The accumulation includes: 3 Underwood, 3 Winchester, 2 Inland, 2 IBM, 2 NPM, 2 Rock-ola, 2 Quality hardware, 1 SG, 1 S'G', and 1 Stnd Products. I know, missing 4 from the picture. They are all "mix-masters" with mostly late features - going to get around to swapping some parts between them and see exactly what I do have!!
I really enjoy shooting these ... Best of all, they are a pleasure to take to the range and let kids and women shoot them. I have this passion of introducting women and kids to the shooting sports. These, along with some .22LRs, fit the bill nicely!
Not an I-cut stock, though. [sad2] It's a Trimble stock and, I think, not original to the rifle.
Your carbine collection is impressive, I must say.

I bought two Inlands from him in the last couple of years.....a good guy to deal with, I thought....
What's the difference between Saginaw S'G' versus Saginaw SG?
Poor me has only one, a 1942 Inland
OTOH, I've just added 4 more Mausers and a P.38 yesterday![[smile]](/xen/styles/default/xenforo/smilies.vb/001.gif "Smile [smile]")
Dude, I'll never be able to keep up with you on K98k's. Dare I ask, codes and dates?

SG (General Motors) had a contract to produce Carbines at their Saginaw MI Plant. Inwin Pedersen Arms also had a contract and produced 3,542 Carbines; however, none passed government inspection and were not accepted. General Motors took over the production and contract from Inwin Pedersen Arms, along with all their manufacturing capabilities located in Grand Rapids MI. In order to distinguish the General Motors Saginaw produced carbines from the Grand Rapids produced carbines, the Grand Rapids produced carbines were stamped S'G'.

Awesome collection. I would love to find a nice WWII setup. Everything out there is in the korean war config with the bayo lug and the modified sights.

There was only 1 K98k out of the 4, a Portuguese 1941 (my 3rd).
The others were an Oberndorf Brazilian long rifle and a Chilean carbine, both
1935 models in 7mm Mauser. No. 4 is a Swedish 96/38, originally a Carl Gustafs of 1914.
Pristine K98k's don't grow on trees here, so there are some large gaps in my collection.
My father brought one home from WW2. I barely remember seeing it when I was a kid--I think it had a folding stock (does that sound right?). It had a 3 way switch, so he threw the firing pin away (fed offense). He gave it to my brother (cop) about 20 years ago, who sent it to the FBI Academy to have it checked and a new firing pin put in. My brother got his machine gun license, and used it once at the range. The gun currently resides at the Mashpee Police Station. I would love to check that bad boy out now. What a piece of history (he brought it from Okinawa). *sigh*
Nice - and that Garand looks good, too!!!!!!
Have a May 1943 Saginaw been imported from Israel and in great condition. Had it for years and recently just installed the Wolff spring kit and if it weren’t so hard to get ammunition for it I’d be shooting it more. Had a Rock Ola many years ago and regret selling it.
