Sharing my CC Data Sheet

[USGI]

I believe both the recoil plate and recoil plate screw "boxes" are meant only for the M1. I usually put (4) red dashes (hyphens) in boxes where I have no input, to indicate those boxes weren't overlooked. It is a very "busy" form! I have an Inland M1 with a s/n in the 400K range, and just finished comparing my data sheet with HDSledge's. A lot of the choices made when filling out these forms are subjective in nature. I marked my dogleg hammer as "white" (no finish) but it could be blued. I questioned the shape of his "N" front sight but went back, took a look at his pictures, and agree. The unmarked handguard - not sure on that one. I do see discrepancies with the slide stop, barrel skirt, slide type, and mag catch. Not all are pictured, but some parts on his M1A1 appear to be later designs than the ones on my M1. But, I've learned there are reasons why that sometimes happened - I do have to admit that's the nicest looking "Paratrooper" I've ever seen - as well as excellent photos! - Bob

Thanks Bob,

I took it to a friend who collects to look at and he wouldn't stop holding it. I was afraid he was not going to let me have it back.

Data Sheet: CrossedCanons and ISGI are correct. The boxes are indeed supposed to be checked on the slide section according to the archivists. The example they sent me shows the boxes filled in obscuring the letters.

They also pointed out the handguard. I couldn't find a noticeable mark anywhere on it so I left it blank. When I have it out in the spare stock I will look again. I read somewhere that not all handguards have a mark. (uscarbinecal30?) I'll try some contrast lighting and filters within photoshop to see if I can spot a mark.

Re. slide stop, barrel skirt, slide type, and mag catch. My slide stop has a detent area like the one in selection 2. Drawing does not seem to be to scale though on the dimensions. My mag catch is definitely the type 2. The inventory sheet for my serial number indicates a type 2 slide, a type 2A mag catch and either a type 2 or 3 slide stop.

What is a type 3 slide stop? It is not on the sheet as a choice. What is the type 2A mag catch? Also did you mean chamber skirt? Mine is definitely the short one.
My arm joint is a type 1 not a type 2.

Thanks guys!

Getting closer? Thanks.

Not there yet. Going to fill in some other blanks with n/a, etc.

Slide info was off, it is E169A. I see how this form is one you probably don't get right the first time (or third) .

Here is what I have so far:

slide stop, barrel skirt, slide type, and mag catch. - Bob

You nailed every one. Just pulled out the slide stop and it is the top one.
