    I'm not sure I see what the advantage of an AR15 platform chambered in .30 carbine would be over a well maintained M1 carbine. Starting in the late '90's I carried a M1 carbine in my patrol car as a...

    Mine stay in the gun vault as well, but I do show them often to folks who visit the man cave in my basement.

    I would agree that there are a lot of households that are occupied by folks who are NOT "gun people" that still have 2 or 3 or 4 guns in them. In a lot of cases it's granddads old shotgun that was...

    My sheriff's department issued USGI M1 carbines for a while back in the 1990's and we did a pretty exhaustive test on available ammo at the time. We used Winchester soft/hollow point and it was...

    Although Underwood did use the brazed trigger housings, it was I.B.M. engineers who designed and developed it at their Endicott factory. (According to "War Baby", page 195). About 20 years ago I...

    I suspect had the technology been available in the early 1940's every USGI carbine made would have been cast. Just look at what I.B.M. did with the stamped trigger housing is evidence enough.

    Seems the newly manufactured M1 carbines by MKS Supply could eventually lead to more reproduction parts being let into the market. I wonder if they have any unmarked Type II barrel bands for sale.

    I was fortunate enough to acquire an unfired still in the wrap No4 MKII, one of the Irish finds from the early 1990's. This one has a manufacturer date of 1954 and came with bayonet.

    Very cool rebuild, congratulations.

    I didn't realize a halftrack troop carrier had so many machine guns mounted on them. I'm sure in this configuration it was a formidable fighting platform.

    It was often hard enough 20 years ago, before the proliferation of "fake" parts, to authendicate the originality of a carbine. In another 20 years, I don't think they'll be able too.

    I can remember shopping for needed or rare gun parts before the days of eBay or Gunbroker.com. Though I still enjoy sifting through gunpart bins at gunshows, shopping on line is really the way to go.

    Make sure you get a "bound book". I got mine from Brownell's that is great.

    I'm not sure what the purpose of the wallet card is, I got mine with my renewal. Seems rather useless actually.
