    M1 Carbine Picture Thread

    Why should the Garand folks have all the fun?!?! I think we need our own Carbine Picture Thread!!!

    I'll start.

    Quality Products Rack Grade (picked up from the South Store in Dec '09)
    Configured exactly (ok, close enough) like the Carbine my Granddad carried during the war.



    The little kid in front of my Granddad has his Carbine.




    Let's see your Carbines, gentlemen!

        Left to right in the order received:
        Standard Products w/Underwood barrel, really nice WRA stock, maybe DCM gun, nice parkerized finish, private purchase (saw this being picked up when I dropped my first carbine, also a SP, at gunsmith, now it is mine and sold the other).
        IBM w/IBM barrel, mixmaster came in a M2 Potbelly, now wearing a JL-B stock, rack grade via CMP, dark finish maybe Greek? MW of 4 but surprisingly good shooter.
        Underwood w/Underwood barrel, many Underwood parts, came with above mentioned JL-B stock, now in MU stock, Inland trigger housing stamped LGK 00, service grade via CMP is my main shooter and the only one with a round bolt. I recently put together an Underwood trigger group with all Underwood parts correct to manufacture date. I kept the previous Inland trigger housing & post-war guts so I can slap it back in if so desired.
        Rock-ola w/Rock barrel, service grade via CMP, late war replacement WRA stock, heavily "Austrianized" mixmaster w/LGKI stamp and plum trigger housing. Leaving as received.
        Inland w/Inland barrel, Bavarian Rural Police w/flip, German highwood stock, mixmaster with LGK 00 stamped Underwood trigger housing, Type A band, CMP service grade. Leaving as received. Asked for anything other than an Inland, so naturally CMP sent me an Inland.
        Standard Products w/Underwood barrel, completely correct except for a four rivet replacement handguard (now replaced with correct one), stock is S-HB, flip & Type A band, private purchase pretty sure a "duffel-bag" gun. The carbine I'm most proud of.

        A SG Winchester will soon join the platoon.

          That is a sweet .30 cal MG. Is it semi or full auto? I have had a serious hanker for one of those and if I ever win the lottery, look out.

            Here's my cache - all SG except for the fake M1A1 - stock was cracked in two places so I got a repo folder for it, but, rest of the rifle was SG+ (SS grab). Sent in order for SG S'G', but, sounds like I missed the cut.



            L-R: Inland, Winchester, Underwood, Standard Prod., Saginaw, IBM, Underwood, NPM, Quality H.M.C., Inland, Rock-Ola, Inland Bav Rural, Qual. H.M.C. Bav Rural.

              Some nice looking carbines here. Be careful if you are storing your carbines, or any rifle, with a canvas muzzle cover on them. The canvas can attract moisture and may cause rust to form on the barrel. Just be sure to oil and check on occasion.

                  I do, but thanks for the reminder.

                        I'm jealous! You guys got a let someone else have a chance!

                        Seriously, just finished my coursework for hunters ed, filled out paperwork and had it notarized, mailed the day I finished the course . . .only to find out my order for my first Carbine will likely not be filled. Then to see the abundance of Carbines here . . . ugh. Painful.

                            Most of them from October 2009:



                            Manufacturer/Source - Grade/ Serial No. Range
                            Inland - CMP SG - 123K
                            Inland - CMP BR - 402K
                            Winchester - DCM/NRA - 1.15MM
                            Rock-ola - CMP SG - 1.71MM
                            Underwood - CMP SG - 1.38MM
                            Standard Products - CMP RG - 2.03MM
                            IBM Corp - CMP SG - 3.68MM
                            Saginaw S’G’ CMP RG - 3.58MM
                            National Postal Meter - CMP RG - 4.14MM
                            Quality Hardware – CMP SG - 4.83MM


                            The QHMC SG is back is in a M1 Stock.

                            Bavaria Forest Police RG (Inland 2.91 MM)



                            Saginaw SG 3.46 MM Barreled Receiver and M1A1 Stock that I built up last Christmas.



                            One of the last Inland RGs received in February 2010 (6.89 MM) - mostly correct for a 1945 mfg except the flat Rock-ola bolt.


                            Not in any picture is a really nice (More SG) 4.74 MM QHMC RG that sits up at my farm in VT to avoid carrying my M1 Carbines through NJ.
