Title: M1-Carbine Rifle, at Classic
Post by: bbush44 on November 09, 2016, 09:13:06 AM
I am sure many others have received this email from Classic. But get them boys for the low low price of $1499.99  :o

They've been releasing various odds and ends for well over a month, even had some über priced VZ52s.  Nothing surprises me with these guys anymore, nor does it surprise me that they actually sell everything they advertise at the prices they advertise at!    Just goes to show you the sad state of C&R retail out there.  The supply has dried up, anything that's 'new' or different gets snapped up almost irregardless of the price. 

I suspect (but don't quote me on this) that much of this new cache that they are selling are remnants from the Samco bankruptcy.  Century got it and I bet they let their best retailers have them at some pretty high wholesale prices.  Maybe not, but sure seems to fit the bill.  One of these days I'm going to have to compare the smattering of S/N's I've seen on Classic's offerings with the master list from the Samco bankruptcy sale..  thumb1

I'd say you have a 98% chance of bring correct RM...except for the M39s, of course, which came from Pat Burns.

Sold out in a very short time, even at $500 overpriced.
