I remember when the original Delta Park G.I. Joe's had barrels of them for only $19.95.
Take your pick. Mags were $1.00 each, some still in the wrapper.
Since you said to talk you out of an M1.........
Here is why, I've never bought one?
1) I got many ARs, many magazines, .223 Rem. loaded ammo and components.
2) If I were to buy a M1 carbine. I'd need to buy more magazines, ammo and components. Then, I'd need to store them.
3) Then, which is a more versatile caliber?
4) Which platform will I be more likely to find ammo, magazines and/or repair parts for, in a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI situation?
5) Which one would be easier to get rid of (sell/trade) in a SHTF/TEOTWAWKI situation?
6) So, with limited money, which would be a better platform for me?
YES, I'd like one. It would be a collector/safe queen piece. Bottom line: I just couldn't see it for ME. Course, things could change in the future.
Aloha, Mark

PS....I didn't even mention the initial cost of the platform and ammo costs.
I gavé à Nice INLAND Id dell $700 Keith 100 rounds new ammo.I put a post in "Curio & Relics" that probably didn't belong there, so a copy and paste with my original deleted.
After looking at the CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) offering it looks like those guns may be in pretty bad shape, and not a great investment having to be rebuilt a bunch, pitted barrels, showing heavy use and such. I'd pass on that as a crap-shoot with $700.00. I want a shooter not a collector anyways.
I'm wondering about a new Inland M1 Carbine? Anybody have one? I read an article in Guns and Ammo on it and really fell in love with the look, and history of the original. The article stated that it's hard to tell the difference between an original and the new one. Ammo price isn't way out of line and straight wall cases are easy to reload, Star Line has brass too at reasonable prices. So are there reasons a person should not like this gun? Some might say get a Garand, I think the Garand is way neat too, but the extra weight/size/recoil is a little much, more difficult to load, and I don't shoot way out, at this point anyway.
So talk me into OR out of it!
Thanks
Mike

YesOn meds. Strange posts?
Were you trying to say ''I have a nice Inland I'd sell $700 with 100 rounds new ammo''?
Underwood has some new .30 Carbine ammo. I bought some in August and have not shot it yet. The new ammo has a Lehigh bullet called the Cavitator.
