1943-44 WW2 National Postal Meter U.S. M1 Carbine in .30 Carbine w/ Magazine & Sling
** Original 3rd Block Production Gun ** SOLD
Description: This is an original U.S.G.I. bring-back National Postal Meter M1 Carbine. It is exactly how it was bright back from the war, and is exactly how it left the factory EXCEPT for the rear sight which was likely a field replacement. We acquired it directly from the family of the vet that brought it home, and it has never been on the collector's market before now. We have been thru this gun piece by piece checking it with the book "Comprehensive Guide M1 Carbine" by by R.C. Larson and everything except for the rear sight is correct, proper, and most importantly ORIGINAL. This gun has not been made right or correct, it has never been anything but. This M1 Carbine was carried and used in WW2 and as such shows some age and wear you would expect to see. The patina on all of the metal parts is consistent and attractive. The green-gray parkerizing and blue finish on the flat bolt is all factory original. All of the factory markings are still crisp and clear on the major parts as well as the marked small parts. The bore is mirror-bright and excellent, with strong and sharp rifling throughout the barrel. The original stock on this National Postal Meter is in good condition overall but does have a crack in it located on the left side of the receiver. The crack is stable enough that we have left it as-is but is an easy repair for the new owner if he/she so chooses. The original boxed "NPM" over "FJA" U.S. Military inspection cartouche is still nice and visible on the butt alongside the U.S. Ordnance Wheel cartouche. The sling well still has a nice and crisp "Trimble TN." maker mark, proper for a Postal Meter Carbine. All of the original stock hardware is still intact and in good condition including the Type 2 barrel band, the buttplate, and the recoil plate. The action on this M1 Carbine is smooth and in perfect working order, as-is all of the controls on this gun. This National Postal Meter comes with one 15-round U.S.G.I. "A.I." marked magazine in perfect working order and it's original WW2-issuesling. If you have been looking for an original WW2 National Postal Meter U.S. M1 Carbine for your collection here is your chance to get one that is on the collector's market for the very first time, straight "out of the woodwork"!
