Anybody got a picture of a Carbine stripper clip? snicker.
Sunray, gew8805,
Any type of guess to the Carbine maker ?
I guessed IBM
Wayne has it as a S'G'
As requested, here are some more pictures of my carbine. I was manufactured by Quality Hardware and Machine.
Charlie, RMC
Quality Hardware
Definitely a QHMC Crossed Cannons Cartouche.
I see a early Type I barrel band, possibly a Hi-wood stock with Oval cut oiler slot: A Type II stock if so.
Also see push button safety, plus what looks to be a real C tip sling.... that now sell for over a $100, more if the sling has any markings.
Bottom line.......... a Carbine you want to see much more of.
Szvacek,
Do you have any Carbine books?
If not a great starter book would be : U.S. M1 Carbines, Wartime Production, 7th edition, revised and expanded, by Craig Riesch. Est $30.00
Can you look in the stock's left side sling well, see any letter markings....... like QRMC ?
Really looking good so far :thup:
Cheers,
Good looking Carbine, would love to see even more pics. And as Charlie mentioned inside sling well markings.Quote:
