M1 carbine

sugarae
I have a Rockola M1 Carbine with the barrel stamped.

NDERW 000
2-44

Can't find any reference to it.

Thanks

    I was wondering if anyone knew a left handed saftey lever is avalible for the M1 Carbine or if its possible for the existing lever to be fliped around so it can be better opperated by a left-handed shooter.

    How about an Inland? They were the only company to build the folding stock carbine.

    I just love my IBM. Its what got me started collecting old military rifles. I have not yet had the privilage to shoot a NPM but how could you go wrong with either. The price of 30 carbine ammo is just nuts! Just stay away from Universal M1 carbines.

    Quantities manufactured are about the same.

    If both are rebuilds, there is no substantial difference in desirability.

    NPM made 413017 carbines and IBM made 346500. So I guess I'd pick IBM but I dont think they really know how many each made.

    If I were going to get one and use it to shoot target or plink with I would get a late Inland, they were make right up to the end of the war others were not. For shooting a lot of people I have talked to like the Underwood for a shooter. On the other side of the coin there is the colector value, some of the other models of the carbine are more collectable that others. The question is what are you going to use the rifle for.

    not one manufacturer is any better than the other. ibm is more rare which makes it more desirable to collectors. one will shoot as good as the other.

    The number of them manufactured by any one maker, has nothing to do with the desirability from a collector. All of the numbers for total manufactured from each maker are used for statistically calculating the rarity factor. The Holy Grail of M1 carbine collecting would be un-arsenal rebuilt, all original matching numbers Irwin Pederson, Winchester, and Rock-Ola made versions. The closer to mint condition the better.

    Now for your question...I would take the National Postal Meter version.
