Connor Bills Posted June 1, 2021 Share #1 Posted June 1, 2021 Just picked this up. I’ve stripped her down and to my knowledge everything is correct for S.G. I believe it to be possibly as issued Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bodes Posted June 2, 2021 Share #4 Posted June 2, 2021 I agree, it appears to be a straight as issued carbine...Does it have a high wood stock?....Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe it’s a March of 44 production. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EmperorWangDong Posted June 2, 2021 Share #6 Posted June 2, 2021 Looks like a nice one. Mag catch looks like it has been replaced with a Type III at some point, I think it should have a IIA, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EmperorWangDong Posted June 2, 2021 Share #8 Posted June 2, 2021 It could be correct depending on serial block, I don't have my books handy at the moment - just going from memory. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wasn't sure what the cutoff time was for the high wood, just curious if the stock too had this early feature....Nice rifle...Congrats, Bodes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But a couple other 44 productions in my collection are low woods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ccyooper Posted June 3, 2021 Share #15 Posted June 3, 2021 Nice carbine. I thought my safety may have been replaced as it is a light color while the other parts have darker varying shades but it looks just like yours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect to see variations of color. IMO, wear patterns can be more important as long as the finish is period Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
everforward Posted June 3, 2021 Share #17 Posted June 3, 2021 Very nice I’d say....congrats on the find...! Probably as-issued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SubgunFun Posted June 3, 2021 Share #18 Posted June 3, 2021 Wow... nice find! Judging from the photos it must not have cost you an arm and a leg... maybe just an arm as we can't see the right one. Then again, it's likely holding the camera. ;-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sundance Posted June 4, 2021 Share #20 Posted June 4, 2021 A beautiful carbine in any case. With current ammo prices, it's getting more and more pricey to shoot (if it's a shooter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
