thanks tom !
some other things that will tell. most repos are obvious. I had one many years ago that was a real good repo even had the high wood,but it did not have these characteristics of the originals. at one time my pops and I had alot of em. he was a big fan of the M1 carbine. Larry Ruth's book "war baby" is a decent reference
but plate construction with casting marks
correct rivets and leather on cheek piece
pistol grip and folder contruction(nice-n-tight) with correct marks on the bottom and inside the forearm,which originals are high wood
just to name a few...
thanks gentleman !

Very nice!
A little piece inside of me dies every time I see a deactivated war veteran.
I have an IBM carbine that saw use in WW2, Korea, maybe Vietnam, and then it was used by the Israeli's. I love it! So fun to shoot.
They are a blast to shoot and extremely reliable. they are great for what they were intended,a multi purpose close range carbine. high volume of fire power and light load out. I use to back pack with one,for those reasons.
