Finely sporterized M1 Carbine ...

[CountryGent]

I know some may suggest I'm nuts, or worst headed to the Ninth Circle of Hell, for admiring this one, but daaaaaaaaaang, me like! Anyway, I found it neat-o, so thought I'd pass it along.

That's pretty cool, I wouldn't mind having one.

That made me throw up in my mouth a little.

One must learn to embrace the surreal.

(Last time I said that to my wife she, literally, responded with "I married you; that's an everyday thing". )

It has a certain black sheep appeal.

Thing's rad with the full stock and ferrule cap. I'd prefer reciever sights but ya man me likey!

I want to hate it....but it does look at least like it was well done...so, I would probable spring for paying a dollar three nighty eight, shoot it and then...put it out of it's misery and sell the USGI Winchester parts to a loving new home.

Fajen used to make a blonde maple/walnut laminated thumbhole mannlicher stock for the Carbine. Stripey and Racy looking!

When all the patriots finally succeed in seceding from Oregon don't be surprised when they leave one small island of land within Oregon's jurisdiction.

OK.....................but please, oh please, don't propose to arm the residents of this small island with this firearm. They can do better

They'll pull out the Spanish Destroyer, because even the Portland attackers would be incensed at the sight of a sporterized M1!

So much "Funny" up there ^^. Made me LOL.

I can see the attraction there. Hey, if somebody has already butchered a nice rifle years ago no harm in appreciating it now. They didn't know what they were doing. What I did notice, and thought was quite telling of the guys mind? When he said at 1:32 "...Just, the handling of this THING..." Well yeah.

I like it............. in a sick, perverted, twisted kind of way.

Tho I much prefer my wife's version with a Tiger-eye Maple Monte Carlo stock.

I'll have to pull it out of the safe to get pictures, but I suspect I have the next one that whomever built that one did. Ultra fine polish and bluing, aftermarket (left handed) stock, even a compensator on the business end (though why you need a compensator on .30 carbine, I can't say). I have survivor carbines, too, and won't go changing them. I bought this one because it was cheap, and just kinda well-done.

Both sound neat-o. If you ever get a chance to post pics, that would be of interest.

It did look like someone did a damn nice job on it. While it seems anathema now, many of course do not remember when these guns were a common sight in the used gun market CHEAP. They use to be in almost any shop, many hardware stores and such. Go to the shows decades back and they were all over the place cheap. So someone took one and really nice'd it up. At the time it was done I am sure no one gave a thought to "ruining" a collector piece as at that time they were so damn cheap. I hate to think about how many I have had over the years that were just something to play with and sell again.
