Well I just wanted to take a look and see if Painter was still around. I don’t remember the last time I was here. I still have my small collection but have now started thinking about who will get...

In my humble opinion a pair of properly trained pit bulldogs would be the best home defense one could have. However, they do require much more maintenance and upkeep than the above mentioned options.

Charlie, I do not visit the forum as often as years past. Seldom look at anything other than M1/M2 and would have missed it if not posted here. I thought the post was very interesting and thank you...

The Lady Lex was for many years at NAS Pensacola. it was used as a training carrier. After it was decommissioned we lost it to Texas. Couldn't raise enough money to keep her.

Thought his name was is Charlie Holland

I think this may have been his business, if so I didn't know it was closed. I looked this up from an old link I has several years back.

I occasionally check the M1 Carbine site to see what's new. I have not seen any postings by Painter777 in months. Has anyone heard from him?

Beautiful carbine, however a zillion pictures but not one of the extractor or plunger. I kept looking hoping to see a cone shaped plunger but no picture unless I missed it.

Charlie,
Guess I am a little goofy because I like the tomato plant in the first picture. Just kidding, I believe this is the Winchester I remember you talking about before you bought it.

I bought a six digit inland for $1600 several years back with a broken firing pin. I replaced the firing pin and other than it appears original. I wouldn’t take 5K for it now. Of course I could...

I have a six digit Inland that has a cone shaped plunger with a long stem. The plunger fits very tight in the spring and is stuck. Is that a problem? I have not shot the rifle and don’t plan to,...

Seems to me things have slowed down a bit on the M1 Carbine forum. Used to be as I checked in once or twice a month to see what‘s new there would be ten or fifteen unread messages, only two three...

Charlie, I stand corrected because that was exactly what I did. Maybe I am slipping a little since my heart surgery. Just kidding, had the surgery, however it didn’t have anything to do with my...

Looks like a cutdown type 3 to me.

I found this photo, don't remember where I got it. I have an early Inland with a cone shaped plunger with a long shank. It is very tight in the spring and I do not have a photo of it without the...

Since these things were military issue I am thinking it might have gotten there in a shipping crate or maybe something heavy dropped on the stock by a careless solder that wasn’t too concerned about...

Charlie, I have a 5.6 with a lot of pictures in Photobucket. I will try and post them but it has been so long ago don't know if I still remember how.

Happy Birthday Jim, I am ten years your senior.

Pawn Stars recently had an episode featuring a motorcycle that after it was restored looks exactly like the photo in Bill Hollinger’s post including the gun in the scabbard. It had the lleft-hand...

Way to go Hilary, you are doing something I had planned to when I graduated from H.S. in 1956 and never did. A buddy and I were planning on joining the Navy when we graduated and my dad talked me...
