I found a Triggerguard for my NPM

[sakorick]

I found a Type II triggerguard for my NPM marked N 9. Please don't tell me it's the wrong one as that hammer spring is a tough cookie. What would be a correct band for SN 4310126? It's got a AMCO band on it now. Regards, Rick.

If your trying to match the trigger housing to be correct for your serial number then the N 9 is not right as it was used about spring time 1943. Your serial number would be closer to the end of production in April 1944. A correct one would be marked N 14 or maybe even N 16. As to your barrel band a type 2 band without the lug unmarked would be correct for your serial number.

Hello Bruce. Is there any documentation to support this? The guy who sold it to me cited a source that said the type II was correct for my SN. I am not a happy camper right now. Regards, Rick.

Riesch's book says that a type II trigger housing, and a type II unmarked barrel band are correct for your serial number. However, Riesch does not say what N# should be correct for your serial number. Bruce obviosly has the info that would tell what approx N# is correct.

I have never seen a picture of a original NPM with a type 2 band. Anybody got a picture of one?

For SN 4310126 you need an N 16 trigger housing and a type 1 band with the wide sling swivel.

Thanks, however, without a reference on the trigger housing, I'm screwed. Regards, Rick.

Big deal....just buy an N16 and switch it out. It is not hard and another housing is not expensive. Then sell your N9. Problem solved.

First off, I don't and would never challenge the honesty or professional opinions of anyone on this forum. It is clear I need a N16 trigger housing and will try to find one. It just bugs me that I purchased the wrong housing and believed the seller's word that his housing was correct for my rifle. Will someone please post the SN range that would be correct for the M9 housing. Then I can sell it armed with the truth and not make the same mistake the seller made.....I don't want to sell something that isn't correct as my knowledge of the M1 Carbine is that of a true novice. My intent was not to offend anyone..... just tried to find some empirical evidence to support my claim to the seller. Regards, Rick.
