    Firearms Auction

    Thought some of you might find this interesting:
    Firearms

    James Julia firearms auction. Some good stuff, and I am curious what everyone thinks about the two carbines. Both advertised as M2, both marked M1icon, but obviously with the M2 guts.

    One has mostly what appears to be mostly early features (looks reparked, perhaps some sort of post-war conversion), with a Standard Products reciever.
    The other carbine is a Plainfield in the M2 configuration. Never seen/heard of that, but that means nothing.

    For everyone's interest...........

    Its hard to imagine that there are people capable of actually building such a historic and wide collection of firearms. What a life they must have. Must be nice!

    You never should have posted the auction link. Marcus will have to buy some.

    I'll keep that in mind
    Actually, a couple of years ago, one of their firearms auctions had an M1A1icon with documented provenance to Normandy (IIRC, a general "obtained" it from a dead paratrooper and carried it for the remainder of the war) that went for some insane sum.
