At the time CMP was selling these I had taken a trip down to the south store in Anniston. I purchased a nice H&R Garand, and also noticed a small box full of commercial M1 carbine receivers. 50 dollars each. Most of them that were left were either Universal or drilled and tapped for some type of side mounted optic.
I managed to pick up a Plainfield mfg one with no drill/tapped holes.
Was told by the staff at this time the receivers came from rifles used in South America, and the condition was so bad, the only thing salvageable were some of the receivers.

Enfield, everything else is just a rifle. Unless it's a Garand.
