Long time lurker.. first time poster
So i just got a m1 carbine for 625$ .
What I know...
1. Buffalo Arms 12-1943 barrel
2. Saginaw Trigger Guard Bayo Lug
3.Milled rear sight H.I marked
4. Front Sight EU marked (not sure what EU stands for)
5. Receiver is a Postal Meter Union Switch Contract
6. Not import marked,
Now the barrel, bayo lug has a light parkerized finish, but the receiver, and sight has a dark black finish.
Is this normal? I have 2 other carbines in the house (a 1943 Underwood and a 1944 inland) and none of those have this type of finish on the receiver.
Any insight and chatter is welcome, i know more about mosins than m1s Thus is why i am here
