Marshal Dan Troop 70448 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 Early Christmas gift from BlueJeans to me, is an early, original M1 Carbine, un-modified. With original I stock, push button safety,flat bolt, numbers match the stock, flip rear sight, no bayonet lug. Barrel pristine. She has it wrapped, can't wait to open it. The tension is murderous waiting for Christmas. These are rare. She said I will probable have to get a safe for just the carbines. Now if only I can get a M3 complete with battery, I'll have a complete collection of M1 carbines and its variations as issued. MT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grizzly Dave Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 You suck! Congrats! Closest I'll probably get to a firearm for Christmas is a marshmellow shooter, if even that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Four-Eyed Buck,SASS #14795 Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I'm with you, Griz, none for me. But, I'm getting a 17A Conn cornet circa '61 or '62. Three tone, brass, nickle, and copper. Been lusting after one since my SIL got hers back in the spring. For a student grade( back then) horn, the tone is outragious. now all I gotta do is get a D. Wick mouthpiece and I'm set. Bad part is SWMBO doesn't know it yet...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocWard Posted December 20, 2011 Share Posted December 20, 2011 I hope to get something shooting related for Christmas, but I will be happy if I can avoid needing to sell off any more of my guns this coming year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not original but it will be fun! 30 Carbine pistol!! I have an Iver Johnson Enforcer that I'm waiting for the paperwork on so I can make it into an SBR (Short Barreled Rifle). I have a paratrooper folding stock for it that's already for it to drop into. Makes the slickest little mini-carbine ever! Soon as I can legally assemble it I'll have pictures of it.
