#165 Millville Ordnance (MOCO) M1 Carbine, caliber .30 carbine
Millville Ordnance (MOCO) was the predecessor of H & S and Plainfield Machine. There have been many various stories by commercial carbine manufacturers and marketing people of the 1960's claiming they had made carbines for the invasion of Cuba. This is the only one we've found evidence proving it's kind of true. While building carbines for retail sales the owner of this company supplied a number of carbines to Bautista for the re-invasion of Cuba. The carbines were seized as they were loaded on a plane in Miami. As a result the owner of MOCO was indicted in Federal court and incarcerated. Leading to the start of H & S carbines then Plainfield carbines. MOCO carbines were built using commercial receivers. The barrel on this one is a 2 groove 1903 barrel inserted into the rear half of a demilled GI barrel. Common for many manufacturers during the early to mid 1960's due to a lack of surplus barrels and no company had yet to make them. Not inherently unsafe. See the MOCO web page. This one includes a magazine. Price: $SOLD      http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_millville.html |
