My Shooter Pics - Finally! (pic heavy)

[Mike D]

OK - Finally got her cleaned up and photographed. As I said previously, I answered an ad in the local "trader paper". Went out to the guys house and looked it over. Thought the serial # was in the 5 mil range. No big deal, I was just wantin' a shooter. When I brought her home, I noticed it was 579760. Cool, a pleasant surprise! Barrel date is 8-43, which I found out seems to be original thanks to some of y'alls help. It's bright and shiney, and looks good on the bullet test.

My only other carbine is a nice 6-digit Inland with early parts, all Inland. I kinda felt bad takin' it to the range and plinkin' with it, so this one, with a late mix of parts is just what I needed.

Underwood bolt
Saginaw firing pin, extractor, trigger housing(cute dimples)
Rock-Ola hammer
Quality Hardware sear
Inland trigger, milled rear sight, barrel band
Winchester recoil plate
IBM handguard, and maybe stock (TN)
Not sure on op slide N over 15, NPM?
Front sight RIA, is that Rock Island?
Safety is M inside a horseshoe, post-war replacement?
Faint rebuild stamp AA?

Plus an IS marked oiler and a C-tip sling that I think is khaki, what's your opinion?

Not bad for $400, eh?

If you guys could help me with those few questions I have, I would appreciate it.
