Standard Products carbine - trying to verify components as correct.

[2AD_Vet]

Hi Folks,

I have a Standard Products carbine that I had rebuilt a few years back to ensure it was safe to shoot and as a restoration rifle, I think it is mostly correct for it's manufacture and serial range but would like verification help from you. It is my intent to have it as close to 'correct' as possible and only containing parts that were legitimatly available for that maker during the year of issue.

I have inventoried it and the below listed component markings were found. My question is what, if any, of my current parts would not be correct for the rifle given the serial number and Manufacture, and if one is wrong, what should be there instead?

Thanks for you help!

On barrel top 'P'
on barrel bottom- looks like 'Calist A VT' , on barrel top rear '3'
on barrel rear right side 'M' (or maybe its '14')

Take pictures of the components and post them on here. Members like to see pictures. Looks like you have a lot of correct parts, and is probably import stamped.

Why would you think this was an import?

[Bill Hollinger]

That "Calist A VT" is actually CA Inc, VT (Century Arms) That is an import stamp.

Thanks, I had the barrel replaced as part of the rebuild and that is what they put on. I will contact them and have it changed out to a proper barrel!

That could be big dollars.

They used a barrel that had come off an imported carbine some time in the past. The import marked barrels do not have the value of an unmarked one. You need an Underwood barrel dated around 11-43 or 12-43.

Stay away from Riverbank..................

Very nice looking carbine from what we can see of it.

DITTO what Charlie said... Stay FAR away from Riverbank/ABCLeigh!

I hope the people who replaced your barrel will accommodate you. Bruce is correct about the barrel they used being much less desirable, and if they know anything about carbines they should have known it is.

As Rustship said, please take some close-up (macro) photos of the parts you can see. Particularly the barrel band and rear sight.

I'll go out on a limb here, the sling doesn't appear "correct"
