Nice shooting man. How is the recoil on that one?

Stout but I put forward pressure on it so I’m ok

I searched for it and found where Midway says they are from Italy...the Italian National Police got them after the war.

"Per our supplier, these guns are believed to have come directly from use in the European theatre of WWII, eventually making their way to the Italian Armed forces. From there they went to the Carabinieri – the Italian National Police - and have been in storage since the early 1950s. There are no records indicating how the Italian Armed Forces came into possession of these WWII M1 Carbines....

....In service during the war, these M1 Carbines were then placed in storage for almost 70 years by the Italian government."

Yep, my bad.

Thought you were referencing the carbine mags they had for sale.

Pre 1899 Milsurp. One of a handful of modern cartridge rifles that doesn't require a FFL.

Carcano M1891 6.5mm Calvary Carbine. This one was made in 1896 Bresica Arsenal.

How soon after June 8th will it be, before the Carbines show up on Gbkr for $4000?

By June 11th.

If anyone gets a fair condition carbine from midway, I want to see what it actually looks like

Hard to separate with that kind of cash without holding what you're buying...

Midway M1 Carbines SOLD OUT in 4 hours! That is amazing? The days of cheap milsurps may truly be over.

Yeah they're probably selling them in batches. Or people went crazy like always
