New to site - Great site
Picked up a Universal M-1 Carbine serial # 62xxx for range shooting, Its been 47 years since qualifying in military with a m-1 and it really brought back some memories.
After reading about the universal carbine and being more educated about the USGI parts used in the 1st generation model, I'm hopefully these part markings can be identified by persons with knowlege about these firearms.
bolt - .u.
Barrel only marking - DS
Slide - PI (underlined) also a large D or U --Gas cylinder welded to barrel
Rear sight - H in shield
Mag catch = HI
Recoil Plate - DI
Receiver - (38) where scope plate attaches
Stock - 8210
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
