I’ll call the guy tomorrow and pass. I really appreciate the guidance .

I did not receive much advice concerning price. However, the detailed analysis in this thread, and especially that of painter777, has helped me decide not to spend $2050 for this carbine. If the bolt...

Unbelievable information! I appreciate everybody’s input so very much. I just received an amazing education . Evaluating a Carbine is like being a detective . I had no Idea what all was involved.

Bore was dark but lands sharp and high. Didn’t notice side edge of butt plate . Hammer has the N. I didn’t take the bolt out , should how I know now. SG mag comes with it. Nothing on left side of...

Honestly I can’t remember. I didn’t know to look for it .

IT's the bottom line price. He was asking 2250. He seems to know his stuff. He has several carbines including another Saginaw. He bought this in a package deal with an M1, a Luger, and a P38. I love...

Thank you for helping with the pictures. It took me a while.
What did you think of the pitting or corrosion on the bolt top?
Possible barrel band replaced....2050?

I don't know if my crummy pics will help but it's the best I could do standing at his counter holding the gun in one hand and clicking the picture with the other. Note the quality of the finish on...

So do I just go here on Reply and down to manage attachments. When I do that, go to my photos on my computer and click and drag, I get a large image and nothing on the bottom of the manage...

Well.....Frustration sets in....as usual with this sort of thing. I have spent too long trying to get photos to drag and upload into Photobucket. I created the account, etc. Tried to drag from my...

Thank you for the replies. I did get to disassemble the rifle to a degree. the owner is very nice and accommodating. I wasn't comfortable taking apart the trigger group but I did the best that I knew...

Thank you for the reply . Great advice. I will go by the shop tomorrow and try to get some pics .

I ran across a Saginaw M1 Carbine yesterday at a local gunshop. The owner is offering it for sale for 2050. I am interested. I was not in a position to ask to disassemble the rifle. The stock has the...

Model 1917 Winchester ?
A friend of mine just found a rifle ( along with a couple of pistols) in the attic of his recently deceased father. He brought them to me to clean them up a little and tell...

According to "Kirby", the sounds were really loud on the set. Probably didn't have sensitive enough equipment to record the sound of the ejecting clip. They do pop out from time to time. I really...

I love Combat. I got hooked on it back in the mid-80s when it was shown on a local tv station as a filler show late at night. The weapons are great except the carbines have the upgraded sights and...

That's what is looks like. Does the barrel shown have the seam and a slight taper ? I wish the hood hadn't been polished. Perhaps he had a little pitting and tried to get it off but what a shame. The...

Thank you, Scott and Canuck, for the input. Scott, did you used to contribute to Dick and Gloria's forum several years ago? It seems that you used to help me a lot with a 1911A1 I purchased as well...

Looking into the chamber, the H is on the very end of the top of the chamber. When I looked at it, I didn't know to look for Gothic or Roman and I don't remember that detail. If you tell me which is...

# 8367. finish on barrel matches the rest of the gun, almost no wear at all on any thing, slide, frame, rails, etc. A tiny tiny bit of rust on right side along top of the frame over trigger guard...

A friend has a 1911 Colt manufactured made in 1912 and all parts are correct as far as I can tell using Clawson's book. The barrel has the H on the hood. The barrel has what appears to be a seam...

About 5 years ago my son and I were relating some moral we learned from a Combat episode to some folks in our church. One of our members said, as an aside, that his cousin was Roland Benson, aka Jack...

I have a camera with which to take the pics but no knowledge to post them in a reply. Can you help? I will post them this evening.
Thanks.

I have one that I have had for about 15 years. I really don't know how I got it or even if it is a fake. Please describe the characteristics of an original specimen. I don't really collect stuff...

If used on a firearm for longterm storage, does Renaissance Wax have to be removed before usage or after long periods of storage? Also, does it have any detrimental effect on antique leather similar...
