This **National Postal Meter M-1 Carbine.30 Cal was mfg abt 6/43*. The guns bluing is a medium dark parkerizing throughout. It has all of the correct parts for the WW II war period. The barrel is a Buffalo Arms (11-43) w/Flaming Bomb. The bore is shiney w/a distinct rifling and measures "1" . The Buttstock is a dark Walnut W/a faint cartouche on it's Right Side is says "NPM/FJA" framed iby a very faint square.The sling well has a lightly stamped "TN".
Thee are no cracks, dings or noticable markings. The matching handguard is a 2 - hole wT2 w/"TN" on the underside. The action is normal.** Also this particular NPM has a (Rare to me) "Union Switch Receiver".
* I reference these publications for my info: R. C. Larson's M-1 Carbine 2nd Edition, US M-1 Carbine 7th Edition, & Harrison's M1 Carb III. In Larson's book he
mention's that because NPM out sourced most of their parts Serialed Numbers were often mixed up and as a result they wouldn't come off the production line in numerical order..There are many mixed parts as a result of these production schedules. (THE SLING, OILER AND MAGAZINE W/RUBBER CUP ARE FOR PRESENTATION ONLY AND NOT INCLUDED). This NPM to me is an NRA Very Good to excellent and would make both an Excellent Collectible & range firearm.
