4 Quality Hardware Boltless Racker Carbines

[ArizonaBeagle]

These are 4 Quality Hardware boltless carbines that my brother-in-law and I just received from CMP.

Two have Rock Ola barrels dated 1944 and one has an Inland barrel (date?) and the other is unmarked as far as I can see. However it does have some Israeli markings on it, including the stock (numbered/not matching), which is the only one that has the I cut in the sling slot.

All the stocks appear to have been power washed in Brake-Kleen© as the wood is dried and there is not a drop of grease anywhere to be found. The top stock has a crack on both sides and appears to have been glued at some point. (not successfully)

The one with the potbelly stock is in the best condition overall. It also has the only push button safety.

The rest look like they have been in more than one war (which is possible)

I am in the process of getting more pictures.

Beagle,

My first impression of your boltless carbines can best be summed up in a statement my 14 year old daughter has been known to use from time to time. While I know I can not accurately convey the actual emotion, please let me see if I can share with your the overall impression.... and I quote... "I hate you... I HATE you... I HATE YOU!!!!!!"

Now, congratulations on your receipt of such enjoyable carbines... make you shoot them in good health (and leave them to me in your will).
