Welcome! I am very new here as well, and very new to the M-1. One thing I have found out is that there is an absolute wealth of info on this forum. Lots of good reading.

Wow I opened a can up in a good way ..... I appreciate the interest and comments. She is a very nice rifle regardless of the trigger housing I was just looking to learn from you guys. I am a proud owner and will enjoy shooting and maintaining this rifle. The trigger housing is what it is. The trigger let off is real nice nand she shoots straight. If only I could find any ammo
Charlie777 I am in the Lansing area.

Ammo shouldn't be a problem...in your case Walmart or anything like that. It might not be ball ammo...you could order it from CMP.
Regards, Jim
And Charlie777 ..... there are no other marking on the wood or metal. She is very clean. So I guess the answer is No Import Markings. Heck maybe the stock is not correct for a NPM being a S-HB made by the baseball bat company. I am all smiles every time I pull it out of the asfe to fondle her.

Anything on your carbine you'd like me to go over.
Send me a E-mail or PM.
Cheers,

Sorry BAR, I didn't read your reply.
After reading the OP's comment about his Trigger Housing, I searched for a older posting where I knew this had came up before and Jim M had commented about.
Picked up an Inland today...questions a plenty!
It's all good info.

Several weeks ago, a local gun shop had a National Ordnance carbine with a "plum" colored TH. I think it was an Inland housing, but figured at the time that National had probably reblued it as discussed above. I've got my own Inland with a "plum" housing, but it looks more like parkerizing. Maybe it was done without the careful prep work that browningautorifle (Jim) described earlier? Mine shoots fine, and I just consider it a part of the rifle's history. The attached picture is of mine - it's also got a replacement hammer in it. - Bob
That's almost certainly what the problem was. If you bead blast and blue, you get a nice matt finish but it's not as durable as parkerizing. The purple is from a cold solution, or maybe not as strong as it could be. It's just cosmetic though. Rest assured, originals didn't come that way. It wouldn't be accepted.
Walmart has a two box limit? That's stunning. They're all about money, I can't imagine...
