Was at a local gun show today, some guy brought two cans of M1 parts (plus several Garand an Thompson parts).
Bought all, including a WRA over GHD and BA marked M1 Garand stock. Oh, and there was a second complete M1 Carbine trigger assembly which I've already put into a stock I had around.
Wrapped are several parts, firing pins, oilers, strange tools, hammers, ... Oh, and I liked the box of 10 slings. Guess that should be enough for quite some time now:lol:
What a score!!!
A bit of everything. The carbine slides pictured, one shows a square cut on the exposed right side. Isn't that an M2 that has been changed to M1 spec? By removal of the bevel that operates the disconect lever? Been re-parked after?
No it's really not. M2 slides work fine in M1 carbines so there would be no need to modify them. There were type five slides that were modified to the type 6 M2 slide. They are both the same except for the cut for the M2 operating lever.
I looked in the book Bruce, I see it now. Quite right. I thought maybe some had been made un-M2 ...
Would it make sense to unwrap everything and check for the manufacturers? Or should I keep them as they are? They are way more than I guess I will need.
What Thompson parts did you find??
flashhider, see the last picture. Do you need any special Thompson parts? There are now a lot around of those within Europe, I might be able to locate whatever you're looking for.
Sturges Manufacturing produced slings during WWII and after the war. That package is WWII. Can you post any markings on the slings? If they are no markings, it helps too.
Oh sorry Promo didn't know you were in Europe I don't need anything specific I was just going to offer a trade of carbine parts if you didn't need the Thompson stuff.
The package of slings are awesome!!!
