These have been out of my price range since I got into milsurps, but it was just a matter of time.
It's a typical mix master. Not an import. '43 Underwood receiver with a 1-44 Underwood barrel that looks to have lots of life left. TN high wood I cut stock made for NPM. Flat bolt.
I've learned quite a bit about these carbines in the last week and feel I got a great deal.
By the way, Carbine Williams is a great movie!

Looks like a nice find. ENJOY!
Nice little carbine, let us know when it makes it out to the range.
Welcome to the forum. Let us know how she shoots!
Like the others said, nice carbine. Enjoy it!!!
Thanks for the welcome.
Wanted to take it out today, but it started raining this afternoon, so maybe tomorrow.
I'm looking forward to seeing how it runs.
My buddy brought his Inland over and it's overall metal finish is much better, yet, he liked mine better..lol
Will post a range report when I can.
Its all over now. You need to get rid of it immediately! If you don't suddenly there will be two, then three, then a new mortgage on the house, then four, then etc....
I've been pretty good about not amassing too many of each of any firearm, (not that I wouldn't love to, but have to be careful), with the exception of the K98k's, of which, I've never had more than 4 at one time. I am down to 2 really nice r/c's and an all matching.Quote:

I lucked out this past month with picking up a 1914 DWM military Luger and then this carbine.
I've limited myself to buying surplus locally mainly because I can actually see it in person.
I like your carbine but must disagree about the Carbine Williams film. I have viewed it more than once but only in homage. Not a great film in my opinion. But welcome to the world of M1 Carbines. I'm sure you will not regret it.
Nice Carbine...Does your I cut High Wood Stock have a Nice Cartouche and NPM over FJA making. If so, can you take a Picture of the other side and show it. I really like them Stocks. There very stout.Quote:

National Postal Meter. Look carefully near the NPM marking. You may be able to see the Ordnance wheel too.
The picture is bad, but you can see the ordnance wheel in the stock, just to the right, in the picture.
The NPM over FJA in the box is Nice and you can barely see the Ordnance Wheel, but it's there. I have a '44 NPM and for some reason those Trimble Stocks to me feel a lot more stout than my others. Actually I weighed my Trimble Stock and it was a little heavier than my others.Quote:
