Midway USA recently (actually in May) announced that they've purchased a large lot of M1 Carbines, which is great news for people that are still looking to get their hands on a genuine World War 2 production model. Some of you may recall that last year, a batch from Ethiopia was in the importation process, however this lot, according to Midway USA is coming from Italy, with evidence that they were in the European Theater, and stored since the 1950s. link Wolfhag |

Hmm. I'm on their email list but didn't get that notice. |

Nothing in stock. I had one 35 plus years ago. I never should have sold it. They go for crazy money now. |

Bummer. Sorry about that. Wolfhag |

Mine was made in July of 1943, but it has the post-war mods. Great shooter, but I can't find ammo for it these days. |
