I could barely make out the manufacturer’s mark in the sling well. I would imagine that these were some sort of unit markings or inventory numbers. There are three numbers stamped on one side and the letter “C” stamped on the other. It is an oval cut, low wood stock, (not a pot-belly) and has no discernible ordnance markings. In addition to the three post-war replacement parts, the stock and a few of the other component parts are from manufacturers other than Inland. It is a type III which is the correct style, but all WWII manufacture type III recoil plates bore manufacturer marks. I didn’t take a close up of it because it is unmarked. The final post-war replacement piece is the recoil plate. It should be marked either EI or HI if it were an original WWII Inland piece. The type IV safety is also a post war replacement. Co which could indicate WWII manufacture, but it also stamped with the part number 7160060 which is a clear indication that this was a post war replacement. The Rear Sight is a type III which is correct for the period of manufacture. It only has three obvious post-war replacement parts: My rifle really isn’t bad for a “mix master” that spent a number of years in a foreign military. It was very helpful in identifying all the component parts of my rifle. It even includes a handy-dandy fill-in table for documenting all of your component parts to help you compare what you have with what parts are correct for the manufacturer and production dates for your specific rifle. M1 Carbines Wartime Production should be considered a must have for anyone interested in the production history of the M1 Carbine.
In M1 Carbine Part 5, we removed the components from the stock and receiver that were necessary to remove for inspection and discussed those items not removed.įirst I would like to recommend my resource for all the manufacturer information. In M1 Carbine Part 4, we disassmbled the bolt without using the M1 Carbine Bolt Tool (don’t try this at home kiddies). In M1 Carbine Part 3, we disassembled the Trigger Housing Assembly into its individual components. In M1 Carbine Part 2, we disassembled the M1 Carbine into its major groups. In M1 Carbine Part 1, we took a look at the external condition of the new old CMP M1 Carbine. I know that this has been a long time coming and we’ve still got a long way to go we’ve still got to reassemble everything, take her to the range and see how she shoots and I finally got the bolt tool and piston nut wrench from the CMP e-store so we need to discuss using those tools (as well as another cool toy I got from them).
