Just received in my Carbine I had on order with the CMPicon.
It's been a long wait...


Thanks for looking, I have some questions based on the markings, hope you can help and let me know what and why.....

Finish is really good, rear sight, front sight, barrel, and receiver match in a black color. No pitting.

Receiver NPM ~Nov 43
Barrel Inland Jan 44 barrel
The dates are soo close it's weird.
I'm assuming by the color and it being an Inland barrel it's a rebuild?

On the bottom of the barrel, near the receiver, there are a ton of markings, any clue to what they mean?

But bore is bright, rifling is good.

Nice old original low wood with flat bottom forestock.
No marks on the stock, could only find a "T" on the bridge in the wood.
What does the "T" stand for?

The bolt is an old flat bolt, original greenish finish, matches nothing else on the rifle, typical mix master I assume.
Some very very very minor pitting in one or two spots.

The trigger group is blued. and a U in the mag well.
Seems to be Bavarian markings. The CMP note tag has BAV on it too... so I'm guessing it's so. 30 rnd mag latch in it.
Almost looks like the trigger guard was repaired, where the hoop meets the flat the "Bavarian" markings are on.??

Front sight an "N", original NPM sight?

Rear sight, milled, "P1"


The slide has an "M" on the inside on the flat, then the last 4 # of the s/n etched in. This M matches the M on the top of the barrel infront of the receiver.
Inside the front block of the slide there looks to be a "W" in there.
Looks different than the "M" on the flat of the slide.
What do these markings mean?

Like the slide, the bayo lug has the last 4 # of s/n eteched in on the bottom.
Are they there from those parts following the receiver during a rebuild?
