OGCA is a members only show. One must be invited. Figure I'll need to have all the things ready before figuring out that part. Not enough hours in the day...


m1a1fan,

I'm fairly certain I can get you an invitation.

I could also sponsor you as a member, and then you could make an entry in the annual display show. The next one is in May, so it's probably too late for that, but maybe next year?

Thanks David. As you noted, it will be a while escpecially since my designer is busy with retirement. Will reach out when the time comes. That is one show I've always wanted to go to. Not sure if it is because I know there is great stuff there (which I'm know there is) or if it is because I can't get in.

Only thing I can say for sure is it will be near impossible to measure up to PBI's display. I watched the Inland video and thought it was fanstastic. Even freeze framed the carbine parts where a trigger housing was shown. Interestingly, it looked finished, but the rear lug was not.

Just let me know when you're ready. I will be happy to get you in the door.

I would not worry too much about trying to measure up to a previous display. No matter what, an M1 Carbine display will be appreciated by many.

It is with a SAD heart this announcement is being made. I learned this morning that collector and great friend old59porshe passed away on Oct. 7, 2020. Fred was a great person who served his country and enjoyed the hobby of collecting the M1 Carbine. It was always a pleasure to see him at the National M1 Carbine display I held in Birmingham Alabama. Fred you will never be forgotten by the Carbine crew of Thomas, Ken, Charlie, Kenny, Cooper and myself. RIP my friend until we reunite one day.

If Paul is still around, I think he would be pleased to know I still have that AO/IBM lineout NPM receiver that he sold me. Only these days, it is a complete carbine with correct parts. It isn't what I would call a restoration because I made no effort to make it look like it was all original, just "correct".

BTW, I've been an OGCA member for over 25 years and I remember that display very well.

I recently picked up an early 44 Winchester in near perfect condition. I was shocked to see how nice it was. I'm sure it was a closet queen for many years. The stock markings are solid and correct, none of the fake markings we so often see on too good to be true carbines. One of the old time collectors from my club had it and decided to part with it. Needless to say, it has a place of honor in my collection now. And I'm still collecting M3 trench knives and M4 bayonets to go with them.

This is quite a display.  Didn’t know there were that many configurations made by Inland.  Must have taken a lot of effort to collect this many beautiful examples.  Thanks Paul.

I'd love to do a display at OGCA, but I'm not a very good display builder. I could easily display carbines by every maker and M3 trench knives to go with them, but building a display is just not my strong point. I've done some small displays in the past, but nothing elaborate. Conneaut Ohio has a D-day event every year any I've set up at the local D-day Museum, but that is a small venue and it doesn't take much for a display there. And I don't have a lot of room there so the display is fairly small. I could even display carbine holsters and cases, plus the types of Grenade launchers and inert grenades and aerial flares. Lots of show and tell, but no talent for display making.

I believe you have seen the OGCA displays, so you know that many are really well done, and compete at the national level. That being said, Carbine displays are always welcome, and you don't have to win an award for folks to appreciate your effort and the history presented within your display. I think you should go for it, and then potentially further develop the display going forward. Carbine displays are too far and between currently, and the exposure is always positive.
