Have you started checking your e-mail every 10 minutes for the "Don't Bug Us" message?

The wait is agonizing.

I bought one ProMag

http://www.midwayusa.com/viewproduct/?productnumber=764342

last one they had at the time, probably the best of the 10 rd mags. This was ~2+ years ago when the Italian carbines first came in. I prefer mags WITHOUT the bolt hold open follower, mostly useless like on a Remington 742 type rifle. Doesn't speed reloading, makes it hard for my kids to pull the mags out.

Not sure if these are the same mags after all this time, but I bought a bunch of 5 and 10 rd mags here, I was planning on 2 or 3 of the CMP carbines at the time.

Bought some with parts and springs from Fulton

I'd suggest picking up an extractor/plunger/spring and a bolt dis-assembly device, and a spring kit http://e-sarcoinc.com/search.aspx?find=CRB137

I bought my 10 round and 5 round magazines from Fulton. But, many here say boycott Fulton, due to the way they handled the early OLL sales to Ten-Percent Firearms.

Yes I have been checking my email like crazy. I will post how long and pictures when it's here. Thanks for the info on the mags.

So I have a month. ooh well should be worth it. I'm super impatient. Lol.

Waiting is half the fun. Pass the time by ordering ammo, sling, oiler, cleaning supplies, a bayonet, reproduction carrying bag, etc....

[NaughtyMonkey]

If I had the money I'd love to order all that stuff. But that stuff will have to wait.

[NaughtyMonkey]

Some of you were talking about getting an email. Should i have goten one by now?

[NorcalGSG]

You get your DBU (don't bug us) email after CMP receives your order, and places it in the "line" of other orders. It doesn't mean that your order is sent yet, just that they got your order, and they will get to it, once your turn in line is up. Once your order goes to the wherehouse, you'll get another email that the order has been filled with a tracking number, and fedex should arrive in 1-2 days! So yeah, looks like they are running about a month give or take lead time right now. Congrats, its really fun!!!!!!

[NaughtyMonkey]
