Looks like there is a Herlo USGI M1 Carbine barrel ,new in the wrap on Gunbroker right now .
The same seller had a Herlo for sale a few weeks ago with auction number 240365595 .

Scary stuff :


I had an early M1A for a number of years and finally sold it. The serial number was somewhere around 001970 or close to that . I do not recall how many zeros the SN included.

Here's some info on the M1 Carbine from the Terminal Ballistics subforum of M4carbine.net :

M1 Carbines - M4Carbine.net Forums

Covers things like typical wound profiles , role of the Carbine ,...

That is a very impressive KB .

Sound like bullets for the pre-WW2 load for Springfield '03 and 1917 rifles.
Should average around 172 or 173 . Could be worth some money in the original box.

I'm a little confused . What does PI stand for and is any there info concerning how the long the Carbine was under local rural Police dept control. Any clues as to the US seller , importer etc.

Kind of an apples & oranges thing .

Out of time.
