Hey everyone,

I received a small batch of the recent Italian import M1 Carbines. These were all hand-picked from PW Arms and are better condition than a lot of them that were sold. I have Inland, Winchester, and IBM available and will be listing them individually on my website. They can be found at: https://axisarmsonline.com/product-category/rifles/

Haven't seen these come up often, anyone wanting a war baby now you have a chance.

Damn, if you blinked your eyes you missed them they went so quick. One runt of the litter still left yet. I'm betting Sonny bought all of those.
Been watching these for a couple months now and this price was about the low end of what they were selling for back then. That starting base price has now gone up a several hundred dollars and still climbing.

An Enfield Bubba chopper will bring $300+, Most anything functional the price is + 50% above 18 months ago. Decent Winchester M1 .30's bring $2500 average for several months now.

Got them all, five carbines, or is it six, I forget, Winchester M1, all four manufacturers for that matter, and enough Enfields to outfit a platoon. Lucky enough to get them when they were cheaper and plentiful. All that means is that I am old enough to be well past that 18-49 demographic so I was around to buy all that. Very few of the new kids in the hobby will be able to put together the collections some of us have. Instead of buying dozens of rifles they will be lucky if they get one, or two for the same amount of bread we spent on that dozen.

I said this years ago whenever the question of price today, and what the future value would be would appear in a topic, always up, even for the less popular milsurps. Yes, they made thousands, or even millions of a type, but there are millions who want to own one. Maybe they can't all afford to get in on the ground floor when stuff rolls in, but as time goes on, and financial stability grows then they buy and the price goes higher. The cost of m1 rifles and carbines was flirting with, or past a grand for basic models even before the current price hike due to the virus, or whatever is driving the buying frenzy. In a market were 91/30 refurbs are 300-400 then our own country's milsurps are going to skyrocket in value.

When it comes to the M1 carbine it's no surprise, this is a milsurp that was being reproduced as early as the 1950's. Maybe the most popular milsurp in history. I am only surprised that Axis was able to keep them in stock long enough to type out this topic. If there is one left, runt or otherwise, if you want it then get it now or forever do without.

Mine is currently at Fulton Armory getting serviced. Took long enough for my turn to come-put in the service request in January and got notified to send my rifle in a week ago. Fortunately, I will have enough money when I retire to buy pretty much whatever I want. That said, it really does suck for the average Joe that they won't have the opportunity to really enjoy collecting.

can you lend a man a dime for a cup of coffee...?

I got a '43 GM / Inland today. The rifling has 4 prominent lands, and lesser lands continuous. Kinda like looking at a Marlin micro groove bore. Are all GM / Inlands barreled like this. ?

There will be more. Everything these days is coming from Limex out of Austria. They are the largest arms dealer in the world. They sell mostly to PW and Century. PW got 9,000 SKS recently from Limex. The carbines were bought from Italy along with the M1D Italian Tipo2 Snipers. How they get around reimporting American military arms I don't know.
