Man that was quick. I ordered 2 myself. I'll be curious to see what you get.
They whacked my credit card yesterday. Let's see how long it takes now. It usually takes a while - I have yet to get anything that I have ordered quickly.
My CC was hit on Monday. No other info still shows processing.
Mine will be here wednesday.
My buddy got his Friday,One unissued with original wrapping paper,The other was very nice also.
I'll probably get the normal crap in the pile.
I ordered two on June 10, I just checked estore and it shows "shipped" but the Fedex says no information for the number can be found. ???
The price is great can't wait to see what I get.Went to liberty tree gun parts ordered 5 scabbards with broken ends $5.00 a piece.
I will see if a bulk epoxie will fix them.
I just noticed my CC got hit on the 15th. Whoo hoo!!
I just got shipping confirmation form Fed Ex. I should have mine on Thursday.
I wish all of my orders were this fast from the CMP.
Mine have been here in town since Sat at Fed exlax sort place.Will not deliver till Wednesday???????????????????
I just received my two SG bayos. (2 days early!!)
I could not be happier. They are covered in about 1/2 of cosmo" and appear to be brand new. One of them still has the wax wrap on it so I'm probably going to keep that one as is.
My only regret is that I did not order more than 2! Photos to come tonight.
That's good news. I hope all are that way.
My 2 Norskis showed up early.
1 real nice parked.The other broken tip,bent bolster? ragged leather.
Same ol same ol 1 good 1 trash.
Mine came today. My wife opened one and said it looked brand new and covered in cosmo/grease. I'll see it on Friday night and post pics.
Here's a photo of what came today.

Looking good Bob!
L.P., did you order one of each or two good ones?
L.P., do you believe the broken tip/ragged leather bayo meets the below CMP description?
----------
< Carbine bayonet M4 – Norwegian Manufacture. Used. Fair to good condition. No scabbard >
----------
I get mine today and was not expecting "broken tip/ragged leather", at least not until I read your post.
I would have to say it's fair, usable condition.I ordered another which will be comeing.
I will make a decision then about calling the cmp about returns??????
If I get another crappy I'll ask to send back????
Still awaiting shipping notification. Hope that they are not junk.
Heck of a good deal on a CMP bayo here.

My 2 came today. I haven't cleaned them but the metal looks good. Leather is dry but otherwise in good shape. Certainly rises to (or exceeds) the "good to fair" description.
Mine just showed up with FedX due to arrive next Wednesday. Ordered on June 10th.
Anybody know where we can get some decent (in function and price) scabbards?
I bought one of these in the past.Mine was in really good condition,just missing the metal tip.They CAN be easily repaired,and the tip of the blade came nowhere near the end of the scabbard.

If you need to repair these you can use Bondo car stuff.
Here is Mine.I didn't put too much into it,as all I did was mix the frayed end into epoxy,and them install a tip I had.

Nice repair Ryan. I ordered 2 USGI scabbards from "what a country". Received a VP Co and a PWH. Worth the ~$20 each cost including shipping. The other deal I thought I had didn't pan out.
I got back from the boat today and cleaned my 2 SG bayos. Both are in excellent shape, handles were DRY,blades had a few scabbard marks. One was missing the tip but it is such a small issue you can only tell if you look closely. Will post pics when I can.
These will be great trade fodder in the near future. Am thinking of getting a couple more to put away until needed.
I just noticed that several guys on the CMP have been ordering scabbards from SARCO. They are manufactured in Germany???. The cost is $6.75 each with discount code GOD06

Used some camp-stove fuel to clean the cosmo off the metal and treated the handles with some Pecard's Leather Treatment. The handles were really dry and one had a little mildew. They should be GTG now.
Those look great - my order hit a small snafu - seems that the CMP didn't have my updated (renewal) M1 Collectors Club info. I sent an email copy of my current membership card and everything is good again. I should be receiving them sometime during the coming week. Hope they look as good as yours.
Here's the worst one I got .This is a Norski.
I put a Liberty tree scabbard with it.

10% discount for any body here.;)
I ordered 2 more when I received mine, seem to recall the other forum reports Norwegians sold out. Have not checked myself.
they were removed from the Estore this morning. I went to grab up several more and found out the bad news.
I received mine today and all of the Norwegians look new still caked in grease. I also ordered 3 of the other bayos listed, and let me tell you they are some nasty lookers. Handles are thin and the leather and metal work looks like a caveman did the manufacturing.
Here are two that I cleaned. Notice the difference between the bayos.

Got mine today - both are very nice and coated in cosmoline. Look just like cuppednlocked's do.
BTW Charlie, the paperwork snafu was not a big deal. I bet that they had the proof of club membership all along, just somebody at CMP probably did not record it properly.
