I picked up an m1 garand and an m1 carbine about 3 months or so ago, I was wondering if anyone can give me any info on these rifles. Here are the details.
M1 carbine. On the rear of the receiver it is stamped Winchester with serial number 1124904. On the front top of the receiver on top it is stamped U.S carbine cal 30 M1. The barrel is stamped buffalo arms 11-1943. It came with an original issued green carrying bag. Paid 500$. barrel and stock in good shape.
My M1 garand is stamped on the rear of the receiver it says U.S rifle cal. .30 M1 springfield armory serial number 3849082. On top of the bolt it has a set of number D28287-12SA then right below these number it has s-B7 and then the shape of a diamond right next to the 7, diamond is same size as the letters. In the stock it has what looks to be the original field cleaning kit including the bolt takedown piece a large wire brush with a piece of plastic in the end. five or so pieces of metal that screw into each other to make a cleaning rod, encased in old green tubular piece of green canvas. Also came with original issued green carrying bag. Barrel and stock in good shape. It has been glass bedded and has a match trigger. paid 900$. Pics can be provided if needed.
Any info such as history and are these original parts and such would be awesome. It would nice to know i didnt get ripped off also.
Thank you.
