Wow, got an email a bit ago from the CMP - there will be fewer than 35 Carbines available for sale in each of the two Stores. I wonder if this will discourage some of those who plan to stand in line Thursday morning? Better figure on getting there at midnight tomorrow evening, and prepare for a long, cold night!
ETA: Mark Johnson, the COO of the CMP, made this comment earlier this afternoon:
So it looks like those who got their orders in on Monday have about a 40% chance of getting a Carbine either in this batch or in the next one coming out. I find it interesting the Army was sitting on this second batch; did they come from the Army via a MAP return from overseas, or did they sit in a Stateside armory till now?

Mail orders... We will randomly pick and process from 1 Feb. stack of orders. We received over 5000 orders for a little more than 1000 Carbines on hand. We hope to receive close to a 1000 more in the next week or so. We will process orders for the first 1000 or so on hand Carbines and then fill back orders with the 1000 or so that are on the way to us now... The 1000 or so on the way to us now are from Army inventory.
