Reviving a few old threads of some favorites

Hope all don't mind but here are a few old threads that are some favorites of mine.
There are plenty of others, but thought I'd just list these 3 for now.
If there are no objections and you enjoy these let me know.
Maybe down the road I can add or you add some favorites to this thread.
By 'Star Rating' this thread we can get a idea if it's worth going forward with it when the forum is slow.

Oh! Boy! Carbine porn!

They look great! thanks for posting.

Great Idea , Old post like these never get old ...:D

Nice (and I really mean "nice" firearms) that were faithful to it's original purpose: a replacement for a pistol. Trying to make the M1 Carbine into a main infantry weapon was a bad idea. The M2 was subject to the same range limitations.

Please folks... let's stay focused on the topic of the thread which is about some great past threads and pics of carbines! :thup:

If you want to argue about the merits of the carbine, please start a separate thread. ;)

Thank you.. :beerchug:

Shared by phillydude is one many have never heard of and many life long collectors search for. He was contacted by a local gun shop owner and asked if he was interested in M1 carbines. Then told the shop owners Brother had 1 for sale. A few so so pictures were passed along with a price. He bought it, but was going to be out of town for 6 weeks or so before he could get home to see it. At the time phillydude was unaware that Rock Ola had made a few Springtube Carbines. I had to pull pictures from multiple threads about it, I'll try to list all in order below.

Here is the Rock Ola Spring Tube SN 1,668, mil

This Receiver, I believe known as a Type IB, having no cut out notch in the Receiver rail to retain the notch on the detachable Spring Tube. The early RMC stocks had a inner notch cut that the Spring Tubes notch fit in........ The last Thread Link above will show you this or See pics below:

I have quite a few Subscribed to older threads that the picture links are no longer accessible. Links like Tiny Pics and Photobucket are long gone. I'd advise loading your pictures directly on to Milsurps.
If anyone has any old favorites your welcome to add them or if easier for you, send a Link to me via a PM here.

I've thought about including nice examples of carbine accessories like slings, magazines, bayonets, fighting knives, cases, pouches etc. Along with more Display pictures, plus before and after stock and metal repairs/refinishing. I'll give it some thought, feel free to pass along your thoughts and ideas.
