Crosman M1 Carbine, BB rifle (wood stock)

Includes the original Crosman magazine (1). This item is in used condition (see photos). The slide/bolt works. The cocking mechanism works but it does not fire. It may just need a new gas gasket (readily available many places) but it has not been disassembled for close inspection. Larry purchased this in 1987. His kids may have used it. It's intact with normal aging.

Underwood M1 Carbine converted to 5.7 MMJ by Johnson Arms

The 5.7MMJ markings on the top of the received behind the bolt identify this as a conversion done by Johnson Arms. Their conversions involved replacing the barrel with a commercial barrel sleeved for 5.7mm Johnson. Beyond this it depended on what extras the owner wanted. In this case it appears the Williams rear peep sight was the only other modification. The 5.7mm cartridge does not require alteration of the bolt or any parts other than the barrel. This carbine retains it's .30 cal. carbine markings on the receiver ring.

Note the receiver finish. I suspect a previous owner may have removed a high polished finish sometimes typical of the Johnson conversions. The GI bolt, slide and trigger housing appear to have retained their finish but for signs of wear from usage. The stock is a GI oval cut highwood stock.

This carbine is the carbine shown in War Baby Volume III, page 1502, figure 1737. It will include a certificate of authenticity identifying it as part of The Larry Ruth Collection.

Further on the GI carbines converted to 5.7mm by Johnson Armscan be found on our web page devoted to the 5.7mm carbines.

SOLD

Wooden toy M1 carbines made using rejected carbine stocks began appearing in various sales publications towards the end of WWII. Then continued for a number of
years after the war ended. These were manufactured by several different companies. Some, but not all, indicated their name somewhere on the toy.

Some of this history can be found on our forum here: http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/forum/wooden-toy-carbines_topic3142.html

This specific example appears in War Baby vol III p. 1618, fig 1945. It was part of the Larry Ruth Collection. It has no markings identifying the company who made it. Larry believed it was manufactured by Parris-Dunn, one of the well known manufacturers of these toys. Others now suspect it was manufactured by a different company.

This example will include a certificate verifying it's authenticity as part of The Larry Ruth Collection.

Price: SOLD

Please submit questions or a desire to purchase by a private message here on the forum.

Note: This post has been reworded after input from a member more familiar with these toys than I am. Thanks much!

#141 Liberty Armory M1 Carbine, caliber .30 carbine, s/n EXP 01

Liberty Armory was Club member Larry Horner. During the 90's he assembled all of the carbines for Firearm's International
and Israel Arms International, and iai. After the demise of iai he acquired a number of their receivers and commercial
parts in lieu of money they owed him. He used these to assemble a number of carbines such as the two iai carbines above. To
which he added the Liberty Armory name.

At some point prior he constructed his own limited number of carbines using the Liberty Armory name. This was his first and a
prototype. The barrel and receiver are commercial. The stock is an M2 potbelly GI. He used various surplus GI parts when he
constructed this one. Included are the sling and a magazine. He used a plastic dowel in place of an oiler.

Larry Horner knew carbines and how to manufacture them. He had his own large collection from WWII manufacturers.
