Default NRA M1 Carbine - 1966

Here is a mixmaster M1 I purchased from a friend about 10 years ago. He inherited it from his pop who kept meticulous records.
The purchase came with these records .....Attachment 779424

$20.00 in 1966 was real money. Gas was $0.199 a gallon and many where making $1.00 an hour.

By the logic of some people here, since it was $20 in 1966 it should sell for no more than $50 or so now. $60 tops. Interestingly, those are the same people who are in the market for one.

I paid $126 for a DCM M-1 Garand in the early 1980s

Lucky you OP, you've got the paperwork. My Quality Hardware M1 carbine could be one of these rifles;the curio relic shop where I bought it mentioned it was a DCM sourced firearm, but they (and as a result I) didn't have any paperwork to back up that claim.

More on other people who have these "NRA M1 carbines" on the following forums if you are interested in reading about it

I find the thread below entitled "DCM and the old days" on the CMP forum from people about the M1 Garand, M1 carbine, M1903 Springfield rifles they got from the old DCM interesting. It seems you had no choice what you got when you ordered a particular rifle, so what arrived would be a total surprise.

http://forums.thecmp.org/showthread.php?t=99508

The article below published in 2017 discusses the state of CMP sourced guns. The article states that the CMP's supplies of rifles like the M1 Garand will sooner or later be exhausted, but there are considerable number of Garand and M1 Carbines in Korea and the Philippines, but only the Secretary of State can authorize their coming back to the U.S. because firearms that where loaned to foreign nations as aid (not purchased) cannot come back to the U.S. without government approval.
