I just tried that link and it didn't work with Google Chrome browser. I could open the forum site with that link using Firefox, but I couldn't signin because Firefox didn't recognize the signin as...

It worked for me earlier this morning and then when a tried to access the CMP forum a few minutes ago, I got a "too many redirects" no go message. Pretty frustrating.

It worked for a little bit for me this morning, but then when I tried to access the forum page again a few minutes ago I got a "too many redirects" no go message. Seems like the CMP bought a bunch...

Actually that is a pretty good price. Better carbine than a commerciali late Universal carbine.

lyman, Thanks for the back door entry address!

Same thing for me. Kept trying to figure out what "sin" I might have commited to be banned or if someone somehow hacked me and could fake my IP address if that is possible, I'm not an IT guy.

There are day by day records of highest serial number applied to receivers in the case of Winchester Garands and Winchester M1 carbines, but I don't this kind of detailed information has been...

I am guessing it has a IBM dated barrel, probably something close to 10-43? I would look for a IBM flat bolt if you can find one.

Is your 384xxxx IBM an Auto Ordance subcontract receiver? Does it have an "AO" on the bevel of the receiver behind the serial number. If it is an AO IBM receiver, I would probably go with a flat...

That looks like a Winchester proof mark to me. Sure looks like a Winchester barrel to me. Most likely a replacement barrel. If this carbine is a Saginaw S.G. and not a Saginaw S'G' carbine, I...

In all my readings, the only IBM carbines that did not have BE-B or B-EB stamped trigger housings were some in the first few thousand during early productions. Some of those early IBM carbines had...

The pristine Greek rifles were slathered in a pink / red grease, not cosmoline. I not sure if anyone other than the Greeks used that pink grease.

I emailed a friend and he could not register using his old user name even though he tried early and it probably hadn't been taken by someone else. It looks like the old user names from the previous...

Maybe by someone that isn't a firearm fan?

Kind of a bummer for anyone with purchases or sales in progress. Now we will have to start with new user name (probably) and will start with zero posts so no way to tell long time users from newbies...

It looks repairable to me. Biggest issue might be if oil or grease has seeped into the crack. That could hinder the epoxy glue from bonding the wood. You might need to clean out the crack area...

I spend time on lots of different firearm forums, the CMP forum is among them. This morning I got an error message when trying open that forum, then later this afternoon it was up and running. ...

TimF, was that the Chevrolet V8 Monza? I think that has a small block V8 as an option for a while.

I was an auto mechanic during the 70's. I remember working on this one...

Maybe it was the way the picture was taken, but the bolt looks like parkerized finish rather than expected DuLite finish. I also think the barrel may have had a type 3 band on it at one time. Need...

New Orleans is also an area that has been hit hard. A lot of that can be explained by a high prevalence of underlying health conditions. Italians are not the predominant ethic population in that...

It is not the job of the CDC to provide all the diagnostic test kits for our medical services in this country. There was a problem with the first prototype of the COVID 19 test components from the...

Looks like all the gun shows are cancelled in NC for now. The Governor banned all public gatherings over 100 people. The Hickory show ran on Saturday, but it was closed for today (Sunday). Should...

The notch on the back side of the trigger may mean it is either an S'G' trigger or maybe even an IP trigger. It is probably worth looking at. I take it you aren't as interested in the value of...

I have a low wood Inland stock with a circle P proof on the bottom of the pistol grip. The "P" is a serif instead of the normal non-serif P that I have seen on early Inland stocks. Is this a rebuild...

For a 1.757 million Rock-Ola, I would expect a oval cut highwood RMC stock.
