   Hello folks-Been collecting carbines since the late 90's, most from the CMP.
I still have hundreds of monthly subscription publications I received when I was a member of "The Carbine Club". I will soon post here some VERY informative info as reference. 

Here are some pics of my recent shooter, purchased from a fellow LEO.
Nothing special here, National Ordnance cast receiver, (200370 1960?) probable 1903 used barrel with an identical machined
 Inland style gas cylinder, Inland bolt and all internals, cast 
commercial hammer, Inland trigger, sear, Quality Hardware slide, type 3 
USGI rear sight, type 3 USGI bbl band, commercial trigger housing. Stock
 is walnut with no stampings. Repro mag pouch but USGI sling. Headspace 
closes on a 1.290 perfect and NOT on a 1.295. ( Good to go!)
Thank you for the post folks!

	Tommy, Nice looking carbine! Fixed format. What you can do is do your text, hit enter twice to create a gap before adding pictures. It works the other way around too. Post pics, enter twice, add text. Welcome back to the club!
