I've been carefully watching the countdown while trying to figure out if one of the dealers offering curbside service will do a transfer. Or receive one and hold it for a while. The dealer nearest me wants a dollar a day after 72 hours.
send it to me if you want , I’ll hold onto it until the shit blows over and you can even have visitation rights until I can process the paperwork without flagging myself

Another dealer that won't be around much longer.
I don't really trust Royal Tiger. It seems like a Sweaty Ben roll with half the barrel already picked thru.
Too many uncertainties with the economy and transfers are shut off until WHO knows when. Do you get a knock knock or cease and desist now for an fa10 for "non-essential" activities?
Think I'll Form1 the MP40 clone so it's not so unwieldy with the long extension. Keep my papers in order with the times.

If a couple of my things sell, I will order one...probably with just the $100 up-charge to very good/excellent. I'm already committed to a Walther PP, or I would go for one sooner. I even have accessories ready for it...but will be short one magazine as they won't ship one to MA. I'd also need an oiler, but looks like many of them have slings and oilers.

Get your original WWII M1 Carbine before the last supplies run out
We have the final shipment of original WWII M1 Carbines out of Africa for which State Department granted a retransfer authorization. These won't last long.

If you don’t buy a third one how do you expect to buy number 4?
Had four at my peak, would like two again. Really regret selling my 1/43 Inland '64 RIA commercial rebuild.
Was it an added cost "option" to pick the manufacturer? Not listed among the options.

The only info I know is what they had on their site. I didn't see anything listed as far as prices for hand pikcing or selecting manufacturer, but it sounds like they were willing to.
FOR HAND SELECT ON EACH CONDITION OR TO REQUEST A SPECIFIC MANUFACTURER, PLEASE CALL US TO PLACE ORDER OVER THE PHONE AS PRICING AND AVAILABILITY VARIES.

I ordered a VG to excellent the other week and I ended up with an Inland from 5 -44. The metal was good with just some minor wear on the edges and I did the muzzle test with a 30.06 round and it looks like there is some life left in the barrel. I don’t know enough about them to know if it’s all original. The stock had no markings and looks like it may have had something spilled on it or a poor refinish cause it has some runs. Must have been done a long time ago cause it looks like there is wear in the finish wear you would hold the gun. I’ll try to post some pictures when I get some time. Unfortunately it has not been to the range for the ultimate test.
I cant wait until I'm retired and am seeing all of the whipper snappers showing off their $2k 120 year old M1 carbines. I'm gonna post up pictures of mine and brag how I got mine for a steal for 1k. Lol
I've had two of those...was partial to the National Postal Meter I had.
I shot this group with son with a mixmaster IBM at 25 yards. He was using the one (Winchester) that I have left. It was a Paris Hilton and chihuahua zombie target. When he was out of bullets he noticed he hadn’t shot the dog...he said I couldn’t hit it. Those are my last 5 bullets, and I purposely moved right to left when shooting.
Oh, the good old days when I was young(er) and the mileage hadn’t caught up to me. I loved to show him up time and time again. When he couldn't do something, he tried to justify his failure in that dad couldn't do it either. Just loved the hanging jaw look he gave me afterwards.![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")

Never say never. I don't like playing party pooper, but that's life at work out there. How about "one of the last things I sell?" I've managed to hang onto my first K98 for 25 years....it's only an East German rework, but it's special.

I can remember buying M1 Carbines from 100$ to 800$. I just gave my God son a Winchester round bolt, saving the last 3 for my kids.
