Very nice!

Bill, What is the story of your UNQ….original? restoration? The broadside views are a little blurry and difficult to see the details any chance of some closer pictures and some of the internals if possible.

Thanks John, Will take some pics asap, The carbine is the way I rec it, Never did a thing to it. The whole carbine has the correct parts as far as I know(and thats very little) Inland barrel 44/Em-Q bolt,slide DA-Q the hammer LT-Q, Trigger guard QN-L rear sight GE-Q also sear and recoil and stock. I have the privilege of only two of these UN-Quality carbine the other being a high wood that one is with a bayonet lug and post rear sight.(no stakes marks) Every thing else is quality. With a nice dog leg hammer. I will post some pics as soon as I can. Thanks Bill

These are mixed shots, I hope you can tell which are which. Two are UN-Qualities and one is a paratrooper. The last photos are of part of my collection.

Thanks for your interest, Bill

I was aware that M1A1's were originally all Inland manufacture but any manufacturer's M1 could be found in a folding stock if rebuilt. It just seems that the mag catches in you UN-Q's should be just the opposite of what they are now.
Thanks for the tip about the flip leaf staking, maybe if I scour War Baby! I'll get the answer about those particular QHMC serial number ranges. I've been trying to study up on QHMC as that's one of the four carbine manufacturers I've yet to add to my collection.
If you had a chance to check out the link I posted to an earlier thread you can see why I was perplexed to discover a QHMC that appears to be in original condition residing in an M1A1 stock that bears rebuild stamps. It just doesn't make sense.

My UN-Q has the X staking on the flip sight pin.

My UN-Q has the X staking on the flip sight pin.

Thanks, jimb16! Just as I was going to ask the next obvious question about the QHMC "X" sight pin staking, I found the answer in Carbine Club newsletter # 235. As my interests shift from one carbine manufacturer to another, I find it's worthwhile to go through my back issues of the CC newsletter for the answer. Great stuff, well worth the CC membership dues.
