I am NOW OFFICIALLY a M1 carbine addict. I just got my second carbine in less than 6 months.
I found the long lost, “Brother from a different Mother”, mate to my IBM. This is a 3.9mil IBM, non-dated IBM barrel, no import marks (except the “FAT##” stamp on the stock), and also has “AO” stamped under the S/N. I traded my tricked out Colt M4 Ops 22lr for it. So far it looks in good shape except it has more Inland parts than IBM.
I will get pics up soon, having issues with my camera.
Congratulations FN! Its a cool brotherhood to be a part of.
".....having issues with my camera." Remember without photos, it never happened! ;)
Congrats! IBM is one I still don't have an example of in my collection.
Just to add color here is a pic of my first IBM!Quote:

Only two? You don't have enough to ever get the wife upset yet. Two leads to four, then to eight, etc. I'm sure someone here tried to warn you.
OK! Here are the pictures I promised.

Green Bay Packers, Manchester United, Vancouver Canucks and the Saskatchewan Roughriders...who could ask for anything more?
Is there a monetary value to your Packer ownership? Or is it just bragging rights? Always wondered how a city owned team worked.
No value, or dividends paid, but the BRAGGING RIGHTS are a big bonus. We are under the same NFL rules and regulations as any of the other NFL owners (most people have not noticed the fine print when they purchased their stock, but it is there in black and white). We get one vote, for every share of stock owned, to elect our governing body (it is a corporation). They are the ones that select CEOs, GM’s, and other business concerns.Quote:

To me it is the BEST $200.00 piece of paper I could buy and worth 10 times as much!
P.S. It is not just City Owned, Shareholders are in EVERY STATE and several overseas countries.
