On sale right now. Italian surplus, went there striaght from European Theater.
Almost all sold out this morning.
Buy right now if you want one.
Didn’t you hear? Larry is a douche for offering these to the public.
I meant to and I forgot. Damn. Well, I think I’m going to console myself by buying a Pedersoli Hunter Light 86/71.
No kidding. He can keep 'em.
How will I ever survive without an overpriced gun with very limited usefulness?
Yep. They must have been priced right.
Yep. They must have been priced right.
Yessir, supply and demand theory tend to confuse many here.....
Bought one from a ranch hand, about a month ago, that looks and shoots great for what it is, 3, 15 rnd mags , correct sling an 2 mag ammo pouch on the stock, $300 bucks with 2-- 50 rnd boxes of ball ammo, maybe I hit the JACKPOT !! Rio7
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.

Sounds high for rough condition
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'm still holding out for an AR15 with Basspro points.
I miss mine...but at 1800....oh well
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.

Try and keep your chin up ole chap.
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.
No kidding. He can keep 'em.
It doesn't look like he'll have to keep them. It looks like all he's got left are a few Inlands for $1149. The $1800 number thrown out above must be a typo, Midway shows prices from $1149 to $1399.
Universals are far cheaper

When I did a search at MidwayUSA for an M1 Carbine, the price was $1,800.00. Maybe that was a primo one they had for sale.
I can remember when they were $150.
cmp was selling those italian m1's a few years ago for if i remember right about 600-700 dollars. i got a couple of themand they were primo.
refered to as "f.a.t." carbines.
I am kind of a whore on many things, cheapest i have paid for a carbine was about 175bucks.
of the returns, the german ones i think are about the best, with the exception of the two italian i got that looked brand new.
I bought a couple back when they were $180. Inland and Underwood. They're all right. Much better choices unless they're down around that price. I'd have jumped on that $300 one with accessories like a bo hawg on a sow.
My two eldest sons killed their first deer with a Winchester 30 Carbine at age 8 and 9. Remington Soft Points IIRC, They are 30 and 31 now.

There's a sucker on every corner.
I've already got a pristine 1944 Inland.
Don't need a rip-off from Larry.
Bought 16-18 yrs ago.
With two stocks, paratrooper (with jump bag) and full wood stock.
And plenty of ammo.
Yeah. That $1800 number must have been a typo. It was actually $1899 and $1999.
Might buy a Garand for $1,800.00, but not an M1 carbine. I wouldn't pay half that for a Carbine.

Hahaha. Tff. Yiu and Col Travis.

I wonder if they're still over there.
Probably got ripped off way back then - got mine through CMP.
Certainly understand the collecting and nostalgia of the firearm, but it is simply an inferior chambering for a combat weapon. By today’s standards for a useful shooter in a comparative firearm, the Ruger Mini 14 eats its lunch whether in 7.62x39, 300 Blackout or 5.56. The Mini 14 is a tank (Garand/M14 variant) in terms of durability and shoots 100 yard groups at 2.25” without any real adjustment, plenty good for any combat use as well as having up to 30 round clips. Would be less expensive to own and shoot if shooting is your desire, possibly not for the 30 M1 Carbine collector. Just my opinion on WWII variants.
I can remember when they were $150.
And they didn’t charge extra for the duct tape kit

In 1968 in a Walmart in Little Rock, Arkansas they were $99.99. Back when Walmart only carried USA made products.
If you want one pay the man
I don't know why we beat the crap out of each other over gun prices. If a fellow wants one of these carbines, or anything else, and spends his money on it, so what. It's like saying you want a new truck, and a bunch of clowns start pontificating "I bought my truck back when you could get a great truck cheap. I didn't pay but $2600 for my 1973 Chevy Step Side, and it's got a v8 and 4x4"
That observation aside, I have three carbines, and a truck load of ammo, both ball and SP. My Quality Hardware carbine with a red dot makes a great travel rifle. I didn't pay anything for it, as it was a gift from my brother in law.

2 & 1/4" groups at 100 yards with a Mini-14 out of the box? Wow! One in a million gun right there. Every one that I've seen my friends shoot did shotgun patterns at 100 yds. 4" at 50 yards. Inaccurate but reliable.

i think it was a way for the army to get rid of them, declaring them obsolete or worn out.
few years ago i came across a postal meter, completely postal as to parts, copy of the cashiers check to buy it,
shipping order to buyer, and about 500rounds of lake city ammo. the gun was basically brand new.

That's what old farts do, Sam.
The different manufacturers rifles were priced based on their desirability to collectors in descending order. From Rock-Ola and Irwin-Pedersen down to inlands and Winchesters. The National Postal Meter, IBM, and Saginaws and such fell in between. The cheapest price for any of them total was about $1140 for a somewhat rough shooter to change under 2 grand for a "Fine" graded anything. All the fine graded went in a couple of hours (after Midway's computer glitched hard) but then again, there probably isn't ONE of them they're selling that you couldn't buy and turn around and put it on Gunbroker or International marked up 2 or 3 hundred bucks and sell them quick.
Hell, a USGI carbine barreled receiver in decent shape will run you almost a grand now.

there were carbines as well as garands lendleased to various foreign governments those when they come back are in the hands of the cmp.
then there are those that are outright purchased by foreign governments. those have been purchased for resale by big importers.
in the last 20 years guns have come in from germany, italy, the phillipines, south america and others.
I personally tore apart about 100 carbines that came back from israel with star of david stickers inside them.
there were estimates of about 187000 garands, carbines and 1911's in the deal with south korea. it after a long term was finally approved by everybody, then the deal was squashed by hillary when secretary of state.

