MY first carbine I owned, I bought in the early 1980s, in Bellevue Washington at a small gun shop. It was a 90%+ early Winchester with flip sight, Type one band, and a beautiful cartouched stock. It came with some bandoleers of USGI ammo, a stock pouch and three 15s, and a couple GI 30 rounders in a 50s dated pouch. It also had a C tip sling. My dad carried an Inland M1icon Carbine in WW2, and I had fired my cousin's DCM carbine as a kid. I always wanted a carbine, when I found this one. I no longer remember what I paid, but it was a lot of money in 1982 dollars. I actually got 2"+ groups regularly with it at 100 yards, BUT...

I WAS STUPID!!!!!! I wanted one with adjustable sights and a bayonet leg, so about a year later I traded it for a mixmaster! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!~ I did keep the mags, pouches, and ammo, though.
