These knives have been "in service" prior to WW1. The military still issues these knives.

(Arf The Wonder Chicken approves this message).

I just ordered (and expect delivery before Monday) an unissued, Camillus (pre-2007 closure) TL-29 "Electricians knife". This military knife is one of their better efforts because this has the 0170-6C...

I don't drink so I felt fine this morning.

Happy New Year

Ain't it the truth? I wish that they would re-issue the M1, M1A1, and M2 Carbines. Not only were they effective, but are even more controllable than the "shorty" M16A2 rifle(s). Believe me, the men...

The M1/M2 never really let down any of our personnel in Vietnam. Out to 100 yards, the damned thing works! With civilian loads, it works even better. The "Light Rifle" is still "what the doctor...

Good job, and happy birthday! :thup: :D

In a word, no.

Dear brother:

There are men that have used the Fulton bolts in the New Inland carbines (two of which I know) with good results. I would probably opt to use a full Auto Ordnance bolt in...

Those that buy the Fulton and James River Armory models aren't thrilled with idea of buying a rifle that may have been abused, or "clapped out" over a course of, at the most, 71 years. The "holy...

Jim:

As you said with the A/O their costs are the lowest, and their quality isn't the most consistent. They haven't seemed to suffer the metallurgical problems endured by Inland. I think that...

As I said earlier, the newer A/O (AOM 130) M1 Carbines have bolts that will "take the heat" of shooting normal, "full power" ammunition. The bolts are sufficiently tempered and will function...

Probably. They made a lot of these for the Korean Police and Military use. (They are still using them, so they have a purpose [I]in country[I]). This is just a guess. Take them out and use them....

The A/O stock are not cut to accept USGI oilers. From what I have seen, some individuals have removed about 1/4" of wood to fit the USGI oiler into place.

I believe that I shall just install a...

I know that this has been accomplished before (by carving away some of the wood to accommodate the oiler). Is this worth the effort, or am I needlessly whittling on the stock to mimic the WW2 Carbine?

Sleeplessnashadow is correct. After some research, i want to retract an earlier post. If you cannot get the New Inland bolt to last, an Auto Ordnance bolt should fit and function properly.

Good...

For your information, Auto Ordnance has a bolt that's a flat top that has the same dimensions. If you buy one of their bolts, It should drop right in. They are properly hardened and should solve the...

Ron Norton will replace the bolt. Since it is one of the early bolts this problem was likely to surface. It is among the early units that weren't tempered properly. If you are afraid that there will...

If you look up Project Sheepdog Auto Ordnance (M1 Carbine) You can find a tutorial concerning enhancing the reliability of the Auto Ordnance line of M1 Carbines.

These tutorials ensure positive...

I have seen those dowels, but i wouldn't trust them. Perhaps they're okay.

Cuidado: You had best measure your barrel before cutting. Many of the carbine barrels are 17.75". Shortening the barrel a tad too much could draw too much attention from the ladies and gentlemen at...

I'm glad to see that they're still shooting well. Not bad for 70+ year old pair of "old ladies".

Sorry, people. I'm not sacrificing power for "flash and bang". I'm trying to maximize my Carbine's efficiency, not minimize it. I want a 5.4 pound close quarter fighting implement, with as much...

Numrich has part # 543920C (Ventilated handguard for the Universal Carbine) $11.95 + shipping.

I hope that this helps.

No offense taken nor intended. Attempting to make the .30 Carbine perform as if it's a self-loading pistol cartridge has been attempted in short barreled versions of the M1 Carbine. Sadly, none have...

The "sage of the gunfight" that headed the NYPD "Stakeout Squad" and used a military M1 Carbine loaded exclusively with 110-grain Winchester Hollow Soft Point ammunition. (The Carbine had the feeding...
