We are currently negotiating with several auction houses for the auction of the remaining carbines. We will let you know which auction house they will go to when a decision is made.
Thank you, everyone, for your help and purchases. Thanks from Dan, Marty, and Jacque Ruth too. Jim Edited by sleeplessnashadow - Mar 23 2024 at 8:02pm |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ iai Carbines iai's carbines were assembled by former Club member Larry Horner who operated as Liberty Armory. When iai went out of business Horner was compensated with receivers and parts for money he was owed. Some of which he assembled into carbines using both iai parts and surplus GI parts. iai initially produced carbines in .30 cal carbine only. Their ".22 Carbine" was added later in production. It fires a 5.7mm catridge. We don't know if Horner test fired these carbines. I suspect he would of but cannot confirm it. Horner was a very competent and experienced gunsmith. All includes a sling, oiler, and magazine. IAI/iai's History - Liberty Armory History - Johnson Arms 5.7mm Johnson History #151 iai Commemorative M1 Carbine / Liberty Armory, caliber .22 carbine (5.7mm) s/n R207690 iai's "commemorative" was simply an emblem in the stock, nothing special about the carbines. Various GI parts. Shallow slide stop notch as above. This particular carbine is the carbine shown in War Baby! volume III, page 1512, figure 1747 plus others. #152 iai M1 Carbine, caliber .22 carbine (5.7mm) s/n R211599 Various GI parts. Shallow slide stop notch as above. Recent addition from family, limited photos. Edited by sleeplessnashadow - Mar 23 2024 at 8:03pm |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #208 Iver Johnson Super Enforcer Handgun, caliber .30 carbine s/n BA05022 To my surprise the Enforcers have generally not been selling for what they have in the past. The one exception being those manufactured by Iver Johnson 1978-1982 at the Plainfield Machine facility in Middlesex, NJ. Before the move to Arkansas. This is one of them and one of the reasons for our asking price. This one is an all original in excellent condition. It includes a magazine. No original box. Iver Johnson's History ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #127 Iver Johnson Model M1, caliber .30 carbine s/n AA15806 Manufactured while Iver Johnson was in NJ. Plainfield paratrooper stock adopted by Iver Johnson. A few GI parts. Includes sling and magazine. Recent addition from family, limited photos. Iver Johnson's History ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #087 Iver Johnson WWII Commemorative M1 Carbine, caliber .30 carbine WW0340 - American Historical Society Manufactured by Iver Johnson in New Jersey about 1980/81 these were the American Historical Foundation's first commemorative carbines. In this case for WWII. This one includes it's original solid walnut display case. The window was made of plastic and tends to develop small scratches as this one has. With display case, in 1982 these sold for $870. This carbine is in nice condition. Larry never even disassembled it. It's a bit dusty and could use some oil to preserve it's finish. Larry kept it on display. Iver Johnson's History Edited by sleeplessnashadow - Mar 23 2024 at 8:03pm |

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #144 NATO M1 Carbine, caliber .30 carbine No one has been able to determine who NATO in GA was, Larry Ruth included. However, the serial number on this receiver indicates it was manufactured by Iver Johnson in Middlesex, NJ about 1981/1982. We believe NATO was considering the purchase of Iver Johnson but it fell thru. The company was sold to a group of investors in AR instead. No other NATO carbine has been found. This carbine has a GI SA barrel dated 11-1950 and was built using all surplus GI parts. Probably by Larry Horner at Liberty Armory in TX. Note: This bolt closes on a no-go gauge. NATO carbine information ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ #153 Plainfield M5 Carbine, caliber .22 PPMC (5.7mm) Melvin Johnson's 5.7 MMJ carbines with the name of Johnson Arms were manufactured by Plainfield Machine in Middlesex, NJ. Johnson trademarked the 5.7 MMJ name. So Plainfield renamed their version as .223 caliber, changed shortly therafter to .22 PPMC and designated them their Model M5. This is simply a Plainfield Machine carbine manufactured in 5.7mm instead of .30 carbine. Serveral parts have the Plainfield logo. The trigger housing is Plainfield's aluminum version. The rear sight was added at some point. It was manufactured for West Germany as indicated by the NATO part number on the left side of the sight. It includes a magazine.
