    Crosman M1 Carbine

    I remember Milsurps fellow member BobK having a very nice collection of these with most having the wood stocks.

    Anyone ever remember seeing one with a Oak (possibly Ash) stock?
    Take a look it sure looks like Oak or....... maybe Ash to me.
    I've never seen one stocked like this......
    I've been watching it when it was being offered for a open bid of $199.00.
    Almost bit but had some pricey truck repairs lately.
    Then after ending with no bites I see the new open bid has gone up to $209.99 Plus an extra $10 shipping to now total $30.
    Maybe increasing in value @ $10.00 a week .....



    Vintage 1960s Crosman M1 Carbine BB Gun With Wood Stock - Air Rifles at GunBroker.com : 872358100

    A search came up with a stock that looks to also be Oak on the NRA Museum page. It also talks about during WWII the (OSS) Office of Strategic Services purchased 2,000 compressed air guns for unspecified purposes, quite possibly for covert use by O.S.S. agents.

    A link to NRA story and picture below:

    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.

    That's an interesting collectable Charlie ... I want one!

    When I was a kid in the mid 1970's, I remember seeing a toy Lee Enfield, oh boy did I want one, destined never to happen unfortunately .... I kicked off and got several hard slaps on the back of the legs for my troubles from mother... Quite rightly too! Remover how much that used to hurt.....

    I would probably buy one now if I ever found one.....

    I used to have two of them. Sold them both for £35 each when we had a clear out.

    A bit like the old black plastic Airfix SLR which fired grey plastic bullets. Toys of our youth eh

    I really wanted one of these. Never hit the top priority list, though. By that time girls and cars became important.

    I had one of those Roy, igniting an interest in the L1A1 that never went away .... Lost the magazine and the exposed barrel fell off!

    Luckily, I look after my 'real' inch patterns somewhat better!

    I seem to recall a Thompson too...

    I found this picture on one of my older computers this morning. I had downloaded it from "somewhere" about 3 years ago. Looks like a couple of really nice ones! - Bob

    Hey GI Bob,
    If you or anyone else is interested I also posted over on The Carbine Collectors Club and got some really interesting information added by Dan New2Brass and The Sleeplessone Jim M.

    Brings back memories-this was my first carbine as a kid! As I remember, it had a wood stock.

    It is long gone, but I picked one up at a Gun show 2 years ago.

    Was that a fixed priority or did the girls and cars switch places from time to time?

    Speaking of M1icon Carbine BB Guns, has anyone had any experience with the Springfield armory CO BB M1 Carbine?
