Something Wonderful My Way Cometh....

I am really tickled. Apparently Springfield Armory only made these stocks between 1949 and 1954. It looks like it is NOS, with only the first coat of linseed oil on it, I doubt if the stock had been on any other Carbine before this one. The barrel is original (there is a second barrel shadow from the type I band, underneath), but less than 1 ME, and crisp, bright rifling. It has all the upgrades that they would have put on for Korea or Vietnam. All it is lacking is a round bolt.

Great, clean, solid carbine. I'll add my stock pouch and leather handled M4 Bayonet. It will be as good of a little war-fighter as it was back in the day..Cant wait to shoot it. I think I may use it as my Home Defense Carbine.
