Just received my CMP carbine today. Mailed everything in on 15 July and she showed up today. She is a Quality Hardware service grade, SN 15785xx. I haven't had time to get to details, but here's a pic. On a quick glance, the wood has been sanded (evident sanding marks), no cartouches...the handguard is much darker and looks like it came from a different stock. I will go over the metal later if anyone is interested. Bore is sweet. Shiny with lots of life in her.
I was surprised that there was no magazine with it. I would like to get some period magazines and a period sling. Was going to start looking on GB to see what I can find.
I have Craig Reisch's book on carbines and was getting ready to do some homework.
