Serial Numbers to Look for and Report

Dave, thanks but your WRA serial number does not fall into the range of unreported WRA serial numbers mentioned on page 1 of this thread.

While downloading and sorting carbine serial numbers for the "Serial Number Spread Sheets" I discovered two carbines that had serial numbers in the "Contract Terminated" range.

Standard Products S/N 2261131 appears in the 1958 Armory Theft thread here:

Underwood S/N 2613260 appears in the Chicken Coop Carbines article in CCNL 322, page 4

One of the Assigned Serial Number Range for Quality 4,632,100 - 4,879,525. That M1 Carbine look to be in that range. (Correct?)

This may not be what your looking for But I have a Undwerwood ser.# 2601098 with a S code receiver. Barrel date, 1- 44. Hope it helps.   frank

@ww2farmer, the NPM serial range we are looking for is (4313313-4325227) and (4389894-4425093) your NPM is a bit outside of these ranges. Still very interested in hearing more about your recently acquired Postal Meter.

I don't know much about it myself. 

@ww2farmer, Thank you for the additional information. Other than the stock, the rest of the parts you noted are what I would have expected. Is the IBM stock marked in any way to suggest a reason for its use on this carbine? Any rebuild marks or additional letters stamped in the sling well? How is the recoil plate marked? How is the handguard marked? The highest serial number in the NPM Spread Sheet (4426---) is also COM 125 and it has an early Inland dogleg hammer and an Underwood trigger.

Harley08, thanks again for telling us about your 7 mil WRA and Inland. Neither of your carbines fall into the unreported serial # range that is published in the 1st post of this thread.
