Bought my NPM M1 Carbine back in 89 for 199 mine has a Underwood barrel 11-43 dated. back during WW2 the DOD rated the National Postal Meter M1Carbines to be the best quality of all the war time makers. Not to mention the cool factor of the name along with Rock Ola
@richbutler7828 very cool, that's awesome. I should have bought one like 20 years ago, but for whatever reason didn't. I really do like that mine has the NPM stock. I've not seen many of them. Does yours have this as well? Thanks for sharing!
PM c Postal Meter ? I will look it up. 2 rivet hand guard that's right. Look in the sling well and look for the marking in there. that is a small pin repair on the stock. You got a good one for sure. See ya soon.
Expensive, but SO MUCH FUN. Thanks for showing us. Enjoy it! PS: Its always worth doing a FOIA request on these to see if anything comes back. Good luck.
@@The_Casual_Collector I do it for all my M1 Garands and any other service weapons. Usually its not much but its free and can provide some good info sometimes. Good luck!
CMP was kind enough to send me a Winchester & Rock-Ola M1 Carbine from the Italian Lend-Lease lottery.
Very nice, I sure wish I had gotten an M1 from them years ago when they were much cheaper.
A lot of those cmp m1’s were sent with a new pmc mag from South Korea. Great gun! Enjoy 👍
None of my CMP M1 Carbines came with mags. Bummer. South Korean mags work well.
Thanks, I just found a few sources for NOS USGI mags, I might buy a few to unbox.
Very nice looking rifle. We need to see some shooting videos with a few of your guns.
I fully intend to, when I get the time to and when it's not like 400 degrees outside...🤣

@@The_Casual_Collector Yeah, My stock was made by tremble has the TN in the sling well
Expensiv bute worth it, what a fantastic plinker !
In very nice condition too (the crack is looking ok in my opinion)
Thanks, been wanting one for many years and finally decided to splurge on one.
I love the videos! I have bought 2 guns from Empire, yes, his system is different, but he has good service and quality guns.
Awesome, thanks! It's good to hear similar testimonies from others!
