I meant to and I forgot. Damn. Well, I think I’m going to console myself by buying a Pedersoli Hunter Light 86/71.

How will I ever survive without an overpriced gun with very limited usefulness?

Yep. They must have been priced right.

The only reason I would buy an M1 Carbine is if I lucked into one of the rare variants, in at least good shape, and the owner was asking a reasonable price. A piece of firearm history is an attractive lure for me, but only at a reasonable price; so it's very unlikely I will ever own any more pieces of firearm history than I already own. The M1 Carbine is a very good example of the notion that having a gun, any gun, when you need one is better than not having a gun when you need one.

There are collectors that are on the look out to get one from every manufacturer. Tought o find them in unaltered condition. Nice ones are pricey on the open market as it is. Rock-O-La made less than 300,000 whereas Winchester made over a million. There are several Saginaw variants. The fact that Clinton stopped the import of surplus carbines from Korea 30 years ago has caused the current market.

I wouldn't choose an M1 Carbine over a modern M4 variant of the AR15 for defensive purposes given a choice. With that said, loaded with some softpoint ammo and within reasonable self defense ranges and scenarios around the farmhouse I wouldn't feel too bad about the gun in hand.
Every normal man must be tempted, at times, to spit on his hands, hoist the black flag, and begin slitting throats.

Didn’t you hear? Larry is a douche for offering these to the public. He has nothing to do with it and all of them are ridiculously over-priced imho. Although, I guess I am now M1 Carbine rich. Those prices are ridiculous.

I've never been much for collecting....I'm just an accumulator. I had an M-1 carbine back in the '60's for a while, don't know what make. It went down the road to finance my first "real varmint rifle" a 788 .222. No regrets. I do have an Auto Ordnance M-1 carbine I bought new, probably 20 years ago, give or take. I paid the extra for a walnut stock. I like the carbine as a walking-around/range-toy/plinker. Good for Larry, rounding up and bringing home a bunch of carbines for those who want them. And yes, if they're sold out, he must have priced them right. Hard lesson for some of us, that the price is predicated on what someone is willing to pay, rather than what someone else thinks the item "should" sell for.
