Ordered a Stock for my Carbine today - CMP

[vonfatman]

I recently picked up a REALLY nice condition carbine. It's Parkarizing was immaculate. A nice gun that looks to have gone through the arsenal and then left to do nothing but sit in the corner.

The only "fly in the ointment" was the seller had felt the stock needed to be slicked up....so when he bought it (in the 60s) he sanded the stock a bit and put a finish on it....he did a great job...but that's not what I prefer.

So I was thinking when a nice (had to be as nice at the gun's metal finish) stock set came to my attention, well, I'd try to pick one up and switch stocks.

Today I'm looking at CMPs site and see these beautiful new stocks for M-1 Carbines. I did not really want to pile another $150 into this little carbine, but what a match for this nice gun! I can not wait to get this new stock installed!

Here are a few pic of the gun (as is). I think you can see how nice (and appropriate - if not correct) a new stock will look on this gun.

Hope the wait is not too long!
