    UN-QUALITY M1 Carbine photos

    I went to the Salem Va. gun show to help a friend buy an AK-47. We didn't find him an AK but I found this old UN-QUALITY M1icon Carbine. What do you think of it ??

    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.

    Does the barrel date 3-44 fall into the time frame? My understanding is the US&S receivers were delivered late 1943 and first quarter 1944.

    Looks quite nice. Does it have any cast parts? Trigger, sear, or hammer?

    What are the markings in the sling well? Looks like an old cartouche under the smaller one.

    QHMC's are know to have a circle around them. I have a couple with it and there have been a few COM's that also have that feature. Cartouche looks good to me.
    Wtmr, you know a thing or two about UN-Quality's??

    I haven't had time to tear it down yet. Front sight is EU marked. Stock has Q RMC in sling cutout. Rear flip sight is GE-Q. The seller said it was all Quality inside. Price was $2250 and I got it for $2000. Seller said he got it from a Greensboro NC policeman.
