M1 INLAND RARE MID SIGHT

[Singer B]

I never divulge how many arms I have. I have a 14 and 7 Carbine Display that I rotate 20 on maybe once a year or so. 1 was my Fathers and it is never moved.
Best / Only picture I have right now shows just the 14 gun rack and 2 are missing. I think they were down for cleaning or cased for shooting. And a Remington 870 and WRA .22 pump jumped up to take their place.

Years ago I had to figure out how to securely store them:

It wasn't my fault that all your girlfriends had more fun with me budy

[painter777]

Pimping wasn't easy back then. Especially having to hear their complaints about your 'Short' barrel !
But what the h3ll you helped pay for my collection......

[jimb16]

Short barrel or carbine length? More "BANG" for your buck?

[painter777]

Welcome out Eddie,
Congrats on posting Bail

Your barrel is longer, you've only measured it back to the front of the gas cylinder.
Measure it from the muzzle back to the backside of the front receiver ring- Chamber area.

Or measure like Jim - BAR mentioned back in reply #29 by using a cleaning rod, until you touch the closed bolt.

Don't cut yourself 'Short'

Question for you and you don't need your Lawyer present:
Any markings on your rear Flip Sight Base and or / on the Leaf ?

Hey Charlie,

I was on vacations at Puerto Vallarta.

Tx for your concern and the bail.

This is the only mark I found in the rear sight and leaf.

My guess is a 15" barrel if that picture was taken with the handguard and rear sight still in place. Didn't feel like taking one apart to compare the measurement between the gas cylinder and muzzle. - Bob

[painter777]

GI Bob,
You drinking again ?
You can see in the picture that at least the stock is off.
Would the barrel be longer or shorter with the HG Off ?
I'm trying to figure your angle.

Been a long Winter there hasn't it Ole boy ?

[USGI]

I'm trying to figure your angle.

Only had about a week of winter, so far - in the 50's here today.

Remember that earlier, we had a discussion on how to get the gun apart - because it sounded like the hole in the top of his HG was too small to let it come off without removing the sight first.
Weren't you late getting here again on this one? EDIT: I was wrong again - he was here the 1st day it was posted!

BAR suggested drifting out the pin to remove the sight leaf. You were anxious to see the Rock-Ola parts inside, so I suggested sliding the band forward and lifting the action out with the HG attached.

I thought this recent picture might have been taken with the action out and the HG still held in place by the rear sight. I don't know what order he took his pictures in!

Go measure how far it is from the gas cylinder to the muzzle on one of yours - about 3" more?

Don't be pickin' on us old guys all the time! - Bob
