I sent in the order on May 16th, and after much waiting and anticipating, it finally arrived. My M1 carbine from the CMP. She's a real beaut:

Look at how intact the finish is:

It's enough to bring a tear to the eye....My completely correct matching numbers 1953 Springfield Garand from the CMP with my beautiful Inland M1 carbine with a seemingly flawless IBM barrel:

I couldn't have picked a better carbine if I had gone to pick it up in person.
Many thanks to the CMP for hooking me up with such a fantastic little carbine!
If you want one, you can still get one of the other brands if you get your order in early. The Inlands are pretty much gone by now.
You snooze, you lose!
