Tell Me I'm Right To Call BS On This..

Maybe the Korean war?
Without documents, buy the gun not the story.
It is an I.P. that went through a rebuild.
They're around, the CMP sold or is selling some.
Unless it has an import stamp, the price is in the ballpark, I don't see a problem. JMHO.....Frank

Frank,

Do you really think that $2200 is a ballpark price? The receiver is IP, the barrel, sling maybe ok. But everything else looks mixed up. Low wood stock, didn't show markings. I see parts from a $700-$800 rebuilt carbine with an IP receiver. I don't think the receiver alone adds another $1400. I would want to see how all the parts are marked. I think it needs some S'G' or IP marked parts in it for that price.

Maybe I'm way off on current pricing?

I thought no IP's were accepted for use by the military? Their quality control issues was the reason Saginaw Gear was given their contract, wasn't it?

No it wasn't the quality of their carbines that lost IP the contract. It was management problems that could not get their act together and to get the carbine into production. If it had been a problem with the quality then you never would have seen the first carbines made by S'G' made with most if not all IP made parts and then later with a mix of IP and S'G' made parts.
