your 3rd M1 carbine down has a Type 1 barrel band but the later rebuild rear sight. is that you you got it?

ive got a Rock-Ola in standard configuration (post-war rebuild with Type 3 band and adjustable rear sight) and an Inland Division (post-war) but in an Italian repro M1A1 paratrooper stock. pretty sure its with in the right serial number range for the M1A1 production but at this minute, i cant remember if its from the first run or second run

i like yours!

NASP - Naval Air Station Pensacola, home of the Blue Angels.

On the 1911 I shoot it all the time and also cherish it as well, my other 1911 is an Auto Ordnance

The 3rd M1 Carbine came that way from Midway, they got roughly 1,000 from the Italian Police who got them from the US Army at the end of WWII so they didn't get the barrel bands and it does look like the updated safety.

At least if Massachusetts passes their new gun bill it won't be an assault weapon as it can't take a bayonet but the other two could, also the paratrooper version is already illegal in Mass.
