I would have to say whatever M1 you had in your hands when the crap is hitting the fan. As mentioned above, they are all basically the same and the only things that make one "better" or more valuable...
Yes sir, that would be my luck!!!
Thank you sir, that makes complete sense! That means I won't bid on it and can apply that money to something else. Thank you for helping me avoid it!
From what I have read and researched, Underwood subcontracted Singer to make around 25,000 receivers for them. I believe that only one other sub-contracter made less receivers so they are kind of...
Very nice!! Looks exactly as it should - experienced but cared for. Well done!
I think he was asking if I used "Singer" in reference to the 500 1911A1's built by Singer and which are considered by some to be the "holy grails" of 1911's. Of course, if anyone has one for sale for...
Nope, I am just the fortunate owner of "B" marked Underwood carbine with a Singer manufactured receiver. I stumbled upon it at my local gun store. I wasn't fortunate enough to find the Singer Colt...
I am a newbie to Carcanos. This one just popped up on an auction but I cannot type it. I think there is a missing part on the fore end stock. Any help identifying the type and possible missing parts...
If you can post pictures of both rifles, the true experts on this site can give you the best advice.
Thanks, I didn't think about that! Since that is the case, the 6-digit 249,0xx would, IMHO, have more value since that is an early rifle and one of the first batch of Inland's manufactured for the...
Is that 249,0xx or 2,490,0xx?
The "hold open" option alerts you to the need to reload.
Actually looks pretty good! Once you start treating it with the RLO, you should be pretty happy with it.
Should be a fun project. I've seen worse wood so it is definitely salvageable.
Wish I could do something like that! Very impressive!
Sounds like a fun project!!
I will be interested in your opinion on it.
Type 38 numbers are not related to the serial number on the side of the receiver. If you remove the action from the stock, you will find a letter with a 1 to 3-digit assembly number on the bottom of...
The bottle I have is the old style black plastic bottle that says "Collector" with "Long Term Storage Protectorant" on it. Hope that helps! Since we live in the desert, I will wipe down a firearm and...
I wish I could but it is for sale in a shop with no photos allowed. Since this rifle will be purchased on my C&R, it won't be for a quick profit. Your point reference this "being my kid's problem"...
That is a great story. I also use BreakFree CLP for my firearms prior to putting them back in the safe. CLP also makes a special "Collector's" variant that is designed for long-term storage needs. It...
Would that be with leaving the metal as is and dropping it into a new set of wood or refurbishing it to like-new? Thanks!
I am thinking about a possible restoration project project involving a Winchester P17. The rifle is for sale at a local gun store and price negotiation is in progress. I'm thinking I can pick it up...
Kind of hard to improve upon the original. The .30 caliber is so easy to shoot that moving down to a .22 caliber doesn't really do much for anyone. I guess some might like the cost difference between...
