Howdy from Prarie Dog Town

Now I've got to figure out how to post pics here......Testing....If this works, Chris, these are three other IBM/AO NPMs.

I didn't bother for now taking any pics of TJLs and my M1A1s or my spring tube Inland or any of our other oddballs. I figure I wasted enough band width.

JimB,

Those are really nice.... thank you .... Now, why do I feel an urge for a cigarette????

A very nice collection. You have your collecting niche, don't you?

My first impression is that I like the Saginaw subcontract to Inland then integrated to Underwood receiver (745541) the most. Thanks for showing.

I have some of the "ordinary" carbines too, but somehow the really scarce ones just keep calling my name. Yeah, I used to have the one of each collection, but somehow it just didn't cut it. Then I started with all the subcontracts (I still have some like the NPM/U and the Underwood T for example), but those didn't quite do it either. So finally I decided to blow my entire fortune and go for the "gold". Maybe some day that Commercial Controls will be found.........Well I can dream can't I????

Jim B,
Yes Sir, your collecting niche is most interesting. It well illustrates the cooperation our country was able to gather in order to achieve the common goal. And likely, the collection you have gathered will not be duplicated in all our lifetimes put together. Not enough superlatives for what you have shown, Sir. Hats off to you!!:beerchug:
