Dean Posted April 5 Report Share Posted April 5 I finally found an m1 host for my registered kit close to me. It's a national postal meter with Winchester barrel from CEMP with box. Seller wants $1500. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Posted April 6 Author Report Share Posted April 6 I've been to 4 gun shows and looked on gunbroker and local classifieds for a year. I have seen nothing under that except universal, iver johnson, and plainfields. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontanaRenegade86 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 I bought my first M1 Carbine from Simpson Ltd. in Illinois. They might have something that suits your needs. https://simpsonltd.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark2 Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 $1500 for a CMP Service Grade sounds right. Don’t think that you will find one online any cheaper. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KickStand Posted April 6 Report Share Posted April 6 (edited) Have you check FloridaGunTrader? It’s full of cupcakes but sometimes there’s good deals My friend picked up one recently for under $1K on FLGunTrader. I think he ended getting it for $950. Also, check the Blue sky import guns. They sell for less and are usgi guns but they have a horrible mark on the barrel. It’s for a registered pack, so who cares. I still think 1k is the right price for one of these. I bought a cheap usgi BlueSky M1 carbine and SBR’ed it for my registered trigger housing. video below. https://youtube.com/shorts/-18zJ1TsgaQ?si=G1NcZoB3B59GGF5C Edited April 6 by KickStand 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I said it was $500 too high, meaning a decent price for a USGI carbine is around $1k Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dean Posted April 7 Author Report Share Posted April 7 Picked it up this morning. Never having a vintage machinegun or any other wwii gun before it's amazing. Thinking about where it has been and who held it is crazy. The dings in the stock and finish wear and patina. A thompson might be next... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It still looks like it just rolled off of the assembly line, even after being used as a registered trigger pack host for the past seven years.
