Northridge has bolt tools a little cheaper than near a "C" note, $74.95:

Northridge International Inc. / M1 CARBINE BOLT DISASSEMBLY/ASSEMBLY TOOL NEW `GI`.

I'd have to question how you considered it a CMP Plainfield receiver. The CMP carbines are returned USGI models, not commercial copies.

Last I checked Southern Ohio Guns, they still had used 15 round USGI magazines for around $10.00 each.

If I recall correctly, the factory where the M-1 Carbine was made was demolished years ago. The facility you cite was a functioning property until just a few years ago, it's history, I'll admit I'm a...

I'll offer my endorsement of "War Baby" & "War Baby Comes Home." Pretty complete, I'd say Bibles of the M-1 Carbine. Bruce Canfield's book also might well be worthwhile, he's pretty knowledgeable...

I just missed getting to meet you, Paul said you'd been there not 15 minutes before my wife and I came along. Sorry we missed meeting up. I joined the OGCA that day too, I hate that you're not going...

Man, that's cruel, even if he was a tool.

I know of 3 guys, who bought from 2 different local shops, who sent them back for issues, one had an ejector break, one a spring broke on it, one had FTE issues (I'm thinking ejector issues on that...

From what I've heard, the Ruger SR-1911 is supposed to be better, for a similar price. I know of at least 3 of the Remington's returned to them for repairs.

So, what did they do, just weld up the area where the rear sight dovetail is?

My comment was a shot in the dark anyway, I knew Commercial Controls came in some place, but didn't have my "War Baby" at hand to check. Thanks for providing the correct info! My "CRS" kicked in...

Gee, that's so poorly done even a noob like me can pick it out, George must have been having a bad day.

Well, Rock Ola made 228,500 carbines compared to Inland's 2,632,097. Commercial Controls production was 239. But if I remember right, they had bought out Standard Products, and completed that...

Jim, it's a pity you weren't able to get over to the annex where they have the Presidential Aircraft, up to the Air Force One that brought JFK back from Dallas. They are also in the process of...

I'm loving the BS hype the seller is spreading though about since it was late war manufacture, according to him, it was de-milled shortly after the war. I seem to recall carbines were used in Korea...

OK, I've heard of chrome lined barrels, but this is taking it up a notch.

Paul's display was a great one, and he only had to mop up my drool a couple of times. I'm quite proud of my mixmasters, but seeing all those pristine examples made my meager little collection seem...

Standard Products M-1 Carbines were produced in Port Clinton, Ohio, very near Camp Perry, OH.

Irwin Pedersen M1 Carbine RARE rifle (.30 m-1) ! : Curios and Relics at GunBroker.com


Read the write-up "documenting" the history of this carbine.

Add to that little problem with it's supposed to be a Colt frame made in 1918, yet sat around until 1943 when Remington was supposed to have built it into a complete pistol? Huh? Last I knew,...

My deepest sympathy Phil, been there, done that, and it shook me to the core, because I always felt my dad was invincible. My thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

As for me, as to WHY anyone would opt to jump out of a functioning aircraft, my main excuse would be the classic "guy" explanation. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

No, really, at the time,...

I'll help you Charlie. Now granted, it's been a lot of years since I packed one, but if it didn't work for his first jump, all he'd have to do is bring it back and we could try again. At no...

My third (yes, same as yours, I was the little guy and got the base plate too), went well. The 4th, we jumped with high ground winds, I landed, ALMOST got the chute collapsed, when a 15 MPH gust came...

Then we all share a common experience. My time in mortars was in the 173rd and later, the 101st Airborne. Think they're a bitch to carry, try jumping with one.
