      US service rifle Family Picture

      Good stuff. One of the manufacturers I do not have yet. Wish I could say I had collection like that but I have some stuff I never thought I’d have so I can’t complain too much. Great to see another proud of their old warhorses.

      Good to see everyone get together for the holidays. My grandpa carried an M1 carbine in WW2. Which manufacturer made the one you have?

      FFL transfer on North side

      My uncle really likes Hoosier Armory in Noblesville. I checked it out on his recommendation and they helped me with something on my M1 carbine for nothing. Nice people in there. Pretty cool selection as well if you like different and older types of guns.

      Just Why Are Guns Used In Serious Crimes Ordered Destroyed?

      Johnson County still has seized gun auctions. Not sure if the ones involved in serious crimes are destroyed but they don’t destroy them all. I know if your guns get stolen, good luck getting them back unless the perp is a total idiot. When it happened to me the only ones I got back are the ones...

      Supreme Court to Decide If WWI Cross Must Be Removed

      I will never understand why something must be torn down from a hundreds of years ago because it is not all inclusive. Our country was not all inclusive at the time and this particular monument wasn’t made for everyone, it was made by Christian families for their loved ones. If it was blatantly...

      Q for my fellow surplus nerds

      It is just something other people have received with the Israeli imports. Nothing is definitive with m1 carbines. It may have been something century did or may be a batch from one particular place. Congrats on your Carbine and you can PM me if you have any specific questions about anything...

      Q for my fellow surplus nerds

      I think Century imported those about 20 years ago but I have heard good things about them. Double check the cartouches because they sell the stamps to do that now.They look fine to me, especially with the ding in the middle, but you never know and I always try to verify. It was also arsenal...

      Help I.D. old firearm

      Should be regiment markings on the buttplate from others I’ve have seen. Your 4th picture down says model 71 on it with a letter in front. They are not Japanese markings but German proof and inspector stamps. Not very familiar with these guns so hopefully others can tell you more or correct any...

      Q for my fellow surplus nerds

      https://goo.gl/images/XNC7iQ Make sure the top of the receiver says M1 on a carbine. M2 is a considered a machine gun even if it has no machine gun parts.

      Craigslist scams?

      I bought my current car on offer up but it is full of scammers as well. They are usually easy to spot because the price will be super low and it will be listed in many large cities. Usually if you reply they will say they are in the military overseas and to send a Money order or online. Yeah...

      Q for my fellow surplus nerds

      If you getting one to shoot, get one with a type 3 barrel band. It helps accuracy by keeping the barrel steadier than the other bands. Blue sky import stamps on the side of the barrel can be problematic as well. It’s large and some were stamped so hard they deformed or bent the barrel.
