Is it STD.PRO. or STD.PRO.CO.?

Has anyone else seen or own one of these?

That is fantastic! That gun should be featured in 'Carbines of Note'. What other surprises are inside. Thanks for sharing.

Hi everyone,
            I'm new to this forum but after reading this post I had to reply. I have an m1 carbine that was given to me about 12 or 13 years ago,the bolt was out and the person did not know how to put it back together and asked if I wanted it. (He inherited it from his father and knew nothing about it.) I stopped at my father's house on the way home from work and he had it together in about 2 minutes.we took it out back and test fired it. (I got 2 boxes of ammo,2 clips,and the pouch that goes around the stock also)anyway I put it away and forgot about it.today my son stopped by to show me one he just bought and asked to look at mine.after looking at them for a while we decided to look up some info on them.turns out mine is marked std.pro.co.just like the one this post is about.the serial # is 2008××× I take it from this post they are rare when marked like this? What do you think it would do to the value? It has a rock Ola barrel if that means anything. Sorry for this being so long, any information on this would be great. Ps.this is a great website.

Thanks,Lee

Thanks for the reply marty,
the barrel does have a bayonet lug.as for pictures i'll ask my son to take some when he comes up,hopefully tonight.as previously posted I know nothing about tearing one of these apart.the gun was given to me from a person at work and after my father put it together it was put away.unfortunately my dad passed away so I can't ask him for help any more.

Sorry about being away so long.. medical problems..
Now.. about the Standard Products CO ... The carbine will be at the Birmingham gun show and I will be happy to show it to those interested.

What would you like to know about this particular carbine?? I sent Marty a bunch of photographs etc a while back, but I can take more for those interested.

and NO it is not for sale....

BTW... I am looking for a better stock for this carbine..
The existing stock is correct,
but it was cut to low wood sometime in its life.

If someone has a Standard Products type 1 stock with the high wood intact... I am interested ..

I will photograph the carbine this weekend.. I have a better camera now so the pics will be able to be expanded for detail..
Will you be going to the Birmingham gun show? I have had a lot of requests to bring the CO, so I will have it there.

Just my $.02 on this, but I think the reason the marking was changed is that it would have easily resulted in mis-strikes by the roll die. The full length of the marking had to be extremely precise to fit on the receiver, based on the example provided. It even seems to exceed the space necessary for the full die impression on the example, where the "S" overlaps the line on the left side of the receiver.

I'll note that so far we have only 1 confirmed (with photo evidence) example of one of these variations. I've checked pics of mine last year for this and it has a little earlier serial number than crittergitter's, but it wasn't marked in that manner. Not that an earlier number disproves his, but just as record of serials, it was not marked CO. The original trigger group has a dogleg hammer.

This weekend myself and New2Brass inspected another earlier serial number than Critters from above, and it is also just stamped STD. PRO., with an Underwood 6-43 barrel.  Serial was 2002728.  It had been rebuilt, but still retained it's square S rear sight and SN front sight.  Was not dis-assembled.

Post Reply - Is it STD.PRO. or STD.PRO.CO.?

There has been a question posted referring to the Standard Products Carbine marked with the "CO"
We have the carbine, what is your question?
