Eatly S'G' coming my way

That's funny !

I'm not doubting the story at all, but as much information as there is about the M1 carbine either online, in books, in videos or what ever source, you'd think someone could figure out what they had, but not necessarily know a value. Of course, occasionally I'll run into a seller who knows what they have, but doesn't care enough about the carbine stuff they have to sell it for what it's worth; those type of sellers are few and far between now.

I don't think he cared, he is happy to make money to restore a Springfield trapdoor, plus I put him in touch with a guy who had parts he needed,anyway he got my payment yesterday and is shipping it out Monday or Tuesday, with any luck I'll have it in my hands by next weekend

OK I picked her up today, along with a QHMC I got. I am not too intuned with the S'G', the stock has no cartouche at all and absolutely no evidence of being refinished. The RMC in the slingwell is verticle not horizontally in line , and it does have AAY on the left side, looking at the receiver, the side with the hole is that common ? I will put pics up in ainutes as soon as I figure out how to do it from this phone

No honor amongst thieves; it's all about profit margin.

I've seen RMC written like this:
R
M
C
On early handguards but never in a slingwell on a stock, is it uncommon ?

Flaming Bomb is up right when the RMC is up right/ like in your picture, Bomb is straight across from the R.
I can see by magnified ~150%

O = Bomb


R O
M
C

My eyes aren't that good enough to see it

Blind or Drunk? :surrender:
