Cops and Robbers

[sakorick]

Back in the 50's the Detroit Police Department issued M1 Carbines to many officers in various precincts. A few years ago, Allan from Allan's Armory got four of these and offered them for sale for $450.....I got the nicest one, an Inland SN 5077355. I really love this carbine and take it with me when downrange on the farm. I have taken 4 Yotes and a Bobcat with the gun and it has never jammed or been the slightest problem. I have accumulated lots of spare parts while restoring several carbines and used these parts to trade for Inland parts. At this time it has a correct rear sight, trigger group, buttplate, recoil plate, bolt, slide and mag catch. Other than the front sight, band and safety she is pretty much all Inland.....oops, the stock is unmarked and the handguard is a Winchester. I take real good care of this gun and oil the stock with linseed oil regularly. So here is the DPD's 7th Precinct rack 18 still getting the "bad guys" Regards, Rick.
