    Bob,
    Very similar image being used for an ebay sale right now. I don't know enough about manufacture versus repacking to speculate as to which we are looking at. Enlarging the ebay photo the ink...

    Is there any pattern of usage observed with these and/or the missing dimple buttplates on SG stocks?

    Charlie,
    That's really neat. It will remain a neat connection whether or not the follow up e-mail occurs. I'm slowly learning that sometimes, maybe often, this stuff just slips when people don't...

    Since your bringing this up, there are current sellers advertising the Chinese LC 52 for sale as real Lake City 52. :thdown:

    Quick update. I spoke too soon. That carbine failed to fire the same ammo - once during a CMP Garand match. Short version is that both 'duds' fired fine in my SG.

    Funny you bring this up. I couldn't pull the trigger on buying an SG last night 'cause of the price. I know myself, it would get used so whatever value it may have as a new mag for collecting, it...

    Sadly true. And many, too many, rely on-line reviews either because they have to or they actually believe that popularity somehow seperates out mechanical or chemical soundness.

    I am no expert on this. Late 1944 is the timeframe a couple sources have given for Allied re-equipping Italian forces. This entirely makes sense when looking at the timeline and organizations.

    I think with enough people documenting these, in the configuration they got them from Midway, we can narrow down the most likely versus least likely journey for this batch of carbines. I'll come...

    Brought the same two Korean U mags and two production mags to the range yesterday. All ran fine in this carbine. So the tweaking of the mags did the trick. No failures to fire either. Only...

    Our BP inspector had a bore light he could drop down the barrel to light up the bores. That would let you see if its truly rifled.
