This is the short version of an interesting and longish story. I now have a Leather M1 Carbine scabbard to go with the rifles of ?great carbine giveaway? of CMP many years ago!. It has been modified by a PO by adding 11.5? likely to fit a .30-30 or a .22 rifle. Good news is all the straps, clips and tip piece are there. It all appears in remarkably good shape ? I will have the extension removed and the tip replaced to its rightful place sometime this next summer when funds catch back up. You just never know what will show up hanging from the rafters in a random shop!

Thoughts?
