I did study your pictures (nice job on them) very closely the first day you posted the new thread. I was at the computer when I received the notice from Milsurps.
I think everyone is talking...
Actually, most of those five (if not all) were used since they show acceptance stamps by the U.S. government placed at the time they left the factories as complete new M1 Carbines. Some have...
On the NPM stock with the dark discoloration next to the sling cut - several years ago I saw a carbine at a gun show with that and the owner explained that it was caused from blood. Not sure if that...
A very touching story - Thanks for telling us about it. :thup: - Bob
Same one as discussed in the M1 Carbine forum a few weeks back - but you know that, right? - Bob
They certainly didn't skimp on the mounting hardware! - Bob
Here are the pictures that were lost from Reply #53 above. - Bob

Nice job on that one, Frank. :cheers: - Bob
Do a bit of research on those before ordering. Some have complained of poor fit and suggest they're actually Boyds' seconds. :( - Bob
Hi Frank, I read your post when it came out yesterday and did some thinking about - decided not to respond right away. This morning, I thought $500 might work - especially if you have local...
Yep, about 3/4 of the way down the page in the American Rifleman link - listed under "Related Stories" - there's another link to the Olympic Arms version. - Bob

This thread reminded me of an article in the latest issue of American Rifleman on the guns of Robert L. Hillberg. Hillberg held more than 40 U.S. patents on firearm innovations. He even designed a...
I have an M&P from the early 50's - paid $375 for it about 10 years ago. It's the only S&W I've ever owned and don't really know much about them. I like to think it might be worth around $500 now,...
Don't know if I could find it now, but a few years ago there was a thread in our M1 Carbine forum discussing their use by Israeli teachers and others seen on the streets there. It was pointed out...
Charlie, I looked that up awhile back and thought I posted it here on the forum - but now can't find it. Seems like his first name is Yashi. Been dealing with a mid-west type blizzard occurring...
Tom, They often do have others and will hand pick what you want while on the phone with them. Sometimes will even message pictures to your phone if you need closeups of certain areas. Good Luck...
Hope your wife doesn't read all your posts! It gets worse from here; I know someone who sold guns he wanted to keep and then replaced them with ones he didn't need. :cheers: - Bob
I have a friend who has an early .256 Ferret and was thinking about asking him, but pretty sure his has a scope. One thing I remember about it is the Universal aluminum TH but it's narrow and the...
I don't remember where I found these images, but to me it proves that at least some of the "missing-dot" buttplates were made by SA. Hope this helps. - Bob

Here's a better one shown with the primer removed. - Bob

Looks good! Is the rear sight still set for 200 or 250 yds ? I have an older brother who has shot quite a bit of corrosive Chinese ammo through his Inland with no problems, but has been used to...
Here's another Inland, fairly early in the 5M range with the same Type 3 rear sight. This one hit pretty much right on for elevation at 25 yards with the aperture set in the lowest position. Your...
I haven't been at this as long as some of you guys, but I've never seen annealed brass (even pictures) on any USGI Carbine ammo before. Maybe some of last 1950's lots from WCC were made that way,...
I've never had any of the Korean surplus carbine ammo, but my understanding is that it's just as good or better than LC. Is the last picture of the WCC 54? - looks like someone annealed the brass. ...
