Post Reply - How to Make a New Post

   Not sure where to post this.  My father was an Army Engineer.  He served in the Pacific in WWII, and then went back for Korea in 1950.  FWIW, in Korea he was there when the Red Chinese came in.  His comment was "fire  your basic load and run like hell."   
I served two years active duty in Army in Panama Canal Zone in early Vietnam era, so by the time Vietnam really got cranked up, I was a Veteran and home going to college on the GI Bill.  No combat, but was an Infantry MOS.  Get my hearing aids from VA, and got a "Army Veteran" plate on my car.  

My father brought an M1 Carbine home from Korea, which is the gun he taught me to shoot on. He was Army Engineer (I believe he would be considered "Combat Engineer.") 

He passed away about 8 years back, (at 92!) and it has been just sitting in  the closet since then.   I took it out to the range a couple of times, and then cleaned it.  

Hate to but I need to sell it.  Don't want to just take it to some gun store.  Much happier if it goes to someone who appreciates it and its history.   

it is pretty much a standard US M-1 Carbine.  No rust.  i believe it would be considered to be in very good condition.  Serial Number 2048xxx.  Not positive, but from online lists, looks like manufactured by Standard Products based on this serial number, and sometime in 1943.   

When I figure out how to post a picture I will do that on here.

Not sure if it is OK to offer a carbine for sale on here, but I do need to sell it.   And in the meantime if anybody has any information about its origin, etc. that would be great.

I'll check back to see if anyone has any info or comments. Thanks
