You'd lose that bet. NJ banned M1 Carbines decades ago. Just search New Jersey Administrative Law to see for yourself.

Real, just not WWII.

Newscotlander and I discussed this receiver when it first appeared on Gunbroker late last year. From the pictures that were initially attached to the auction it was difficult to determine much about...

It's a spare barrel & accessory bag for an M60 machine gun.

The round bolt is not " beefier in the extractor web area". That area is the same as the second variation to the flat bolt design.

It was shipped from Manila, Philippines, were the Peso was/is the official currency.

Long skirt

Also, parkerized is a finish type not a color.

Means it was made by Autoyre and originated on one of their magazines they made for Inland.

R P is the marking for Planert Skate Co. for Rockola, they have shown up on a few IP carbines.

Saginaw Gear used a lot of parts left over from the IP contract.

The sight was made by Niedner, the number was stamped by Irwin-Pedersen.

Don't know what web site you got that info from but it is obviously incorrect. National Cash Register didn't make front sights for Inland.

That's nonsense, the carbines were not grit blasted while in a stock. In fact, the whole carbine wasn't even assembled when the grit blasting took place.

Niedner sights coded for Inland.

The receiver was used during an unspecified test conducted by Rockola.

The serial number in front of the rear sight shows it went through a U.S. rebuild facility. The type 3 band is also an indication the carbine is not as it left the manufacturer's facility, as is...

The carbine manufacturers didn't stamp serial numbers in front of the rear sight. That was done during rebuilds.

You are mistaken. Airborne units used M1A1 and M1 carbines and units besides the Airborne ones were also equipped with some M1A1s.

The subject pretty much shows the intent.

So a less then accurate source references another less then accurate source.

How about a period document that says the intent of the M1 carbine is or was "to provide those behind the lines (like...

100% Internet myth. The idea for what became the M1 Carbine was to fill the gap between the side arm and main battle rifle for the Infantryman whose primary function was other than being a rifleman.

It is highly unlikely the Inland stock is original to the carbine. Rock-Ola provided stocks for other manufacturers and was using up their own surplus of high wood stocks toward the end of...

The punch mark on the receiver isn't a hardness test mark.

Whoever told you that mislead you. SN marked milled front sights appear on the majority of Standard Products carbines from the beginning of production until roughly 40,000 serial numbers later. ...
