M1A1 Carbine drop bag

[RCS]

My story started out with a nice about correct Quality Hardware carbine sn 1603422 with a nice Underwood 7-43 dated barrel. I had this for years and it had a nice (and rare) IBM cherry high wood stock. I am not that much into carbine collecting so I posted some photo of the QH and IBM stock - someone saw my photos and a collector sent me an email with a nice offer for just the IBM stock, I sold the stock

I checked my stocks and remembered that I had a damaged Inland M1A1 stock with really nice metal. Also had a Inland M1A1 stock still in the wrap (new old stock) but without metal.
I then installed the new M1A1 stock with metal from the damaged stock on my Quality Hardware carbine. While not original it was still put together with WW2 period parts and looks nice too. third photo shows the IBM stock rest are M1A1
