Yep, and no doubt the Carbine was sold through DCM/NRA with only standard M1 trigger housing. Makes no sense but, ATF goes strictly by what the receiver says.
I’ve seen several late Inland...

The vast majority of Carbines in the 7 million range are M1 marked.
Your posted number of 7237xxx is the first day or two of Winchesters 7 million block, which started on June 5th, 1945. The first...

As Art mentions, without nice photographs of the entire Carbine, inside and out, one cannot place originality on anything other than the serial numbered receiver.

The barrel date is correct for IP serial numbered receiver.
The stock marking RIA is a rebuild from Rock Island Arsenal, as well as the front sight. Handguard is for a later S.G. or S'G'.

The Carbine Collectors Club website lists several data sheets close to (before & after) your serial number with barrel dates of 11-44 and probably completed for shipment in Dec. '44.

I agree with Mike in NC. The only other use of subcontracted trigger housings, according to Larry Ruth's "War Baby I", were some from Quality Hardware marked Q-TX.

Depending on the serial number, the components are correct for a 2-44 rifle. The stock should have a crossed cannon cartouche on the right side butt, an SJ or S-HB inside the sling recess on the...

Hello WHG,

The first thing you'll need to know is almost all production records for Japanese Weapons were lost/destroyed at the end of the war.
The dating of early 6.5 weapons is somewhat...

?????
Thought that's what I said in post #6. I give up.

All due respect. "Nothing wrong with the carbine shown", is impossible to prove with the limited detail shown.
The only information that can be ascertained from the three very small images posted,...

Harold,

I do not see a problem with the font, style or placement of UN-QUALITY in the example shown. Do you have a closer photo? And also a photo of front receiver ring?
What barrel is on it? ...

Sure would! PM sent.

I agree on the type III band barrel marks and parked bolt.

Just seeing this tread.
My scope is roll stamped both M73B1 and serial number, with the serial number, 19094 being electro penciled.

Yep. And along with the scratches on the muzzle where front sight was removed for some reason!!

$2 a rd., and $5 for the brass stripper clip.

The standard plastic muzzle covers are seen in 3-4 shades of olive to mustard brown in color. Typical price for these will run between $65-85. Brass in the same configuration will bring $100-125. ...

Hello harrisd27,

Indeed you have a 5th series. Your interior nose cap piece (with the cleaning rod hole through it) looks to have been install backwards. The arms that are protruding toward the...

Sounds like you have a "to teach" or "for education" marked receiver Jinsen T-38 rifle. Is the dust cover also with the rifle? If so, the Kanji on the dust cover reads "Loading of live ammunition...

Thanks to the two gentlemen for your responses.
I know the owner is going to sell the pistol, so I will pass on to him the info that I assume the higher serial number does not add or detract from...

I was able to look at this pistol today and have included 9 photos to look at. Condition speaks for itself. Bore is a sewer pipe. Grip panels are heart shaped under grips. All the parts appear to be...

An older acquaintance of mine contacted me today about looking at his Colt 1911 in the 610000 serial number range. His wife's grandfather was an officer during/after WWI and acquired this pistol...

Looks like a 6th to me.
