#2 I picked up this 1944 Inland (General Motors) M1 Carbine for a couple of Franklins. It was a real Mixmaster with Inland barrel and receiver, United Postal Meter trigger housing, White Sewing Machine hammer, Saginaw slide and a missing hand guard.

The stock shows it had been through rebuild at Anniston Alabama twice and Augusta Arsenal once.

Then Bubba got ahold of it and tried to sand away the etched rack numbers.

I did some parts swapping with a fella that has almost 200 Carbines. This brought up the rifle to Inland Factory Correct. Then I restored the stock and added a hand guard I finished to match.

Obamacare is ruining our Medical Software business. Many of our Doctor clients are either joining larger groups or a significant number are simply retiring.

I've started a new sideline, restoring and/or refinishing M1 Carbine stocks and hand guards.

P.S. I'm not really going to build this business, the Guvmint will?

#3 A "mixmaster" yes, but all American made. Very nicely done by the way. I like a thin, hand rubbed linceed oil treatment. The wood seems to like it and the aroma is pleasing when you open the safe door.
