Looks like the second wave of IHCs will be available starting March 11th. Field Grades, Services Grades, and even some Gap Letter Service Grades. Still one per person.
glad I got mine from the last batch. I'll sit out this round. good hunting to anyone who's interested!

Anybody else catch this?
What gives?

I assume it's a reaction to the proposed Federal ban on the manufacture or vendor sale of M855.

Okay, ban's off. What gives?
Aren't they sold out now? Moot point.
Why are these so much more expensive? Better quality?
Going to pick up my first Garand whenever my CCW license finally shows up. Leaning towards a Special Grade, but some of these are even more expensive!

Rarity. IHC made fewer M1's than the other three US manufacturers. Plus, the concept of a tractor and farm implement company turning out battle rifles appeals to a lot of people. Quality-wise, IHC probably ranks third, ahead of Winchester, yet those two makers consistently command higher price tags than Springfield or Harrington & Richardson, on the basis of name alone.
Just an FYI, you don't need your actual license to fulfil the monitored shooting activity requirement. I used the cert of completion they printed out at the CCW class the first time I ordered from the CMP, a month or so before my actual license came in. Didn't run into any problems at that time.
