I am told that there are a lot of "I" cut stocks out there that started out as Type II or Type III and are being passed off as Type I.

Do the names of any reputable stock guys come to mind?

Thanks Brian - what a contrast! Doesn't look like I'm going to have much to impress the ATF folks with.

There is some speculation that the serial number my M1 has been removed. I will be taking it into the BTAF office sometime soon and would like to be able to give the agent some evidence that the...

The ATF guy sounded nice on the phone but I could hear him jingling the cuffs in the background. If it turns out to be an M2, it will be three hots and a cot for me and I won't get a chance to vote...

Thanks Moderator - will do!

I guess it would be odd for a pilot to...

Thanks guys - The next opportunity I will have to to take pictures will be Sunday 7-12. I'll flash a bunch then and post them.

What does the collector community think of lunch box specials?

A distant cousin, a pilot in WWII brought home an M1 Carbine which has been in the family since. I got interested in it recently and with the help of the Riesch book, have determined that it is an...
