    Need source for M1 Carbine parts.

    I have been contacted by a man who needs an operating rod and bayonet lug for an M1icon Carbine. I have offered to help him find a source of such parts. If you have such parts for sale or know of a reputable source please post or private the the information to me. I told him about Bill Ricca Surplus Sales.

    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. Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles. Brian Dick ...

    There is also a WWT/WTB forum you can post on.

    Selling items on discussion forums is against the rules.

    Thanks for the responses. I have notified him of Bill Ricca and Numrich Gunparts Corp.

    These two should suffice to get him started via telephone.

    Hundreds of parts on ebay. You have to be discerning but you can find most carbine parts there.

    Bayonet Lug

    Herschel:

    Maybe you have already advised him so, but if he intends to remove a barrel band without a bayonet lug from his carbine and replace it with a barrel band with a bayonet lug he may be diminishing the collector value and market value of the carbine significantly and irreversibly. If you posted a general description of his carbine many here would be glad to help him determine if mounting a bayonet lug band on the carbine is a wise option. FWIW

    As it is probably obvious to you Carbine collectors, I am not qualified to give advice about making a correct M1icon Carbine. I was just trying to help a man who was needing a couple of parts. He is not on the internet so can't take advantage of the knowledge that is available here. I think I have pointed him in the right direction to get parts. If he becomes a carbine collector he may want more appropriate parts for his carbine. Thanks for your help here.

    I think they were trying to tell you the WW2 era ones did not have a bayonet lug and are worth a lot more than one's from the Korean war that had bayonet lugs a big price drop if it's a WW2 era one and you put that bayonet lug on it could be a 300 dollar drop in value or more if he has money to burn. Unless it's a modern remake with out bayonet lug then he has nothing to loose.

    The need for parts that caused me to start this thread has been resolved. Parts are no longer needed. Thanks for all who responded.
