The M1 carbines are coming

For those of you who don't follow the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship 
Program, http://www.odcmp.org), Italy has returned to the US Army a 
large number of  M1 Carbines (my impression is ~35,000).     These 
carbines have been transferred from the Army to the CMP, and are 
scheduled to go on sale within the next month.  This whole process 
will be very parallel to the current CMP Garand selling process.

So, if you're interested in buying an M1 Carbine, you should come out 
to the Garand Match on Sunday and fulfill your marksmanship 
requirement.  The requirements to purchase a carbine or M1 Garand 
from the CMP are:

1.  Be a US citizen, 18 years old or older

2.  Be a current member of a CMP affiliated club (LASC is)

3.  Show evidence of participation in a marksmanship or firearms 
related activity.  The Garand Matches meet this requirement.  You 
just need to participate--doesn't matter what your score is.  I issue 
you a pareticipation certificate, and you are good to go.

An updated status of the carbine sales is promised for next week-end, 
16-18 Feb.  See http://www.odcmp.com/rifles/carbine.htm
