I went into my local pawn shop today and as the owner know me and knows that I like surplus and military weapons, said he had something to show me. He then placed in my hands a 1943 inland sg stamped, all numbers matching m1 carbine! The bore, furniture, and everything else was perfect! As the drool ran down my face I asked were he got it and how much he paid. His response was a guy walked in off the street handed him the gun said he needed some money, didn’t want to pawn it, wanted to sell it outright, and asked it $125.00 would be a fair price. Normally I would call bull but I know this pawn shop owner, he is an honest man and not prone to tell y’all tales! I have know reason to doubt this story. And yes I asked how much he wanted for it. He said it’s not for sale I’m keeping this one myself. Oh well at least I got to hold it! I can only hope he changes his mind and let’s me buy it at a reasonable price.
