I looked at WarBaby page 401 and Riesch 6th edition pages 60 and 61 - also noted what Riesch said about manufacturing differences regarding Types 1 and 2. Now I think the slide in the auction has...

Thanks, you guys. I do have WarBaby! but sometimes need reminding to read it! I also have a Type 2 Inland slide, but it doesn't look much like the one in the auction. Maybe it's the angle of the...

This eBay auction is for a Type 1 Rockola slide. I doubt it's a Type 1, but doesn't really look like a Type 2 either. Could it be a "transition" between Type 2 and Type 3? Something about the arc...

The same seller offers some front sight tools that are also reasonably priced. The tool he sells for removing and installing the pin interests me, but it might mark up the pin more than a drift...

The webbing and buckle looks like it might have been from a GI back pack. I had one with those buckles when I was a kid in the 50's. - Bob

Thanks for that information, Bruce. I've been told that my 476K Inland would probably date to around June/July of 1943. - Bob

My brother has an Inland from the CMP s/n #6,418,XXX and the barrel date is 11-44. That matches with the info that has been posted in this thread. One thing that now has me confused is, I have a...

I'm impressed! Thanks for the pictures. - Bob

I looked this tool over a few weeks ago and thought it looked pretty darn good - especially for the price. I've got the other commercial one that was about twice the cost, and even it takes quite a...

Good pictures! Just noticed the railroad ties in pict. #2. One of my older brothers told me about a month ago that all the railroad ties in Vietnam were made out of steel. I wondered what they...

I searched Cam Rahn for several minutes this morning in Google Earth thinking the Arms Dump might be an easy find. Saw rice paddies, palm trees, and lots of other interesting stuff, but failed to...

Hi Mike, I got the (2) mags from the same guy that had the ammo. The 15 rounder is marked BW, and I gave $10 for it. I couldn't believe the Hardback was still there, probably 3 hours into the show...

There's a guy on eBay from France that has some USGI parts for those, I believe. I got a bolt tool pawl from him and it was OK. I do see that he has some questionable slings now, though. Here's a...

Panchogun: I can almost picture your carbine. I think I have one almost identical that I bought about a year ago. Mine is an IBM with the s/n stamped into the left side of the stock. It has a...

I had several boxes of LC 67 that was delinked and in plain white boxes of 20. Is that the way it was sold by the CMP? - Bob

At a Portland gunshow yesterday, I found one vendor with Aguila .30 Carbine ammo for $23 but most were pricing their carbine ammo anywhere from $30-$60. The $60 was for soft points. I saw 100rd CCI...

I picked my copy at a Portland gunshow yesterday for $120 - can't wait to dig into it. - Bob

For some reason the file size of that 1953 version is over 5 times larger than Badger's 1947 version, and the quality is very poor in comparison - leave it up to Google. :( - Bob


edit: I just...

I sold several boxes of 45ACP for $30 - $35 at a show on Saturday and picked up a bunch of .30 Carbine (LC 43) for $18 a box. Everbody was going crazy for .22 ammo - I sold off about a 1/3 of my...

I had a hunch that some (early ones?) may have had the other followers - looks like 1/3 of those in your picture are like the one I picked up yesterday. Thanks! - Bob

$6.52 for shipping vs. $35 just for gas (round trip) to the gunshow. Of course I'm going to go to the gunshow! Thanks, Jim. You meant 300 pages though, right? - Bob

I picked up my second "hardback" 30 at a gunshow yesterday. Both are SEY's, but one is "hold open" and one isn't. If I read War Baby II correctly, all of the 30's should have originally been...

Very nice Carbine - excellent pictures. Thanks! - Bob

I recently got some of those from Midway - were supposed to be marked "KCI." I called them and was told PW makes KCI - I don't know, but they look to be in spec. I think they're going to work OK. ...

I didn't find out about the CMP LC ammo until it was too late. Older brother in CA can buy from CMP, but doesn't do computers so he probably missed it too. I've got 500 LC, 550 Rem FMJ, and 550...
