Just my opinion, but I think you should leave that carbine alone. It looks like a nice, early post WWII re-build that has probably not been messed with. It looks to have been refinished during re-build and will be costly to restore. I think it's a shame to restore fresh from re-build military weapons when there are so many guns that have been through an arsenal more than once or altered since being released to the civilian market.

So Jim, your saying it was mandated that any stampings had to be struck lightly ?

I think I said the ones I've seen have been lightly stamped. This one with more force.

So what is your opinion , real or fake ?

Here is a pic from a thread posted long ago, notice how the Trimble is stamped heavier on the left side just like Scott's . Also, I'd imagine that if the stock got wet the end grain of the wood where the sling cut is woul swell up causing the letters to shrink a bitAttachment 53183

I don't think he wants to give it a full restoration, just put on as many QHMC parts, after all we determined the barrel has the wrong date

correct. I'd just like to shoot it and collect the correct parts to trade out for the ones I have. I am not refinishing it etc.
