Description

This is an unbeatable condition mint crisp exceptional museum grade example of an very early production Quality Hardware M1 Carbine that was manufactured in in very early 1943.  Quality Hardware was one of the scarcest producers and they were located just down the road from Rock-Ola, who provided them with stocks and barrels and a lot of QC advice. This example has a beautiful Rock-Ola stock and a 1-43 Rock-Ola barrel which confirms along with the serial number that production occurred in late June or early July of 1943 as Rock-Ola stopped dating barrels in June.  Getting a carbine this rare and this nice is a huge deal to any serious carbine collector.  We have been doing this for a long time and this is the earliest I cut QH we have had.
