Glad to be here. Recently bitten by the M1 Carbine bug. I hope I don't inundate you with questions. I have what appears to be a nearly complete NPM M1 from the early fall of 1943. trying to piece this together has been fun and i trust you will be able to get me across the finish line!

Looks good, we'd need a full set of pics to be able to see where you are and what's still needed...?
Welcome to the forum. Many members can offer suggestions after critiquing your carbine.
What would be helpful is a data sheet showing how the parts are marked. Pictures of it taken apart. Serial number range, things like that.
Again welcome to the forum.

ewall,
OK your tease has our attention.
If your new to carbines... please ask before you attempt anything. Many carbines have been de-valued or nearly ruined by owners thinking their doing the right thing.
There are no stupid questions ............ I remember some of my first ??'s taking some hard core gruff from another forum site. Here as JimF has stated, you'll find some of the best and friendly at that.
Welcome,

PS I like to document with pictures new to me carbines BEFORE cleaning as I break them down. I believe this helps show wear patterns.

Don't be shy....Post a few...Don't tease them too long...:lol:
Pictures are posted on Club site. Very nice gun

I think I'd rather just find another "shooter" and leave my Postal Meter alone. God knows I don't want to make another misstep....
