No bidders now at $750 plus $45 shipping and whatever your FFL charges or if you have a C&R free.

Before CMP ran out, what were they getting for these?

Depends, one release of high grade, think they were called select was $800. Those were in store only.

The mail in frenzy ones Service Grade were $685

I remember in the 90s there were only two grades, service and rack (I think).

You could pick up a Garand or a 03 for $325.

Those were the days!

I have wanted to add one to my collection for a while now, but have a hard time paying that much for what is basically a 10/22 in 30 carbine. Are they real that much more fun to shoot? I have never shot one, only handled one in a store (seemed like a toy). At that price you are in 1903 and garand territory, which feel like real guns to me.

I personally don't own one, but the guys I know that do, love them.

CMP sold their last M1s some years ago, but they ever get any back in, they will sell out almost instantly. There is definitely a fan base for them.

Audie Murphy's Winchester carbine is at the Ft. Steward museum.

I love mine! They are fun to shoot with very light recoil (it is basically a pistol cartage) so good for you shooters.

Inlands will be cheapest and if you just want a shooter look for a Blue Sky import marked one, collectors avoid those so they goa bout $100 les than non-import marked. You may be able to snag one for around $600-$650.

I wish I could trade into one of these I never seem to have the money when they pop up. The Milsurp's just keep going up and are getting harder to find at a decent price.

I have a 1943 Inland. It is a lot of fun to shoot. I need to check but I don't think it has any import marks. Been a while since I took it out of the safe.
