goldplated m1 carbine

**jjh** · 07-26-2010 08:03 PM

stopped at a pawn shop today and saw a late model Inland that some one gold plated. the only thing that was not plated was the bolt. even the mag. was plated. It was in a stock that had a pistol grip in the front and a wire piece in the back that went into the stock when you pushed a button. price was $900.00 what a deal. any one else ever seen one of this.

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

I guess Soddom had to pawn his gold plated carbine before the invasion in 2005....

Sorry, couldn't resist...

ReTired has it right....Sounds like a "faked" Saddam bring home.

The stock sounds like one of the commercial Plainfield "paratrooper" type. They aren't bad, but not G.I. by any means. They have a reputation for the wood channel splitting where the wire butt stock collapses into, at the rear of the receiver. Look closely if you are thinking of purchasing and maybe get a few bucks off due to that.

You can look on GunBroker and search either Plainfield, or Iver Johnson and see these stocks quite regularly.
