Added another m1a1 and another post war arsenal overhaul. Two m1a1's are 44 and 45 Inlands, remainder are Inland 44, Underwood 42, and Quality Hardware. Boy I'd like to add an M2 to my pile.

sundance, don't feel bad, all M1 carbines were banned in NJ in 1990. No grandfathering. Register, surrender, or dispose of out of state prior to June 1, 1991. Registered carbines can not be sold, or disposed of in state.

Very nice collection of Carbines iron_bender! I really like your high wood M1A1, if you have any close up photos of the cartouches on that one, I would sure like to see them.

Sundance, yes you can buy a Ruger Mini 14 or 10/22, but NO folding / adjustable stocks on any semi-auto rifles.

 

Seems like New Jersey is really putting the kibosh on the real criminals in their state. Can't have Folding Stock M1A1's, someone might make the stock fold back down. :rolleyes:

These, I believe, are the only stamps on the highwood stock. This is a very late manufactured rifle and I'm sure through book source Inland used early stocks late. I'm not convinced a single carbine I own left a factory in their current configuration. They look right, feel right, excellent fit, but I question ALL carbines in WW2 configuration. I'm positive both of these Inland m1a1 stocks and handguards are 100% original pre 46 manufacture. One of these days I'd like a convincing WW2 type carbine with 1942-1944 features. (Original parts of course)

Very sharp cartouches, thank you very much for showing this!

 

A true bring back Carbine is very high on my list as well, there are so many who have been fiddled with.

 

So far I have two Inland Highwoods and an Underwood with the original stock. I traded a decent M1 Inland that went through Ogden Arsenal for a 1938 98k Mauser that was all matching.

The National postal meter carbines were made in my neck of the woods - Rochester, NY. There was a local baby furniture maker, Trimble (sp?), that made some of their stocks. TexRdnec - was it difficult finding the IP?

I've been past the Saginaw Steering Gear plant many times on my way "up north" in Michigan.

Very cool...they've made a bunch of stuff haven't they?
