Got this one on a carbine I traded for...

I do not think this one is a repop from our West Coast friend on the River Styxx. At least it is Inland, and not Winchester.

All,
I went to a regional show a couple of weeks ago, and all I found were a couple of knives. One was a knife you all would recognize, but had what I have learned is "trench art" for the...

At local gun shows, I always try to show some history. Here is an example of each of the eleven mfgrs, an M1A1, and 7 of the "Bavarians". Many stop and ask questions.

Apologies for...

Hope you can read some of this.

The invoice is for $20.00, which includes shipping and handling.

Railway Express Agency --- Remember them?? Some of us old-timers do !!

Thanks for the input guys.... I think we are all about the same with priorities... What to check at first.
Below is how I nearly screwed this one up.... Standard Products... Nice stock,...

This guy is playing with fire !! But at least he's up front about it... And, yes, a candidate for the "flaming hack saw".

I gotta question for this bunch.... When someone hands you a new (to you) carbine, what is the process that you go thru to identify/classify it?
I think mine is this:
1. Look at mfgr on...

25 ??? Holy Mackeral!! What a Whacko !!! ;):lol:

O.K. Guys, here's Simpson's site

M1A1 CARBINE PARATROOPER STOCK

If you want a fake, this one will probably go fast...

Also take a look at the Winchester just below it. !!!1

Ronnie, aka...

Thanks guys, I think that settles it.... The rifle stays as is. That's how I got it. I bought it concentrating on the correct stock.... And only later noticed the "funny" markings on the bbl. ...

Thanks to you all for your well considered and intelligent answers. So I guess it remains in the M1A1 stock.... However, this issue is further complicated ----
As some of you have seen,...

Frank, Thanks in advance for your trouble. Now that you mention it, seems I remember that too, but can't find the magazine....

I have Inland s/n 9807XX with bayonet lug and adjustable sights. It currently resides in an M1A1 stock that has also been thru a rework, but I do not believe that to be "correct". Would a Type II...

Here's a front band from my Bavarian Standard Products.... Very similar RE-construction15238

Here is 10208XX14790 For what it's worth...

amen!! Nice rifle!!

That's no big surprise!!

The reason it looks weird is because someone did it with a cold chisel.

I now use a Sony a350. It's what I used in the recent Bavarian series. But it doesn't take any better photos than my old Koduck. It's got more bells and whistles than I know what to do with.

I love it, I love It !! There is hope for us all !! Just must keep the faith and keep lookin' !!

Here's some I thought might be interesting... I guess this is standard stuff to some of you guys, but looking at good examples can always be a learning experience. There is no way to duplicate the...

Thanks Drew and Inland 44.... I doubt very seriously that this carbine has ever been out of US hands. As you can tell from the wear, this one is REAL. Been there, and done that. The provenance...

With much respect and thanks to Garandrew's posting about M1A1's, I've a question on a mark on one I once owned.... Early one..... 143XX. Bbl mkd 12-42.
The mark is shown below circled in grey....

Wulf, if you are backing out, I sure am !! Thanks for the "heads up".
