Just picked up an M1 Carbine

[11-B]

I got this M1 in trade (gave the guy a mosin 91/30 hahahahahahaaa SUCKER I cannot believe he reblued the barrel and nickel plated the receiver also refinished the stock but it is a Inland Div M1 made sometime between June-Aug of 1945


What I Traded



What I got

 

[BogWalker]

Honestly, I think the nickel receiver looks pretty sharp. With the plated stock band it almost looks like some sort of parade/presentation rifle. The stock refinishing? Not so much.

 

[gunman41mag]

nice score

 

[sloughfoot]

Don't gloat too soon. At least publicly. I don't think he plated the receiver or refinished the stock. I saw your rifle in American rifleman as a non-firing replica some years ago. They were made to commemorate something. I don't remember what.

You know, one of those full page ads? Like the Iwo Jima Colt 45's? The John Wayne Model 94? For display only....No need for an FFL.

It sure does look like one of those display rifles.

If it is one of those, you really got screwed if you didn't even get the presentation case.

Does it have a firing pin? Does the hole in the barrel go all the way through? Does it have a serial number? Are there locking lugs in the receiver?

If it shoots, you got a good deal. Still not cool to gloat openly though. The ying/yang thing you know...

I have owned a few M1 carbines. They are OK if you like the caliber. Mine were Mil-spec rebuilt out of the armory. Ran OK just not pretty.

Well to answer you questions yes it has a SN# (i checked it) and the "hole" goes from one end to the other..firing pin check.....This is not my first rodeo

THAT would be awesome!

 

[DragonGunner]

Tie it to a tree, lock n load a round, tie a string to the trigger and get back an pull......then you will see if you got a deal.....lol.

I've got a 1942 Inland.....what is stamped on the barrel in front of the sight...should be like a flaming bomb and a date and maker.

 

[gunman41mag]

You got an excellent deal, mosin are a dime a dozen

 

[BuddieReigns]

I assume it's the same guy because the mosin in the pic looks identical, but he has it up for trade in a facebook group I'm in already with a trade value of $350 from what I can gather.

You did good, but I believe I would have kept that Carbine, and just bought the Shotgun outright......

Same here. Ugly or not it was still a carbine, and what's not to love about a genuine M1 carbine?

 

[11-B]

Dont get me wrong I very much liked having such cool history in a gun like that, however I have no free cash to buy any type of firearm out right, and as I started out with a Mosin 91/30 and was just looking to see what I could get I prefer a firearm that I can use vs. one that is very expensive to shoot like the .30 Carbine cartridge.

 

[gunman41mag]

You got rid of a rifle that was a dime a dozen for the cool M-1 CARBINE, then you traded again for a mossberg pump

Way up...Then way down!

 

[Expat]

WOW, then wow....
The INGO never fails to entertain...

 

[BogWalker]

I guess the adage of "as long as you like what you got, it was a fair trade" applies.

 

[11-B]

yes because that is what I wanted

 

[Patriot3]

That is a beautiful looking m1 and you definitely came out on top of that deal. Get them when you can as far as I'm concerned. But again a beautiful gun and congrats
