Nice lookin carbine,how does it shoot?

That...I will never find out!!

Ahh, a couple mags won't hurt!

Maybe, but Im no fan of any extra wear

Hey GarAndy.
Can you see any sign of the edge of your hammer having the 'Grind Mark' like these two posted by Sabre223...........

Dogleg hammers

Just curious,

I don't like the way the sight blade has been filed, definitely contrary to procedure. This must have happened after this carbine left service.

I wondered about the front sight blade when I first got it, but read in Reisch, pp 50-51, sight blade may have been ground down to raise the point of impact, as the carbine was being sighted in...

Guess now you need to shoot it to see if they sighted it in. :lol:

Hammer grind mark?

BLC marking is different from my straight Inland, non SG

Is this a manufacturers mark? WI?

Isn't that a Type II trigger housing? Shouldn't that s/n range have a Type III ? I've got a Type I Inland trigger housing that has the "oil hole" on the left side behind the mag catch. Was that commonly added during arsenal rebuilds? According to the Riesch book, the hole didn't appear until the Type V came out.

The SG contract receiver was manufactured earlier than the SN suggests

USGI, note the receiver doesnt have the operating slide spring hole bored all the way through...started around 540,000

Yes, sights were filed down to raise the point of impact, but someone filed on the back of the sight blade for some reason, blending it back in with a curve. The only reason I can think of that this may have been done during it's service was to possibly remove damage to the sight blade, in which case it could have been a field-expedient repair.

That's a beauty Andy!
