That is a beautiful carbine Baljit. One would require a PB license to own one (in its original form) here in India.

best,

:cpix: Another iconic weapon lying in good numbers as NSP with the army. Its a shame they cannot be given to civilians for sporting/self defence purposes.I know being a 'PB'. A friend has it here and i will pester him to show it to me next time the opportunity arises. (Bro u listening).....lol

Congrats thats a handsome gun in a great condition..not sure if the gent was serving in US or Canadian army because I always thought M1 was used by only US guys and not the commonwealth nation armies..

Cheers

Hi Baljit,

Lovely rifle you have, drool, Yum-1 Carbine - Sooooper Specimen, looks almost new!

I have one too (M1 Carbine) Baljit, stuck somewhere in an armory in Madurai, Tamil Nadu for the past 29 years! It was a gift, willed to me from my Pa-ji (Late, Medical Officer, Gentleman and Colonel, Indian Army; Ma was a Captain in the Indian Nursing Service).

The 'no clue' Collector/Dist. Magistrate thought I was too young to own a gun, when I applied for a license. Very quick, very short, interview and all he said was "NO" - get out! Ouch!

It is still there on deposit in the armory, belongs to me, I can touch, see, feel, any time I am there but, I cant own it. And I haven't been back in India for many years now :oops:

What can I say my friend - maybe one day when I am in Canada and I have my PAL, I can apply to import it over - simply as a memory to my late Dad! :(
:cheers:
