Mini 14 makes more sense

I agree completely with you. Everything fits. I believe deliveries of most parts to the terminated wound down thru late winter early spring. They all knew in Jan Feb that it was over. So they ran...

I agree with firstflabn completely regarding the 10's of thousands, heck, millions of guns that have gone who knows where and will never be seen again for all eternity. I believe what we see now are...

Having seen the updated photos of the dove tail. I must agree that it could be an upgrade installation or repair. That being said, however, we see what appears to be an original set of lighter...

Thank you very much for this post! Some time ago while on FLA vacation, I purchased a late IBM carbine in Jensen Beach(?). It was buried in the used guns section so that only the front sight was...

Jim.... I certainly can't say for sure. However, it is the opinion of my gunsmith who is also a master machinist and carbine manufacturer. It is a fact that Winchester's machines were in bad shape...

Wouldn't say gone. I'd say never got there. I've seen a number of Winchesters with the ring lightly stamped like this while the right side lettering sort of fades out. However, the surrounding...

Here's another recent Winchester from GB. Believe this to be 6M serial.

Sometime back CMP was auctioning off several 7.2M Winchester carbines. They were apparently all correct EXCEPT for diamond D front bands (verified by CMP inspection). I suspect that Winchester ran...

See this one too. GunBroker # 422521634

I have seen a number of receivers with these faded markings on the ring. Usually they are
starting on the top and fading to the right side. I have seen them on Winchesters only. I have seen them...

I suspected that it was some sort of criminal close in weapon. Obtained from some GI who needed money. IRA, who knows? A lot of the metal on the action looks very pitted but the folder metal looks...

This was recently found wrapped in a 1946 dated newspaper in an old loft in Liverpool UK. You wonder what the back story is. Any guesses regarding the holes drilled in the stock?

Sling?

Barrels are NOS from iAi production. Twist is said to be 1 in 14. Function testing ongoing. Then velocity and accuracy will follow. It's a shame this variant never took off. It really seems to...

Bruce you're 100% right. Checked with my gunsmith and we are also using the 55gr. It was easiest to get in bulk. Sorry for the mistake.

Corresponded with Col Johnson's son and he solved the feeding problems for me. I have built several of these carbines with the modified feed ramps. Operate flawlessly! Ammo is 50 gr spire tipped...

L&S Supply... Mr Roger Larson

My IP has RMC highwood I cut and RMC 2 rivet handguard 1762xxx ser# 11/42 Underwood
barrel.

Thanks very much. I questioned rear sight 'til TenOC drew my attention to stake marks (chiselled). I adjusted the aperture with the knob and observed the chisel marks extend across the sight base...

Tenoc..... Great eyes! Definite chisel marks on receiver AND sight base left and right sides. Old proceedures died hard.

Trying pictures again....

Correction... Handguard 2 rivet LW-B... still IBM. Site won't let me upload pictures..to large! PM me and I'll send the pictures I took via email to anyone who'd like to view them. Also, all small...

Found an IBM Ser# 3934xxx in the used gun rack in with 5 other tired carbines. It appears to be completely original! 100% original finish. Clear crisp stampings on receiver. Machining marks still...

It's not about the sight.... First pic I've seen of WW2 T3 band. They did get out into the field.
