I never knew Bill but had a Carbine collector friend who knew Bill and didn't anything but good things to say about him. He will be missed.

I never knew Bill but had a Carbine collector friend who knew Bill and didn't anything but good things to say about him. He will be missed.
Being I am 77 years old I remember all those different M1s. I owned a welded receiver with a welded 2 groove barrel. It worked just fine and fired about any 06 that I put through it. We didn't have...
That is a really good and informative photo shoot. Thank you.
Looks mostly correct from the photos you have shown. Maybe the other owner thought he could help the trigger pull with the later parts.
I agree with what Jim just said. I remember my first Garand it not only had a "welded" but also a welded barrel. That was in the late 70s. I shot any 30-06 I could get. Back then we didn't know...
I would like to see the right side of the 3639 rec. I think it is just a S.G. receiver sent to S'G' to help them finish their contract. I have S'G' 3637--- and that is what it is you can tell by the...
That may not be anything we want. But it is a lot better than sending it through " captain crunch".
I think the repo bayonets had leather handles too. Not 100% sure I never bought one but I did buy a repo M3 it was for sure leather handled. A lot of rebuilt bayonets were re-imported in the 90s that...
Pull your slide off and look inside the bottom of the box for marking. I think it will probably be PI for Inland. I agree with the others as well as your metal parts color match I wouldn't change any...
I am a carbine guy and I would trade. Back in the 70s when I first got into carbines it was almost impossible to find Garands. The only ones were from the DCM and they said then one Garand was worth...
I am glad to see the live auction posting are shown. I think the forums that don't show them are missing a great teaching tool. They seem to think to many sellers would promote their own sells and...
I didn't know S'G' ever used Marlin barrels.
For several years I also received "The Garand Stand" not as slick GCA, but it had a lot of good information about M1s. Are they still printing a news letter? I don't remember receiving anything from...
I don't see any red flags. The screws may have been removed and lost after it was disembled to box up to send home.
Don't use steel wool or stainless steel wool or you will remove blue. Get some bronze wool and a brass brush then you won't remove any blue. It will leave a brass film but with a little oil and work...
Having been a member since the mid/80s it was almost like a death in the family. I remember how I use to look forward to seeing each new issue come in the mail. I couldn't wait to see what new...
Your series 35 will be much easier and cheaper to restore than the series 1 was. It will be a last ditch rifle all series 35s are. You won't need a rear sight with wings, a dust cover or a monopod as...
I don't think anybody answered your silde question. But I think what you have is a Inland slide. You don't show it that I have seen. But if the U is on the outside bottom and the P in a box is on the...
That very well could be the original stock they were made like that in 1918. Although it looks like it has been sanded hard. If the numbers in side match I would say it was original.
Hay imntxs564 you are not the first newbie BQ has jumped on. He jumped on me 2 or 3 times a couple of years ago too. I just quit posting here. There are to many other forums where you don't have to...
I don't think the military ever used mags with the holdopen type follower. Commercial mags have been mfg. for so long and marked with G.I. type markings it is really hard to tell them apart. But I...
I think if you will check the copyright dates you will find Ruth's first book is older than Riesch's book. Ruth just had access to more and better information.
I agree the Inland has a lot less repo than the S'G' does. However they both are put together and not near original as manufactured. Those repo parts on the S'G' are a rear turnoff, more so than...
IP/S'G' have several unique features that the one on e-bay is lacking. JimF4Ms photos show them quite well. The bottom one is a classic IP/S'G' triggerhousing. The top one is one that has always...
Great photo layout of a super nice carbine. Thanks for sharing.
