I own a M1 Carbine Stamped ALPINE with a Four digit Serial #?

**mrung0wa** · 02-24-2013 03:48 AM

I bought it at a pawn shop over 20 years ago and have always wondered who in the hell manufactured it? I've never heard of an Alpine Co. Save for the Stereo Company? I doubt that it was made by them. The stock had the Pre-'46 stamp on it in two places (who's to say that some one didn't put that on from another rifle.) Anyway any light that anyone could shed on my mystery would be appreciated very much.

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. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Lawrence,

Bill has already welcomed you, so I'll just say Hi.

Besides the good folks here, we have a lot of information available. Either by using our sticky section above, or the search feature in the tool bar.

I hope it is of interest to you.

Wow! Gee thanks fellas for all the info! The mystery has been solved. I accumulated quite a number of replacement parts from attending Gun Shows throughout the years. It's good to know now that my carbine is 100% compatible. That makes me happy. Thanks again for all your guy's help!

Your barrel may be made from a 1903 barrel. I had an Alpine and thats the barrel I had.

Frenchkat,
The link above states All the barrels used on Alpines were made from 03 barrels.

Alpine M1 Carbine

I recently ran across a stock made from Alder, looks very much like a all most grain less Birch.

mrung0wa,
What type stock do you have?

Thx,
