It has been a while since I posted in here. Work keeps me ever so busy, and Grandkids, Grandkids, Grandkids!! I just picked this up last night and it rounds up my chase for 1 of all the Manufacturers. I had just about given up of ever finding one of these, and it bounced up and hit me on the nose! I only have a few pictures, will breakdown and post later, but it has all IP parts except for a S'G' trigger. Seller had told me previous owner had sanded the stock, and I found a corrected crack, but it looks pretty well done. Cartouche is there but you have to look through a Magnifying glass, however it is visible with the naked eye, but barely. You have to take the bad with the good. These things aren't just on any street corner, but lucky me got to do a face to face deal.

WOW Rusty, nice carbine and I know you have been looking for an I.P. for some time. Congrats......Frank

Wow is right! Welcome back and what a sweet find!

What a nice clean carbine...and about the hardest to find at that!

[sakorick]

It just goes to show you that patience is a virtue. My dad told me years ago that you can always find something when you aren't looking for it. Great find Rusty.....it's a beauty and your collection is now complete with every one of the little darlings. That said.....I am not looking for one! Regards, Rick.

A little more time this morning.

Broke down this morning, these are some of the other parts, all marked with IP marking except for Trigger-marked S'G'. Extracter looks worn, but it is what it is. It's Used! Shame stock was sanded, Cross Cannons, and IP box barely visible.

That thing is a work of unbelievable art! What a score!
