First USGI M1 Cabine Purchase; Saginaw

[JimF4M1s (Deceased)]

Welcome to the forum.

It appears to be rebuilt with late features. I'm a bit opposite of Mike. I like the look of the push safety. I can see where you could drop the mag, though I have never done it. The stock is repairable. There are a couple guys here that can to amazing things with the wood. A few more pictures of parts and markings would help. I couldn't see a cartouche under the rack number on the right side.

I cannot find any cartouche on the stock. I guess it's possible it's under the white sticker. There is an obvious "A" on the left side of the stock at the grip. Just below the grip is a "P." There is also a "P" on the barrel. Add a few more images to help. Sorry if I added any dupes. Thanks again for everyone's help.

I do like the look of the push safety as well, just for myself for some reason I always push the magazine release. I do it with the flip as well, but I can feel the difference and then I realize what I'm doing before I do it. Maybe I have long fingers?

I only mentioned be out of battery firing because it happened to me once and I cracked a perfectly fine stock on an Inland. I didn't check it before hand and it was the first time I fired it.

I see the SG marks in your new photos. Very fine Carbine.

You are very used to the front push safety. Dropping the mag has always been a more deliberate move probably from the Army training and shoving empty mags into your shirt. These magazines are not the kind to just drop and leave.
