LATEST SALES NEWS April 4, 2008

CHANGE TO CARBINE SALES DATES

Inspection & Repair and grading of M1 carbines has progressed faster than expected. CMP will now accept mail orders for Saginaw, Saginaw S'G', and National Postal Meter carbines on 28 April, 2008. Order acceptance date for Standard Products and IBM has now been set as 7 July, 2008. For operational reasons, we have set a limit of one carbine per grade per customer for each of these manufacturers until further notice. A small quantity of these manufacturers will be available at both CMP stores. For additional details, please see http://www.odcmp.com/rifles/carbine.htm

SA CORRECT GRADE M1 GARANDS NOW AVAILABLE

CMP has over 300 SA Correct Grade rifles in stock. For additional details, please see http://www.odcmp.com/Services/Rifles/m1garand.htm

M1 GARAND RECEIVERS SOLD OUT

We have sold out of all grades of M1 Garand stripped receivers. The amount of orders for stripped receivers has outpaced the number that were generated in our Inspection & repair operations. We do not expect to have any stripped receivers available for the remainder of 2008.

SHIPPING & HANDLING PRICE INCREASE

CMP S&H charges will increase by 5% effective 1 June, 2008.

AMMUNITION PRICE INCREASE

As a result of significant price increases by Aguila, CMP has raised the price of .30 cal carbine ammunition (Item # 438) from $249.95 to $289.00 per case of 1,000 rds. Price increase is effective immediately, but CMP will honor the old price for all orders already received, but not yet processed. We have also been advised by Aguila of longer delivery times for future orders for this caliber.

WOLF .30 CAL CARBINE AMMO DISCONTINUED

CMP has discontinued the ordering of WOLF .30 caliber carbine ammunition (Item $438W). A few cases are still available for purchase at the CMP stores, but this item will not be restocked.

CARBINE SLING & OILER KIT AVAILABLE

CMP now has newly manufactured carbine slings & oilers for sale. A photo of the sling & oiler can be seen on http://www.odcmp.com/rifles/carbine.htm. Item is listed in our estore under parts commercial. http://estore.odcmp.com
