Beautiful rifle!
M1 carbine trivia...Plainfield Machine in NJ was also a manufacturer of M1 carbines. During the Plainfield riots of 1967. Plainfield Machine was broken into and a bunch of M1 carbines were stolen. The rational response for.the state would have been to track down the thieves and as many of the stolen guns as possible, but that seemed hard, so NJ instead chose to ban the M1 carbine by name, and force all legal owners of such to turn them in or otherwise dispose of them--none were grandfathered, no compensation was offered. They didn't say if their efforts to sweep up untold thousands of legal carbines also resulted in stolen ones being turned in...one suspects not. To this day, M1 carbines remain illegal in NJ. I'm so glad I moved back to Idaho!
