*SAGINAW S.G. M-1 CARBINE.

*SAGINAW S.G. M-1 CARBINE. SN X8084911. Cal. 30. 18″ bbl. This Saginaw gear carbine is a typical arsenal rebuild, with the exception that the SN has been changed for some unknown reason. The SN shows as X8084911. According to the Carbine Club Newsletter no. 332, dated November of 2005, a possible explanation is that these X-8 million numbers were issued to field service depots and rebuild facilities for the purpose of restamping carbines with damaged or mutilated SNs. A copy of this letter will accompany this rifle, as it is pictured by SN. The rifle is assembled as follows: The Saginaw receiver with the aforementioned number with the typical “SG” marking is on the left side of the receiver. The SN is stamped both underneath the rear sight, as well as in front of the rear sight, with no maker name on the rear receiver. The rear sight is a Type 3 stamped, with the front sight being a Rock Island replacement. The trigger housing is Underwood in its entirety, with the exception of a contract flip safety and a late-war replacement magazine catch. The bolt is Underwood and retains a re-parkerized finish. The operating slide is “PI” marked and a Type B. Butt stock is an IBM with the letter “J” in the channel with a “RIA / EB” rebuild mark. The handguard is a 4-rivet with an added “IO” mark on the bottom. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Barreled receiver retains approx. 88-90% of the orig finish, with the majority of wear coming from having the slide actuated. Flat bolt is re-parkerized with a blued extractor. Trigger housing shows orig parkerized finish with all small parts being blued except the trigger and the safety. Butt stock shows good-plus with only a few minor scuffs present, and the handguard shows good with one impression approx. 3″ from the rear. Mechanics are crisp and the bore is bright and shiny. 4-37350 (1,500-2,500)
