![]() ![]() Please note that there will be no magazines, I repeat no magazines sold or shiwith the gun. Everything is dated 1943 and could have been used with the carbine in 1943. Also included in the price are 120 rounds of 30 caliber tracer, 220 rounds of ball 30 caliber, a tool kit, 10 pouch ammo belt, sling, and a bayonet and scabbard. I would advise the buyer to have it inspected by a competent gunsmith. The carbine looks great and operates and functions perfectly. Hammer - type III hammer marked NI (Inland). Bolt – type III round bolt marked A.I.2 (Inland). ![]() ![]() ![]() Operating slide - type V slide, marked with 7161843 (inland or Winchester).

The stock would have originally been on a carbine produced by national postage meter. SSA arsenal rebuild mark on the left side. Stock - low wood, oval cut slot, visible crossed cannons cartouche with NPM over FJA, marked Trimble TN in the sling well. Bore is bright with good rifling, muzzle erosion measures 1.0. Barrel-marked buffalo arms, dated 10/1943. A breakdown of the carbine is as follows : receiver - national postal meter, serial number 4116489, third production block (November 1943 through June 1944.). The bore is bright and shiny with good rifling, the muzzle wear measures about 1.0. The barrel date is consistent with the range of the serial number of the gun and I am of the opinion that the barrel is original to the receiver. The receiver has the original gray-green Parkerized finish which perfectly matches the finish on the Buffalo Arms marked barrel. The barrel and stock are correct for a NPM carbine, but the remainder of the parts are from a variety of manufacturers, mostly Inland, all our USGI and dating from WWII.
