I had a few rifles with social security numbers engraved in them from POs who passed away. I still have a number 3 Enfield like that. Like posted this was common practice during the 60 and 70 to do...

One of the numbers looks like a military service number. If it is its a nice score because I can put a face to this carbine. Ill have to research it.

Nope I have another 44 Inland with hi marked rear sight. The one in the picture is as found. I haven't replaced anything on it. The other one I got 3 years ago I swapped the wood band and trigger...

Nice carbine. Looks like the one I have.

Thanks

My gf got this from a widow of a Vet. It's similar to one I rebuilt looking at the serial numbers. Serial number is 5432381 with a barrel date of 8-44. Yep late war Inland. I don't have War Baby here...

Thanks. You are right. Still it's in nice shape. Thank you all for the info.

Clash77 Nice 1943 Savage. In your post you said your has Crown markings on the receiver ring and bolt. I looked in your pictures looking for pictures of those because I want to see where they are and...

I like to read about that. Also like to see your rifles to compair. I'll get better pictures of mine next weekend.. I took those with my cell

I picked up this 1942 Savage. It was dirty but in good shape. All parts I can see have the s mark so looks to be correct Savage. Has the ishy screw and FR stamped in the buttstock so my guess lend...

Nice 1842

I had a 7mm rolling block long ago. It was in nice shape but the bore was shot out. I traded it for a 73 Winchester. I always wanted a NYS 50 70 rolling block. Seen a few but didn't have the funds. ...

Smiths are neat. I need to do some work on that one to make it shoot but I got it cheap and its in great shape.

I had the Springfield for years. Its a great shooter with the right cast loads....

I always liked the M1859 Sharps. That one seen some use but still in decent shape. My fav carbine of the CW.
I almost bought a 2nd model Manyard it was in excellent condition with bright shiny bore....

Here is some more black powder. Hope you like!

The Lovell's Pattern Carbines in The Constabulary Rifle and other firearms Forum

It's early so has the eariler catch. Missed being changed over to the later catch and bayonet mods. That's what makes it rare. Its M42. It was made with left over M39 parts aka the bayonet catch and...

Yea I met Bill at a Civil War show in Nashville. Found lock plate screws in his parts. No mainspring but he will keep looking.

Your close. The Lovell's catch and bayonet makes it very rare. It's 61 caliber carbine built in 1844. It is British but not a 1839 musket. Think more police and you'll have what it is.

I will...

I picked this up awhile back. I have a passion for cheap old muskets. Came with original bayonet. Saw a photo copy of a picture of it with price at an antique store. Price was cheap so I called and...

I picked this up at a gunshow for 450. One of the nicest looking M1917s I seen. Looks like it was rebuilt with new wood added. Stock has E. I havent taken it appart but parts you can see have E...

I like your thinking and thanks for all the info! Like everyone else I love finding out about these historical rifles and pistols! Its my only Garand! I always wanted one since I was a kid! Everyone...

I agree. It's a rifle rebuilt in the early 50s for the Cold War. Doesn't look like it was a post Korea rebuild. Are these sought after? I know collectors go after correct rifles. Then you have your...

For those that can't make out the op rod markings in the picture they are D65382 SA.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments!!
I took it apart today! It wasn't hard to do. The internal parts are SA. Here is some pictures of markings I found:
