Hello! I new to this forum, but not the interwebz. Over the weekend I was able to pick up a new rifle that Ive been wanting for a while now. I purchased a National Postal Meter M1icon Carbine. After shooting one recently on the anniversary of D-Day, it was immediately added to my 'must have list'. There are LOTS I dont know about this rifle, so Im out to find out everything I can. Right now my biggest questions are:

1) where the heck did that sling come from? It has some kind of chinese (Korean? or who knows) characters on it??

2) when was it manufactured. Serial number is 1,457,873

3) What kind of stock is on it? I cant find any cartouche markings, and its surface is pretty rough.

Anyway, I cant wait to get out and put some lead down range.

Here are some pictures:
