Wrong hammer, butt plate I think and sling swivel, but correct type 1 band, muzzle wear is 1

I came up with an E158 slide , correct me if I'm wrong,

Forgot to mention it came with a mint type 2 sling and a USGI oiler but I can't make out the mark on it, 4 boxes of remington 30-30 ammo and 4 simulator booby traps

Very Nice, Good Find Brian ! I understand a KR dog leg is very, very hard to find.

of a very rare carbine. My NPM has a KR hammer but it isn't a dogleg. Underwood sent a few thousand hammers to Rockola but not until 1944. Thanks for letting us see this gem.

The oiler has *****BROS***** written on it very faintly, it's kind of worn away so my guess it's post war. It has a rubber gasket inside. I have yet to go through all the ammo and mags, but the ammo appears to be reloads to me (just the stuff in the ammo boxes), about 500 rds are new in the box stuff

Is that a IMPORT STAMP I see???? :lol:


Kidding.

Your good to go on that Butt plate.
RMC used that style from mid-late production IIRC.

I believe that would be the type 1B receiver, having just the one rectangular slide notch and 2 upper/ side notches

Cheers,

Dot for dot that is the one on this rockola, thanks painter !

I just noticed there is a small notch inside the stock that corresponds to the tang coming off the spring tubeAttachment 52662Attachment 52663

I was asked to show thisAttachment 52664

From our PM's you know I think that was a great find, the ammo just tops it even more. It will double in price in about 7-8 years. Not the steal you paid, but starting a bit higher then that. Worth holding on to.

This oiler?

That looks like it Jim, what is in the center is beat up and not legible, but yours looks printed on and mine looks stamped

Heard bad things about L&S, they don't even have a web site catalog as far as I know

That's a beautiful Rock-Ola! Great find. Regards, Rick.

It is extremely nice

L+S supply sells reproduction parts , Plain and simple .!!

I'm jelous !

Yeah I've been getting a lot of that !

Hi All, Do to unexpected circumstances, Brian has sold the Rock-Ola to me. It just arrived today and I'm happy to add it to my collection. A couple of anomalies just to bring all up to date and hoping you can shed some light on them. The recoil plate appears in the photo to have a R marking. In fact it actually is an 8 on one side and a punch mark on the other side of the tang. Wear contact points and patina show that it has been in the carbine for a very long time. I find nothing in any of the CC newsletters to help. The other one is the marking or lack of marking on the gas cylinder. The barrel all being properly marked and double proofed and flaming bomb under the gas piston with an R and a 1 on the barrel flat, but not marked Rock-Ola. The CC news letters do mention some unmarked gas cylinders. One other item which is not a problem and is mentioned in the CC newsletters, but an interesting point is the extractor. It is the modified SI marked with the I stamped over with an R so it appears to be SR. Lastly you know that the hammer had been replaced somewhere in it's life and I would like to bring it back to a dogleg. If anyone might have a source for an original type 1 or 2 dogleg KR hammer I would be grateful for any info. Thanks, John
