I posted this on Milsurps and probably a lot of y'all read it already, but I want to share this question here. I hope for some help. I would like to know so if someone I know is restoring or needs one I can give them one. Thank You. "I know this Owner/Collector of M1 Carbines here that is retiring and ask me if I would be interested in any parts. Well of course I was. 2 of the several parts I bought were Triggers with a Trident and the letter N. I knew it was used by NPM by the books I have. What I didn't get from the books was are these early Triggers or Rebuild Triggers (late). I seen and heard both. There is the Trident then a dot then the N and another dot in the center not on the bottom of the letters like most are. My NPM has a SN marked Trigger. Would any other persons who have or had a NPM or anybody with knowledge of this would Please share some information about this. I bought several other parts that I've been looking for quite awhile with no luck and can't believe this guy had a few all this time. TIA." Frank  |

From War Baby They were made by Neptune Meter Co. Long Island City NY They also were made for Underwood. The NPM manufactures newsletter from 1987 states that no trident N were found on original NPM carbines to date. Hopefully someone with better knowledge can as to if used will chime in. Here is one for Underwood  |

I didn't buy them for my NPM. I bought them cause I seen in Riesch's Book and Harrison that NPM had used them, and one said that they were used in Rebuilds, but my came with a SN marked one. I just by parts and have 100's of them and didn't have these in my Collection. I bought 4 Original Flip Sight for 200.00 but not one for was a NPM. I attached the picture from Newmarketarm in the email i sent you cause that's the only place I've seen them on. Did you get my Photobucket ? It came with the CMP Certificate and Booklet and Data Sheet. This in one of my Favorite M1 Carbines in my Collection. Thanks for your Help. Frank ------------- Frank |
