I’ve been looking for one for about 2 years when I finally came across one about 2 days ago.
Its an import, but it didn’t matter to me all that much. If I wanted a collectors price like my all original type 1 inland carbine - I’d had to wait a lot longer.
Ive done some research as to the parts in it
Receiver: Dec 1943
barrel: 1/50
trigger guard: 11/40 thru 8/41
trigger assy: 11/44 thru 1/45
hammer: 9/40 thru 6/42
op rod: 12/57 - info says N.m. For the numbers on it???
importer in “EXEL” in Gardner mass. Any one have info on these?
From what hat I can tell it’s all Springfield and war era aside from the barrel and op rod
I got the rifle at a steal - as it was an import
stock is not GI - I’ll replace when I find a suitable one. It has a repaired crack on the upper handguard
Has the receiver been re-parked?
Here are some photos. Thanks ahain
cheers
