The long awaited update of the CMP Carbines was posted today.
They're not selling any before 30 April, but it looks like they've got all the manufacturers and we'll be able to specify which manufacturer we want. They're going to start selling the Inlands on April 30th, with the other manufacturers later, probably after September 2007. The CMP is establishing a limit of one rifle from each manufacturer per customer for 2007. I think that is a great idea
Inland, a subsidiary of GM, produced 2,644,048 carbines, accounting for 43% of the total inventory. It makes sense to sell the Inlands first, as they make up the highest share of rifles manufactured. Look for the best prices on the Inlands.
I'm happy that the CMP won't specify a Rack grade on these rifles. CMP says that any rack grade rifles will be maintained as parts and repair weapons. They're selling them as Service Grade, which means they are shooters.
This will be my first CMP Purchase, and I am very excited to see the result.
I got mine a coupla years ago in a buy from Israel, of all places. Mine's made by GM brake division, in '43.
ReplyDeleteIt shoots pretty well, too.
