M2 Carbine

[Mike D]

A friend who owns a carbine with an M2 receiver has brought it to me to fix. I haven't even broke it down yet, but I think it just needs a trigger housing pin and a good cleaning.

The gun does not have all its M2 parts and is currently semi-auto only. Despite these facts, it is still an M2 receiver, and my friend legally owns it.

It has a GI M2 walnut stock. Doesn't look like a pot-belly? Crossed cannons on right side, IO in slingwell and a M R just outside the sling well. Is that a rebuild mark? There is no circle P?

Also has an M2 slide. Not sure what other parts are in there yet.

I'll break it down in a little while and give more info on the parts. I was thinking about filling out a data sheet.

Please ask questions, as I will, too. I know more than the average Joe about carbines, but still a novice, really. I've never had the chance to handle an M2, and would like to learn what I can, while I can, about this gun. Your questions and comments will surely help.

More to come...especially after the kids go to bed! Mike D
