Another with late and mixed parts.

This guys says I'm sure carbine collectors know what they are looking at. I think he is expecting huge dollars. It will bring a good price, only 28,949 receivers were contracted (War Baby page 383) from OCT 1943 to March 1944. But I think he might be disappointed. No reserve.

only 29,949 receivers from OCT 1943 to March 1944.

According to relatively recent Carbine Club data/analysis, only about 7500 carbines were actually produced

Where does the 7500 number come from? US&S was contracted to supply 108,000 receivers to Quality Hardware, and of that number 28,949 were delivered.

For those that don't have the book would you mind giving a brief account of the almost 75% rejection rate of the US&S receivers.

@ $657

See 1st picture.
Does the stock look like it's been cut, the part the buttplate would cover?
