Surplus M1 Carbines - this will be interesting

[Ark]

Gonna guess $1800 for standard, $2000+ for "desirable" manufacturers.

30 min to sell out, 35 min to be on Gunbroker at cost plus 40%.

It appears Classic has already sold out priced at $1499 to $1599. Midway says they're still grading; but, they'd be available soon. No prces have been posted that I can see. There's no reason that they won't sell at a similar price point.

If you REALLY want one and dont care if it has a history, new ones are being made by Kahr. MSRP around $1200.

While I like the carbine and the history that goes with it, I've had more fun with the handguns. That said I do own one and it gets out every now and then.

 

[Chalky]

Was surprised that no mag is included. SMH...

Idk. I think the prices they are asking are a bit ridiculous. I've seen much better prices at gun shows for M1 Carbines than the ones going on the market recently. I think there is going to be a lot of hype followed by buyers remorse when people realized how much money they spent. I mean $1200 for an M1 Carbine with almost no finish seems like a lot of money to me. but then again, with the fed printing so much money maybe it just goes higher?

 

[RCB]

I really like M1s. Grew up shooting one. Loud but little recoil. But 1200? No way. 500 yes. As much as I like them, I'd sooner buy an M1A for that sort of price tag.

 

[rob63]

I'm with Mauser Fanatic on this one. I don't doubt they will sell out, but I have been seeing very, very nice ones sell for $1200 at auctions and you get to see it in advance. I would rather get one at a gun show or auction at those prices.

 

[Mauser Fanatic]

I don't think these prices reflect reality. Classic firearms sold rusted pitted up post war Ethiopian K98s for ridiculous prices, and some refurbished ones for $1,000. But when it comes to try to sell it on the second hand market, the buyers aren't there at that price (I know because I've seen examples of this on armslist when people go to resell a gun they obviously bought from Classic). I think there is a psychological barrier at these prices. It's easy to swipe a credit card for $1,500, but having the cash is a whole different thing. Let's be honest, had the government not handed out stimulus checks I don't think we would be seeing any of the high prices for surplus guns. Also, while "4th stimulus check" is one of the most commonly googled term, I don't think congress plans on doing another one anytime soon. Maybe around the next election cycle, but he really doesn't have an incentive to do it before then.

And if I'm wrong, it's ok. I already own 2 M1 Carbines lol. But I think that's a lot of people. I know a lot of people that own 4 or 5 M1 Carbines and 4 or 5 M1 Garands. If sentiment ever changes and people start to sell there extra carbines or garands, and people jump to the next fad, you could see lower prices on the second hand market. People really need to ask themselves, if prices go higher, how much higher? How many buyers are there going to be there at $2,000, at $3,000.... is there going to be any buyers at $5,000? But maybe I'm just wishing, hoping, and praying lol. Rant complete.

Hi prices or not, doesn't look like they lasted (or will last) long. All the listings are "temporarily unavailable" now.

They are locked until the 8th at 8:00am, that's when it gets real.

 

[Kirk Freeman]

The M1 Carbine is in the vast warehouse labeled, "Things Kirk Does Not Get". So, I will pass but I do think it is supercool that these things are still floating about after 70 years.

 

[BigRed]

Pricing looks a bit salty compared to recently closed deals on GB.

There's some salty stuff on GB now, maybe the Classic guns hitting the market?

 

[DadSmith]

I imagine MidwayUSA website will be swamped a few minutes before 0800 on the 8th. Did they ever say how many they have to sell?
