lmfao,,,,Audie Murphy had a Winchester not an Inland i believe
---------- Post added at 04:56 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:53 PM ----------
i have an m1 carbine that Audie Murphy gifted to me when i was in diapers, i even have the paper work coming out of my printer now to prove it
Hey I believe this is legit. The rifle belonged to AM not carried in combat. It was one of his carbines that he gifted to a friend. Now the question is ......does a M1 carbine owned by AM warrant a ten thousand dollar price tag with provenance? I bet it does! Regards, Rick.
There was something else, or maybe it was this rifle, that came up a few years ago as belonging to Audie Murphy, anyone else recall what it was?
I think it is legit. I read about the incident somewhere, years ago. I remember that I read Audie Murphy gave a friend one of his M1 carbines during the Watts riots. Apparently Audie owned several, as he really liked the carbines that had served him well in Europe.
Good old friction tape on those mags - I couldn't ever get it stick to anything that well. - Bob

First,
Thank Topaz for the link :clap:
Be nice if this is true,
We do know AM was heavy in the horses......... I know that feeling :ugh:
Being a carbine you just can't help but fast glance and see...
The crack under the stocks right rail
Brass pin in the hand guard
The trigger housing looking like it's gonna fall out from under the stock
Frt sight pin backing out to the right
Red sealed primer pockets!!! Corrosive ?? :yikes:
Hey and Bob USGI
Friction tape still works great on my hockey sticks ;-)

Phillydude,
How can that be :confused:, when everyone knows that I own his carbine and his 3rd ID helmet ? :p.
Except your fingers. And hockey sticks.Quote:

yes it looks like it was sanded down to remove the groove in it, im pretty sure you shouldnt be able to see the rivet head from that angle
That might be it, I've seen them before with grooves narrower at the back. I thought that style might have been standard on some, but maybe only on later or postwar handguards?? Let's see if that guy in Michigan with several boxes of "spares" has a comment. :wave: - Bob
You all can have the Story, I'll take the Carbine!
Now that is exactly what I would expect from you, Rusty. LMAO.....Regards, Rick.Quote:
