M1 Carbines

[imgone]

Okay, I purchased one of the RTI carbines. I usually stay away from import marked firearms, just my preference. But I said what the hell. So I paid for one of the excellent ones. I got a 1944 Winchester, the Winchester barrel gages 1 on the CMP gage. The stock is an IBM LW-B ( Lumb Woodworking C0 Poughkeepsie NY ). It has a round bolt, I.R. Co rear sight, T-4 front band. I can't read the date on the sling, the oiler is IS. Came with a wrapped mag packaged in 1956. It will stay in the wrapper as I have plenty of mags. I will pull her apart for a lube and clean this weekend. Over all I'm happy with her. My other carbines where all purchased thru the CMP at a much cheaper price. But these popped up and I had an itch to get one.

@imgone I think the date on your sling is 1953

rip some patches through that bore and chootIt

I think these had to be imported a good while back. I think its just taken RTI a while to bring them to market. I dont think that import mark would pass muster today.

My guess is anything ww2 issue correct was gobbled up at the start and some of those will probably show up cleaned up on gunraper for 2k+.

Did anyone get an original wood stock unsanded with a decent cartouche?

Looked like 1956 for me....but is that too late for the Ethiopian contract?

As far as I know these where given to them to use in the Korean War. But they kept them so maybe we continued to support them with parts. I don't know I'm just guessing.

I guess they where shipping them Carbines up until the early 70's.

Just sold my German mod. VZ24 on GunBoards....may be able to sneak one of the last ones....

Spent 6 hours today going thru both rifles giving them a good cleaning. Some before and after pics of triggers.

Submitted an internet order for a very good to excellent condition carbine an hour ago. Got an email confirmation; trying to get through the phone for verbal confirmation. On the comment section I asked for NOT Winchester, or NOT Inland if possible; NPM, QH, or IBM if possible, and M1 stock if possible.

Web site says 16 left...if that was true in the first place.

I got off the phone with them just now. They have IBM, and they have Rock Ola but they don't know how many Rock Ola left till they fill orders. Never had any Irwin Pederson.

 

[majspud]

Managed to leave a message. Will keep trying until I get a person.

[majspud]

Took about three hours to get a person....they must really be busy. They have my order, FFL, and request. Hand select is out of the question; National Postal Meter +$500, Quality Hardware and IBM +$300. They would leave my request in the comment section...assume it will be an Inland...I can live with that.

No specific information on the order...supposedly shipping...

The buyer backed out on my VZ24
But I sold the 1912 Colt out of the blue

Good luck.

Have over 100 Lake City M1 Carbine brass. Anybody reload?

Usually leave them at BRP but they’re closed until 5/18

 

[Nick Leduc]

Sort of off topic, but I recieved my AK part kit yesterday that I ordered with the carbines in a different shipment. It came in in better condition than expected.

So you're six days ahead of me....any notification yet? What did you order?

Mine took 10 days from order to the LGS in NH. I never got any e-mail about shipping. LGS called me.

Dude! I'm getting a National Postal Meter!Not sure how a $500 hand select option became free with a note in the comments section....but I'm not complaining....

Shipping Label Created today at 2:59

SN 4,335,602
Translates to late 4th (of 5) block NPM; 4,080,000-4425099 or ~November 1943

On a serious note, I'm wondering if my hands are strong enough to do a detail strip on the bolt and action...

t

Hmmm...my bolt tool is MIA...can I borrow someone's?
I think I tossed it; last time I used it, the forked plunger holder had split in half.

It hurts to watch them stock them like that. Here I am worried about what I lean mine against.
And sure does look like more that 100.
Create a fake demand to drive sales. Whatever. Im happy with my purchase.

Patron; check your order now....probably has the info now. Unless you want to be surprised.

How did you check your order ?

 

[majspud]

I had first set up an account and signed up to receive emails a month before I ordered.
Once you've signed in, click "order status," then "view order" off the main page.
