Bumping this thread and breaking a rule (apologies)

This is a M1 Carbine I’ll inherit from my step-grandfather, he owns it legally and I intend to own it legally as well and write up all the BS papers to the police station/Gendarmerie when something happens to him. The latter the better...





@TheKiwi @BravoZulu @riderboy

What producer is this M1 Jake84?

I take it you are on my side of the big pond!?! It would be quite easy and not too expensive to get original wooden stock for the carbine, I might even haver one I could let you have for free, you just would have to sand of a layer of varnish, oil it and you are good to go!

It always makes me weep when see "modernised" WWII small arms.....

Another M1 Garand that's found in the attic of an old farmhouse, I only cleaned off the grit. The hand guard is damaged but I will leave it on, somehow it's part of the gun's story....

Awesome pictures @Skyline Drive

Unfortunately I have very, very little infos on the background of the M1 I posted before. As I said it belongs to my step grandfather for now and he's very much deaf, hence having a convo with him is nearly impossible. Yes I'm in Europe as well, by the way.

Next time you have the gun at hand just check the producer markings on the receiver. Are you in northern or eastern France, if I may ask?

Northern France. Stepgranddad lives near Compiègne, I'll make sure to check it out more closely and report back here during my next visit to him.

yeah i do too, wood looks amazing. action unfotunately is quite loose, but i might get it looked at to see what it would take to get it back ready to fire some black powder blanks at least.

You have quite a good supplier of "free" military small arms parts, just across the border in Belgium. In a small village called Rouveroy, near Mons.

You can always have it checked. If it's all original parts I would not change any of them though. But that's just my opinion...doesn't mean anything...I just love to leave the old gals the way they are.

One of my BARs. They are very hard to come by, nearly impossible to find. I never made a real count, but yo fond at east hundred Garands before you come across a BAR. There are also, even not taking into account the "Warsaw Pact buybacks", many more Thompsons around. IMHO this reflects how important the BAR was for the US infantry squad. I am sure that, when the BAR gunner went down his weapon was not left behind but was picked up straight away by another GI. For me that's the only viable explanation. This one was made by teh New England Small Arms Corporation during WWII.
