I know this has been covered, but I sure cant seem to track any of the threads dow, so soory, but here goes. I plan to order an M1 carbine from CMP this month. They say they will start accepting orders on April 28th for the one I want. There is a fairly limited quantity (compared to the Inlands and some others--they say they have like 1500 of the SG ones I want), I due to personal and family history, I REALLY, REALLY want to do all I can to increase the odds I get one before they sell out (might be worrying over nothing, but better safe than sorry, right?).
So, the quesstion is, do they just ignore (or put to the bottom of the pile or something) orders that come in say 1-2 days before they say they are accepting orders? Do they start with what arrives that morning/day and go from there? The 28th is a Monday, so is the best way to get mine near the head of the line to send it off on Saturday morning via UPS next day air, guarunteed 8 am delivery? Seems like thats the way to go to not be ahead of the "accepting orders" date, but as early as possible. Anybody know how they actually work it? Does my plan sound like the best route?
My dad (now deceased) was an engineer with General Motors, at the Saginaw Steering Gear plant, in Saginaw, MI for 30 years (wasnt there during WWII though, he was born a few years after the war ended, but still...).I grew up in Saginaw, and lived there 25 years, so all this just makes the gun extra neat and special since I want to get an M1 carbine anyways.
Thanks in advance.
