artu44 Posted January 14, 2013 Share #51 Posted January 14, 2013 I was looking at post n.40 and I see that Victory looks look an oddball. Did someone replace its barrel? The unusual target-like front sight and the missing lug for the ejecting rod a la Colt make me think so. Was it born with 4" barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SKYLINE DRIVE Posted April 28, 2013 Author Share #52 Posted April 28, 2013 My new Standard Products M1 Carbine. I got it from a friends father who was a member of the local Militia and fought with the GI´s in 1944/1945. It is a low serial number, early production and all the parts seem to be original, except for the type 2 sight which must have been fitted by an US Army armourer before the old geezer got it.

James39 Posted May 22, 2013 Share #54 Posted May 22, 2013 Just an amazing collection of guns that you wouldn't normally see around. Thank you for sharing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
187thAirborne Posted May 24, 2013 Share #55 Posted May 24, 2013 I note the 45 pistol # 857694 has a colt slide. However it is Ithaca made in 1943. It is not unusual to find the wrong slide on the wrong pistol. The 45 #8649097 is a Remington 1943. For your info if not already known. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SKYLINE DRIVE Posted May 25, 2013 Author Share #57 Posted May 25, 2013 I note the 45 pistol # 857694 has a colt slide. However it is Ithaca made in 1943. It is not unusual to find the wrong slide on the wrong pistol. The 45 #8649097 is a Remington 1943. For your info if not already known. I knew it when I got them, mixmasters are quite common over here as well. Thank you anyhow! I got the paperwork for another addition yesterday, I hope to able to pick it up next week.

The .45 in post #27 (serno 864097) is an Ithaca serial number, not a Remington Rand number. It is also a beautifully correct pistol. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you have any Reising's I know there not very popular, but a part of WW2 history none the less. No, Reisings are very, very hard to come by on my side of the big pond. I was offered one a year ago but it was in a real bad shape and had the bolt missing and on top of that the price was really hefty, so I decided to let it go! But it sure is on my wish list!

I guess it would be no problem to get your wife across the big pond.....but getting my guns into the US of A might be a problem...the more I do not think my wife would tolerate any concurrence Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
