Saginaw M1 Carbine find

[Bruce McAskill]

The best thing you can do is to take photos of this carbine including the serial number. If it was made in May 1943 it is one of the first 1521 made. So right now it's buyer beware. The photos should be close ups of the rear sight on both sides, the barrel band both sides, the stock if it's as early as stated then it should be an I cut oiler in the stock as well as a high wood. But before anyone here can comment on this carbine we do need to see it. Far to many fake parts are out there and again I say "Buyer beware".
