Photos of my first M1 Carbine

Look closely at sling well mark, do you see JLB?
that crossed cannon is bigger then the Jewel CC

for the bolt look carefully on the lugs or on body of bolt under the small lug for a mark.

Recoil plate appears to have a line on the top, can you confirm. if so its a cast replacement

your front sight is a replacement when they upgraded rear sight and/or barrel band

Wow, new2brass you really know your stuff sir. I looked closely and yes now that I know what to look for it does say JLB in the sling well. Under the small lug we have a .U. and yes, there is a line on the recoil plate. It is almost easier to feel it than to see it but it does look cast now that you point it out. I can see a small "P" on the front sight. So is all this in keeping with the Augusta Arsenal rebuild or did this all happen later? Oh, I also added a photo of the slide mark which was left out of the original batch I think.
