Yet I have 3 for sale on the CMP forums, for CMP prices, and no one's biting. Go figure... =)

Its a cut-down type III band, so there's very little value there. I'd say bend the band's loop, insert the wire, and bend it back.

Just my $0.02, though. YMMV. :madsmile:

I'm surprised that no one noticed before:

That AR-15 receiver's logo pays homage to the movie "Red Dawn":

Shottist,

Being in Central Florida, you have a premier M1/M14 armorer in your proverbial back yard: Bruce Dow.

Bruce is located in Dade City, on US 301. He's definitely not the cheapest...

honestly, i'd LOVE to have the field test bolt and the headspace gauges! the gas cylinder tool "parts" aren't really that good without the tool, but are nice spares to have.

they'll get a pretty...

charlie,

from what i can see, that stock looks right. i just wish i could see the bottom of the pistol grip better, to check the hinge plate.

also: might want to ask for better pictures of the...

you guys ready to cry?

I have an Irwin-Pedersen that was sporterized the same way: Same front sight, and the rear sight boss removed completely flat. They added a fancy schmancy Rear Adjustable...

Mike,

I just got an early 95%-original Underwood (Bavarian Rural Police) from the CMP, and it had an early I-Cut Highwood "MARLIN" stock on it.

My pictures are here:

Welcome back, Charlie! Great to see you back on the boards :D

Maybe we should all chip-in and a get Charlie a battle-rig lanyard for the remote, so he won't lose it again. :super:

You're a...

I really don't believe that the above picture is legitimate: If NPM DID start marking carbines "Commercial Controls", I definitely think that the stamping would look better than that. Anyone agree?

+1 on ColReed's post: Praying for your speedy recovery, Charlie!

Yep, it's a fake. Not GI in the slightest, IMHO.

Very nice, Mikey! Looks just like my SG-subcontract Inland-to-Underwood:

Lineouts are FUN! =)

You are correct, Greg: those receivers were made by Saginaw under subcontract for Inland. The 3 marks used are big SG, small SG (what yours is), and SI.

nice photos! the second one is interesting, because the carbine on the far-left doesn't have a type III barrel band on it, but all the rest do (as expected).

Yeah, there's a few mistakes in there:

Irwin Petersen?
Inland Container?

Bruce,

Here are two pictures of the rear "ramp adjustable" sight on my HOWA. As you can see, the ramp is very similar to USGI, but the base is most certainly HOWA: it is milled, has the rounded...

charlie: are L-marked front sights REALLY selling for $200 each?

Coneten: i've never heard the number being THAT low, but it's not a lot, that's for sure. I've heard as low as 839, and as high as 4000. That's still just as rare as Irwin-Pedersen original...

Frank: on yours, can you post a picture of the left-side with the wire stock extended? pictures of the rivets (front and back) would also be helpful, as well as a picture of the inside of the...

Last I had seen it, I think it's high bid was $1675.

And Frank: Bruce is right. The current CMP M1A1's are greek wood. Only the metal is USGI. Where-as this one was USGI wood and metal.

that definitely looks like the real deal: 2nd contract lowwood, with correctly-stamped pistol grip. everything looks right to me. didn't think a 2nd contract would pull in THAT kind of money,...

They have them listed on their web page, under "Title 1" weapons, for $725 each.

They also state that they have newly-made bayonet lugs for...

Jimb,

I only see pictures posted for 1, 2, 3, 7, 9, and 11.

I think we still need pictures for 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, and 12

here's mine, mold number 7
