My last day of vacation yesterday (hence I haven't been very active on the boards). Out for a bit of plinking on BLM land since the range was closed, then decided to stop by my favorite father-son gunshop on the way back. I saw an M1 Carbine in the consignment rack! He had two around Christmas last year and I decided I couldn't afford them...kicked myself ever since. Anyhow, I picked it up...and I never put it down until the paper work started. I just did a little internet checking to make sure the SN checked out. It's a mixmaster Rock-ola (their last SN block) receiver, undated Saginaw S.G. barrel (no import mark), Overland (OI) stock and handguard, etc. All late model features that I can see. It has a very good bore and crown. It also came with the sling attached (and well worn/creased at the barrel band sling swivel), the slip on style mag pouch, two spare mags and a spare oiler. I wasn't planning on dropping 8 bills yesterday

so my accountant (me) was chiding me but my id was dancing with glee...the accountant lost

It's my first M1 Carbine and I'm just tickled to have one that should be a good shooter. I'm curious about the rack and unit number. I'd like to think G Company in the 92nd ID but I have no idea

The lettering/numbering looks original, well worn, no linseed oil glaze over it, etc. I'm not very well read on M1 Carbines so I'm happy to have any information, advice, corrections to my mistakes etc. Thanks for looking!
