SOLD VERY CHOICE, US WWII VERY RARE QUALITY HARDWARE M1 CARBINE, EARLY I CUT STOCK, AUG 1943 PRODUCTION, MINT!

This is an unbeatable mint crisp  example of an early 2nd contract production Quality Hardware M1 Carbine that was manufactured in  August of 1943 the second contract ran concurrently with the end of the first contract.  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  I-cut Rockola stock and an a rare 8-43 Buffalo Arms Barrel.  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 one of the few I cut Quality Hardware Carbines we have had.