Yes, through the DCM, Director of Civilian Marksmanship, IIRC. 1903's were $20 and maybe $30 for the select models and 1911's were $17. Garands were much higher, maybe $84 but I believe those had ben accurized for competition. Those numbers are as I remember them from about 1960.
So I'm one of the suckers. Mine came in yesterday. $1349 for a Winchester s/n 1163xxx which makes it mid-43 production. My gunsmith who knows helluva lot more than me took it apart and cleaned all the cosmoline out. Says receiver, barrel, stock etc all are original. Trigger guard appears to have been replaced as it's the late-war stamped version. Also has the later version rear sight, not the flip up L sight. Wood is nice...worn but no stamps or markings on it other than "95" stamped on the base of the piston grip. Like a lot of you guys I had 2 that I bought 10-15 years ago. One now lives with my Dad, it's a nice Inland that I paid 1/2 of what I paid for this, and the other was another decent Inland that I sold to fund some project I can't recall. Sure I paid more than I wish I had to, but in 15 years I get to mock all the new generation of suckers that will be paying 2x-3x these prices for a piece of history.
I hope Larry made a nice return on the time and money he committed to bringing these back from Italy.

Same here. Mine cost $19.95. You didn't get a choice but mine was a Winchester, looked to be unfired.
Hard to believe that there were more M1 carbines issued in WWII than any other type of small arm.

I've been looking for one for forty years. I've run across a lot of the aftermarket Paratrooper stocks, no original D bags. Most of those were dry rotted by the 80s.
I own a really nice Inland 44 mfg that my uncle carried in WWII and brought home ... but my holy grail has always been a paratrooper. Buddy of mine in Atlanta scored one a few years ago that he says he is going to sell me one day but he'll probably outlive me so his doesn't count.

30 carbine at 100 yards hits like a 357 mag at the muzzle.
Research indicates otherwise. Correct me if I’m wrong, I’m just going off what I read.
Standard load was 110 grain fmj at 1990 fps.
‘The .30 carbine cartridge is essentially a rimless version of the then-obsolete .32 Winchester Self-Loading cartridge introduced for the Winchester Model 1905 rifle.[17] The propellant was much newer, though, taking advantage of chemistry advances. As a result, the .30 carbine cartridge is approximately 27% more powerful than its parent cartridge. A standard .30 carbine ball bullet weighs 110 grains (7.1 g), a complete loaded round weighs 195 grains (12.6 g) and has a muzzle velocity of 1,990 ft/s (610 m/s) giving it 967 ft·lbf (1,311 joules) of energy, when fired from the M1 carbine's 18-inch barrel.“
A 357 mag fires a 125 grain bullet at 2200 fps.
P
Willing to bet if’n you got shot in one leg with a .30 M1 and the other with a .357 you’d not know which was what after you took the blindfold off.
A little weak for 300 yards.
A little weak for 300 yards.
Effective range was quoted as 200 yards.
There is a reason it was abandoned. While good in hot humid climates, it was prone to jamming in cold. Korea exposed that. Special lube was developed to keep it working in sub zero conditions. It was fine in the Pacific. It was a good choice for the ARVN because the low recoil was easier on the slightly build ARVN troops than the Garand or M14. Marvin didn't get many M16s until we were pulling out.
The M2 variant was an ammo hog with a high cyclic rate of fire.
Magazines are the key to proper feeding and function. I'll go through the various 15 and 0 round mags and mark the ones that function flawlessly. The others I will bend the lips to help improve the feeding, and that often works with a little tweaking. Bad ones I mark and set aside.
As for stopping power, there are many stories from Korea of the quilted cold weather clothes that the NORKS and ChiComs wore preventing penetration of the M1 round. The Garand sent them to meditate with Buddha.

And no. Mine's not for sale. I've been offered $2500 for the gun from a close personal friend and I turned it down. That did not include the paratrooper jump bag and stock.
It was originally a gift to my Pop, who gave it back to me when he knew his time was getting short. It was the closest thing I could get to the cut down stocked M2 he carried in the Sherman with him across Europe.

Nice looking gun.
To answer your question. I bought it as a package, the gun, both stocks and the jump bag. IIRC, There was some 110 FMJ included in the deal. This was a good thing because I wanted to get my Dad out shooting it right away. His health was starting to degrade and he wasn't doing near as much fun stuff outdoors anymore.
I had been looking for one for a while and this package came up. So I jumped on it. I actually bought it off GunBroker, I think.
Yeah I hear you on the Dad thing .... mine is in his late 80s and I though the M1 Carbine was going to be perfect for him ... he hated it. Made me get him a Mini 14.
My wife sure loves the M1 Carbine though.
Reads like you got a real steal for yours.
