Share Your Carbine Display

[Faulkner]

Mine stay in the gun vault as well, but I do show them often to folks who visit the man cave in my basement.

After losing 13 guns in a break-in back in 2004 I am too scared to have my carbines displayed, just too many meth head low life bastards here in rural MO. My carbines are for my eyes only.

Fantastic looking collection! Any chance you got pictures of the tiger striped carbine in the picture by itself, and some details on it or the stock. Looks like a Victoria Secret model hidden in a dark closet

LMTmonoman, First off welcome to this forum. As far as the tiger striped stock goes I don't currently have any good pictures that show how pretty it is, that particular stock came from the CMP on my 6 digit inland. The stock is a SA pot belly, it has an Italian FAT stamp on the left side and the carbine's serial # is stamped between the oiler slot and butt on the right side.

LMT,

Welcome to the forum.

Not just on stocks, you might try using the search feature in the tool bar for past threads on items of interest. And the guys here are very helpful as well.

Enjoy, Jim

I understand, and thanks very much for the information. Interesting to note, a recent 6 digit Inland I just got has a mint walnut SA stock without any other marking except "91" in the front of the magwell on the underside of the stock. Also interesting is that I've recently seen a couple SA tiger striped stocks, just not nearly as pronounced as what yours appears to be. I had no clue just how nice the potbelly M2 SA stocks were to recently.

Thanks for the Welcome Jim, super glad to be a part of this forum now. Also noted in regards to using the search function. I kept coming to forum over the last 6 months while researching carbine information, and it yielded excellent results. Also great to read Bill Ricca's post on this forum.

Seldom seen WW2 rack that holds both carbines and M1 rifles with two separate locking bars. Note the WW2 drawing number on the rack though photos are old you can still see the details, you can bolt another rack on top of this one. (long story how I got the rack years ago)Attachment 94614Attachment 94613Attachment 94612Attachment 94611

Hey Charlie, thanks so much for the welcome, and the most excellent list of members to follow. Certainly helps expedite my learning curve around here. I'd also like to note that your name very much deserves to be on the "in the know" list, as I've already gotten significant help, and information from you in another location. I've now know that if I questions on stocks, you and James are my experts!


I can only hope to have a collection like the amazing ones so far displayed in this thread. Now I know where all the nice carbines went
