My new M1 Carbine (pictures too!)

Just wanted to share some photos of my newly acquired M1 Carbine. Its a Rock-Ola that belonged to my father-in-law, and it was given to him by a family friend. Its super clean and looks like its hardly been fired! Came with a pristine magazine, sling, and case. Not sure of the case is original...probably not.

Anyway...this is my first vintage rifle and I know very little about it. Its going off to Fulton's for a TI, then I'm going to start shooting it!

Here is a full-length shot with the case:



Here is a closeup of the action:



Front sight:



Here's the rear sight. Can the sight be re-finished? The zero mark on the back is faded, and the finish is blemished. The anal retentive bastard in me wants to "fix" it, but I don't want to do anything that will affect it's value.



And a side shot of the rear sight. What does the SA stamp mean?



Anyway...I'm super excited to have this. Can't wait to start shooting!
