Quality Hardware M1 Carbine

MOONED
What is the correct barrel which should be used on a Quality Hardware M1? Mine has a Buffalo Arms. Is that correct? If not, what manufacture of M1 should have the Buffalo Arms barrel?

Thanks in Advance,

Aaron

    OK, a few weeks back I acquired an M1 carbine. I took a few pictures of it and am curious of the "originality" of the firearm. I don't know enough about M1 carbines, so I leave the judging to you all. There is no marks that I can see on the front sight. The barrel band is marked "JM". There is only what appears to be an "L" inside the sling well on the stock.

    With the pictures enclosed please provide the best analysis of this item and potential value. Thanks in advance.

    Since you are interested in identifying the small parts on your carbine, I think the best approach would be for you to buy an inexpensive paperbook, US M1 CARBINES, WARTIME PRODUCTION by Craig Riesch.

    It's really too difficult for us to do on an Internet forum.

    With out the serinal number its hard to tell if anything is original. The rifle looks like a rebuild! The Buffalo Arms barrel was used by Quality Hardware so the barrel and receiver most likley is original. These are good rifles and fun to shot so that is what I would do with it.
