Thanks Mike ..glad you like it and , I was really happy finding my untouched 1944 �03 �because as you said , many of the ones out there have been reworked. I know we generally accept GI �parts Guns� as the norm these days but ..complete matching Rifles do command a lot more Money. I was just offered an IBM Carbine (mis matched parts) for $800 �the same seller also has an untouched textbook example IBM that he wants $3,000 for.
That�s a little high for me ..think I�ll keep searching the local Yard Sales since the IBM�s were made in my neighborhood and there must still be a sleeper out there .
