[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 1998847, member: 7157"] You'd miss out on some good M1's if you limit yourself to CMP purchases; granted, I do know a thing or two about M1's, but my best two M1 purchases to date came from private sellers. If a potential buyer does the homework, it's not difficult to make a learned decision about a private purchase. The prices may not be as good as at the CMP, if one understands that the rifles coming from there are going to be mixmasters unless one springs for a post-war Correct Grade. The CMP auctions for the juicy stuff are, alas, as bad as - if not worse than - other firearms auctions when the gavel comes down on the final bid. Don't get me wrong - the CMP M1 sales are a great option especially for a novice, and I've bought a number of their rifles. Do the homework though before buying anything, and your opportunities will open wide up. [/QUOTE]
