Post Reply - Italian M1 Carbine info and Requests

I happened to notice a couple of carbines up for sale on Gunbroker a few weeks ago: auction #s 917483620 and 917484306. Seller's description stated they are PW Arms Italian returns that he bought from a dealer who hand selected ~200 like this but there is no picture of the import mark. I did message him and he confirmed the import mark was PW Arms. His story has some bad information too but what I found interesting was the rifles were fully packed in cosmoline. It doesn't look recent, but I suppose if someone had a lot of cosmoline and time.. :) Anyway, I thought it may be of interest to the club if some of these were returned in this condition. I hadn't seen any from this batch reported packed in cosmoline.
