Went to a small antique gun show today and out of 10 carbines, 8 of them were still in the WW 2 configuration, and 2 of them were M1A1's, how did these guns skip the mod,s after WW2, no type 3 barrel bands, the eight of them still had the flip sights etc. were these carbines left overseas after the war ? are all of them fakes ? a few of them looked really good.
There were no rebuild stamps on the wood ? how would a carbine skip the rebuild after WW 2 ?
Are there any real Carbines out there that were left that way ? and how did did they get by ?
Thanks.Information
