Looks like there is a Herlo USGI M1 Carbine barrel ,new in the wrap on Gunbroker right now .
The same seller had a Herlo for sale a few weeks ago with auction number 240365595 .
Scary stuff :
I had an early M1A for a number of years and finally sold it. The serial number was somewhere around 001970 or close to that . I do not recall how many zeros the SN included.

Here's some info on the M1 Carbine from the Terminal Ballistics subforum of M4carbine.net :
M1 Carbines - M4Carbine.net Forums
Covers things like typical wound profiles , role of the Carbine ,...
That is a very impressive KB .
Sound like bullets for the pre-WW2 load for Springfield '03 and 1917 rifles.
Should average around 172 or 173 . Could be worth some money in the original box.

I'm a little confused . What does PI stand for and is any there info concerning how the long the Carbine was under local rural Police dept control. Any clues as to the US seller , importer etc.
Kind of an apples & oranges thing .

Bump for 9-11.
Ahmed Shah Massoud , the national hero of most of A-stan was murdered by two al-Qaeda operatives on 9-11 . A smart move by the bad guys.
Out of time.
FWIW:
Looks like a series of decisions made by by elected and appointed officials and then carried out by civilians and military people who often hated thier jobs. OK , at least some aspects of...

That's a very nice rifle , thanks for posting .

Seems fine now.
I agree , the need was very real.
There were lots of Carbines in use -- and not just by the part-time Homeland Defense Reserve Forces .
