ARGH!!! I just had to do it Put a Standard Products "in jail" today

Here's the Standard Products "on duty". With a 30 in the weapon, and two 15s in the stock pouch, I don't feel under-gunned. I have four more 30s in a M2 Carbine magazine pouch with a shoulder strap in the Jeep.
THe stock is something between an early non-potbelly M2 stock and a potbelly one. Maybe a potbelly that was sanded down. It feels better in the hand than the standard M1 stock. I can't wait to bench shoot the SP for group size.

How are you getting ones that sights line up right away!!!! Wild. Great carbine and I love the background!

The Standard Products "on patrol".

I keep a 30 in the weapon and two 15s on the stock in a pouch, giving me 60 rounds just grabbing the weapon (This is what I did on the SO, back in the day). I have four 30s in the nylon pouch on the seat, so I have 120 more rounds handy. If I need more than than, I'm screwed!

I would get a real 30 round mag pouch, but that's just me. They are around.

I actually have two of the real 30 rounder pouches. If I had room on my duty belt, I'd use a GI M2 pouch! They work better than the ALICE pouch on a belt, but no where near as well as a shoulder snatch and grab bag!

My match-winning carbine is also a Special Products mixmaster, No 2200xxx. Also with Underwood barrel, dated 1x-44 (I really cannot make out the second figure).

But about 1.5" further back towards the breech end there is another marking: letters I and A, serif characters, about 5/32 high, with the I centered on the A to create a symmetrical monogram above a date 7-61.

Does this indicate some kind of arsenal makeover, bore refresh or what? It is not an importer's mark or German proof mark, with which I am familiar.

Any ideas?

Nice pics. You are one bad mo jo. You could take down a mountain lion, and a few bad guys, all in a few moments!!!! I'm sure the guys that employ you are glad you are on their side.

WOW! I just did an additional function test on the Standard Products at work tonight. I found a local source for 110 JSP PPU (Prvi Partizan) at $23 a box of 50. Using my AYP 30 round magazines and the Standard Products, I first checked for POA compared to the RP ammo I have been using. At 25 yards, the POA was the same as the Remington. I then shot 2 magazines of 30 110 JSP PPU ammo, as fast as I could pull the trigger. Zero malfunctions. Fed slick as ball ammo. So far this SP carbine feeds R-P 110 FMJ and 110 JSP, Lake City Vietnam era ammo, and now PPU soft point. In several hundred rounds from 30 round magazines, I have zero malfunctions.
