I know I've been out of touch for a while but, what's up with the price of M1s and their parts? Looking for some mags and most everyone is asking 20-25 each. And spare parts have gone crazy. What's driving this?

Scarcity + increased demand.

I wonder if they are also desirable for flying under the radar in some ban States?

While it was very difficult to resist (they both had the spiffy perforated metal handguards) I found some 6.5x55 brass and lead shot I wanted more.
