I don't like the look of the stamping on the hammer. I think there may only be two Rock-Ola parts on this trigger group and the trigger. The picture of the trigger housing is blurry and it even kind of a mangled ROCK-OLA stamp on that housing. It is a "complete" trigger group, but in no way "all Rock-Ola".


Looking again, the hammer looks like it maybe a rollermillseast special.

I have been watching that trigger group for quite a while. Surprised some sucker hasn't bit the hook yet. Surprised the seller didn't put in a BR hammer and claim it was Rock-Ola as well. That said, I think I remember someone paying something like $400 or more for a stripped stamped Rock-Ola trigger housing on E-bay a while back.

Sometimes a seller sees a carbine part sell for $$$$ and they ask $$$$ without knowing why that part got what it did, and they assume their item must have the same value.

I hope the following was listed with good intent and may not know just what gems they have

"All Rockola M1 Carbine Complete Trigger Group in great shape."

How many Rockola parts can you count?

Another great sling on EBay! And only $329!

Seller's description:
"For sale here is an early WWII U.S. khaki C-Tip M1 Carbine 1943 sling .. The sling is in excellent non-frayed condition. These early tan slings have always been hard to find, and this sling is a nice one. Absolutely 100% guaranteed to be an original."

"Surplus US M1 Carbine Sling Gun Strap Origonal"
Sellers description: "Used M1 caribe sling. Dated May 52 also marked MRT."

Maybe they should have said also marked MRT and MRT and MRT

What is this one, the famous "Alligator" pattern stock used in swamp warfare?

A cartoon from Life Magazine 1944. Good to see them having fun with themselves.

The true wholy-grail (sic)

"M1 Paratrooper Carbine made by Winchester chambered in .30 Carbine. This is a rare Winchester with matching barrel, receiver, bolt, trigger assembly, hammer and more. Overall excellent condition.Stock is in has good condition with multiable cartouschs,"

http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/forum/uploads/5600/FunnyWinM1a1_7.jpg

And evidently these unicorns went exclusively to the Marines.

http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/forum/uploads/5600/FunnyWinM1a1_1.jpg

further proof would be a selector cutout, presumably because the Marines were getting them and the Army just regular M1a1s.

note the "M" on the bolt. Marines?

Liberium, I think that you should closely compare the flash hider that you have to the one I pictured above. The one above is a replica FH that has been stamped with a .U. to make it appear that it was manufactured by Underwood. What markings are on your flash hider? For more information on legitimate USGI flash hiders see link below.
