This is a very nice carbine. Are you aware that Quality Hardware made exactly ONE part for their carbines? The receiver, and they chose an improved type of spring tube design, one that everyone else stopped producing when they received fresh deep hole drilling machines. So automatically every other part came from someone else.
My NPM is an Italianreturn bought from CMP
, it has an original barrel and happens to have a NPM N16 trigger housing filled with Winchester parts. The stock is a beat up Inland I cut with a wonderful color and fit. This gun shoots 9-10 ring w/a SR-1 target at 100 yards.
Yours has enough rare parts to make up hundreds of dollars of value. You have a genuine, guaranteed type 1 band, try finding one today that isn't fake. I would wager that it shoots lights out since that type 3 rear sight was installed at an armory, not pounded in backwards by Joe Smokem in his garage. I suspect that type 2 bands are even more valuable since they were only used for a short while.
I would be very happy with your purchase and I wouldn't change a thing. It is a little jewel at today's prices for these weapons.
