They are at it again

[Sarge1998]

Hey Sarge, the seller is Riverbank Armory, AKA Mitzy123, ABCleigh, m1carbineparts.com and a slough of others That is George.

Yes it appears he bought some receivers from JRA.
Rockola M1 Carbine Receivers

This was only posted as information. So some would not confuse it with a military surplus weapon.

This seller has been talked about many times before. I see no need to re hash and re bash them. Let's keep it civil.

and with spelling (RocXola) thought was george for sure, I guess we will have IBN's, National Pistol Meter, Underweed, Unland with Broken Motors barrels, OHMC, Nu-quality, and what not.

I'm pretty sure that is a 'K' that is too close to the 'C' and so slightly upset. I don't see anything wrong with selling these receivers with the obvious non-WWII serial numbers and stating they are 'new production'. I think the James River carbine is a little pricey. We'll see what the real world says when they begin to show up on GB.

I would sell a Rock-Ola made in 1944 for that price and it would have a real Rock-Ola barrel. But other parts mixed.
Like I said else where, Why not an UN-Q. I know, how about making it a spring tube Rock-Ola.
My choice would be CCC and a serial number of 69. That's the best of both worlds.

His price is $80.00 bucks more than the Manufacturer!

Are these manufactured by the people who do Fulton Armory's ? I am thinking of making a WWII repro carbine. With all the "early" parts being manufactured it would be a neat "trunk" gun.

I looked at the James River page. They make and mark those receivers Rockola. Looked like serial number 13 in their picture, cost $369 just for the receiver. $1195 for the complete carbine with type 3 band and adj sight.
A WW2 carbine in shooter condition would be a whole lot less money for a "trunk gun" then building one up from repo parts. And you would have the real thing.

But that's just one person's opinion.

Almost every Sunday JR is at the range test firing the carbines for function and accuracy. They fire a full mag rapidly and mark any that malfunctions. The owner said GI parts now cost and arm and a leg and that's the reason for high price. I have never purchased anything from JR just relaying my findings to the reader.

From a pure strength standpoint they are probably better than these modern made units. The receiver is not much of a problem part, extractors, slides, barrels all wear out. But they would wear just as bad on one of these put together units made by James River. A 68 year old weapon is just as good as when it was made and the US Government made very sure that all parts were made of the correct steel and to exact tolerances. I doubt if the same thing can be said for some put together unit using used parts of varying quality. They may look beautiful but that isn't a guarantee that they are up to par with the genuine article.
