A couple of M1 Carbines

[tx81]

Can you take a closer look by the serial number behind the rear sight??? I have a Rock-Ola and mine says so right "above" the serial number. Looks like it might be hidden by your rear sight.

Best that I can gather from internet sources, Rock-Ola made only about 4% of all M1 Carbines.

Great find, nonetheless!!

I'm pretty sure it's Quality, as it falls in the serial # range assigned to Quaility Hardware.

Anyone have info. on the 59 in front of the triggerguard?

I'll try to add pics of the internals when I get a chance.

Anyone know if the DCM kept records of the carbines they sold in the 60's?
