Hi All,

Just found the site and will have plenty of questions. Collecting and shooting very limited for 15 years now (Garands, 1911s). Recently acquired my first two M1icon Carbines, and why I waited 40 years is a mystery since I love the carbine.

First was an import (micro Arlington Arms on the barrel underside), arsenal rebuilt UEF, 2.37 which I believe was Sep. '44 production. Great metal (Re-Parkerized) and bore and a tack driver on the range. New Boyd stock (w/ many coats of hand rubbed BLOicon) to replace the POS Potbelly. She's a beauty.

Second is a NPM, 1.95 (Sep. '43) with all early features to include a nice NPM/FJA high wood stock. “Marlin” barrel, great Parkerizing, and most parts are matching. However when I got it home and apart, I found out it’s an early Century Arms Import (hand scribed markings on the receiver under the stock). Bottom line, in my opinion, still a very original early features Carbine… import or not.

Comments?

Pictures to follow.

Cheers...
