Share Your Carbine Display

[painter777]

If you have 2 or 20, We're Interested in seeing how you display them.
I'll start out showing how a good friend Displays some of his Carbines.
In this first picture he'd removed some of the Carbines to show me some of the detail on the stand he had made. It sits on small caster wheels so he can roll it around. One of the back cabinets was once some type of antique china cabinet he adapted in to a display case.
He 'Volunteered' back in the (IIRC) late 70's and 80's at the CMP South Store. So he had the chance to hand pick a few of his Carbines.









1 or 100 we welcome you sharing some pictures

Thanks,

There was no CMP south store in the 70's or 80's but nice display especially the rolling rack.

After losing 13 guns in a break-in back in 2004 I am too scared to have my carbines displayed, just too many meth head low life bastards here in rural MO. My carbines are for my eyes only.

Fantastic looking collection! Any chance you got pictures of the tiger striped carbine in the picture by itself, and some details on it or the stock. Looks like a Victoria Secret model hidden in a dark closet

LMTmonoman, First off welcome to this forum. As far as the tiger striped stock goes I don't currently have any good pictures that show how pretty it is, that particular stock came from the CMP on my 6 digit inland. The stock is a SA pot belly, it has an Italian FAT stamp on the left side and the carbine's serial # is stamped between the oiler slot and butt on the right side.

I understand, and thanks very much for the information. Interesting to note, a recent 6 digit Inland I just got has a mint walnut SA stock without any other marking except "91" in the front of the magwell on the underside of the stock. Also interesting is that I've recently seen a couple SA tiger striped stocks, just not nearly as pronounced as what yours appears to be. I had no clue just how nice the potbelly M2 SA stocks were to recently.

LMT,

Welcome to the forum.

Not just on stocks, you might try using the search feature in the tool bar for past threads on items of interest. And the guys here are very helpful as well.

Enjoy, Jim

Thanks for the Welcome Jim, super glad to be a part of this forum now. Also noted in regards to using the search function. I kept coming to forum over the last 6 months while researching carbine information, and it yielded excellent results. Also great to read Bill Ricca's post on this forum.

Read his email again...... I've crossed up his dates, he volunteered @ South store mid 90's to early 2000's.
Was doing his firefighter thing in the 70's - 80's.

Thx TWH,

I had a burglary back in 2007 as well. I only lost two carbines, a Rock-Ola and a Winchester. But also a Colt 1911, from a wall display. Insurance paid off the claim of $4,200 but money doesn't replace something that is hard to find.
I keep mine in three safes now. But they go out for a gun show display once in a while.

Grandma always said locks only keep the honest people honest.
I say you can't break into a safe you can't find.
And there is a Carbine in there too

And I have since put together a rack to make 'em all stand at attention.

I want to put this link in to show the great display that JimF and friend put on last fall in Washington state.
Check it out..... Well worth another look in case you missed it the first time around.
