SOG is close to my house so it would be more convenient. Are CMP's import marked, since they were U.S. property? Thanks EXSFDOC

You need an FFL or C&R to buy from SOG SOG may have changed their policy, but I think that they will sell to the public at large, if you actually go to their location in person. I know that Centerfire Systems will. That said, I agree with HoosierDaddy that the CMP is still the way to go. If you live in the Cincinnatti area, why not make the 3 hour drive to Camp Perry in Port Clinton OH, and pick one out at the CMP-North Store? CMP carbines are NOT import-marked, and looking through the hundred or so on the rack has a value in and of itself that is hard to measure. I-75-North to Findlay, get off on state-road 12, follow it north to state-road 53, follow it north to state-road 2, make a left on state-road 2, and Camp Perry is about 2 miles from the hwy2-hwy53 junction. -Bean --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

Look for a muzzle under 3.0, and don't worry about the throat unless it is over 6.0. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

Seen them used by airport police in Stockholm,Sweden as well as used by range cadre in Hohenfels,Wildflecken,Baumholder,etc.Germany.{ By range cadre I mean Polish Labor Force. They took care of the target ranges and guarded the ammo stores.They wore US Army uniforms,but were under the control of the germans}M1 carbines were in use as late as 1984,when I left europe.Knowing the germans,they packed them away in a warehouse somewhere.I'am sure that a large amount of m1 rifles,carbines,45"s,and BAR"s are being held by the french. Will they ever see the light of day again,remains to be seen.

We probably won't get those back... Also, previous correction: As far as Carbines go, I don't think that there are any readily available gages to check Throat Erosion. Throat Erosion applies to the M1-Garand, but not commonly to the Carbine. On a Carbine, look for a muzzle of 3.0 or less, which is what the CMP classifies as "Service Grade". -Bean --------------------------------------------------------------------------- What part of "shall not be infringed" don't you understand?

So unless they sell them to groups like Century they will never be returned. Cowards die many times before their deaths; The valiant never taste of death but once. -William Shakespeare, Julius Caesar

The muzzle erosion showed 0 on the gauge. The barrel looks brand new ( Inland barrel, 6-44). A lot of the parts look new, but I'm sure it has been reworked. The stock is walnut and it and the hand gaurd show that tiger stripe. I will post picks as soon as I can tke some. Thanks for the encouragement to go to CMP.
