    Question "Rock Ola" ? Carbine on GB (what is it?)

    Hi:

    Look at WWII ROCKOLA M1icon CARBINE 30 US ROCK OLA * : Curios and Relics at GunBroker.com
    , described as
    'WWII MILITARY ROCKOLA M1 CARBINE SER#1585041, EXCELLENT GUN WITH CORRECT ROCKOLA PARTS'.

    I thought the starting S/N for RockOla was 1,662,520. What do you think this really is, a Quality Hdwe receiver with a mix of Rock Ola parts?

    Is there value to it, any that you see?

    Thanks!

    A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered.  Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping.  In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail.

    The first digit looks like a 4 that was stamped close to the edge and not completely there.

    Okay that makes sense for the S/N ranges 453210-4632099. I thought the same thing about it being possibly a 4, but it's late and I was not sure about it being a 4. You really can't make out 'Rock Ola' on the receiver...
