Fresnel ArmasTermin Okay, I did the math. For the model I would buy outright ($189 + $20 shipping) it would cost $455.76 + $20 with the plan. 24 installments of $18.99 a month. Paying $475 instead of $210? That's a sucker's deal. Buy it all at once, and you save $265, which, as you'll note, is $50 MORE than the buy-it-now price. For the money you save, you could buy a second violin and some ammo, or just another secondhand gun. Personally, I think the choice is clear.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious. I'm just impatient.

Yeah, I feel you there. Patience is a virtue, but we're not all virtuous and I WANT MY s**t NAO.
The question you face is: is your impatience worth $265? Personally I'd say no, but that's YOUR question to answer.

Yeah, I'm impatient too and it would have cost me dearly.
That place that had the Underwood M1 Carbines wanted $750 +tax for theirs. But by taking my time and joining the CMP and all the prerequisites, I'll save quite a bit. Also I think the guy at the gun store said that they were 'rack grade'. Which, according to the CMP's definition:
Rack Grade Carbines have been refinished and rebuilt at least once and will exhibit in most cases varying degrees of wear on many parts. All the carbines have late features such as, adjustable sights (heavily staked) with bayonet lug bands and rotary safeties. Metal parts are mixed USGI. There are no carbines with early features. All are mechanically sound with good headspace. Bores will have some heavy pitting and exterior finish may show significant wear and some surface pitting. Muzzle will gauge over a three (3) on gauge. All of the carbines we have are returns from one of several countries and may have USGI walnut, birch, or other foreign replacement wood. Stocks may be M2 type pot belly. Wood may have seen heavy use, may or may not have original cartouches and may have foreign markings. Wood is sound, but will have dings, dents, gouges and cracks that do not affect the function of the carbine. Carbines in this grade show considerably more use and wear than the service grade.
confused So for almost double the price I get that. But for $565 at CMP, I get a SERVICE grade M1 Carbine, or for 479 I can get the above.

I'm sure this guy would be selling Service grade M1's for about $1,500 because they're practically NIB.
I should order some ammo... 500 rnds for $155 with $8.95 S&H doesn't seem too bad. But I'll wait until I hear about my order or whatnot.
