New addition

[coolhandluke]

Picked up a nice Plainfield from one of my good buddies and fellow forum member rjbrooks7. It's an early production rifle built using USGI parts. The only commercially produced parts are the receiver, barrel, and trigger housing. The rear sight and Type III front band are Inland and the slide is Postal Meter. I have not disassembled the trigger group yet to identify the parts. I gave everything a good clean and lube, dropped it in a SA potbelly stock, and added a repro sling and stock pouch. Overall it's a great little rifle and looks like a USGI carbine at first glance. I'm happy to have this one in my collection...especially considering the prices that USGI rifles are bringing these days. I'm not sure if I would be able to justify dropping the cash on one anytime soon.

When I decide to start collecting WWII milsurps I'm just gonna tell you to pick it out for me. 'Cause I knows it's gonna be bling.

Nice one. Its a strong possibility the tg is alloy. Not the end of the world but sometimes they need attention to keep the mag feeding reliably.

I do like my milsurps neat and clean. They may not look like they have a ton of character and history but at least they're easy to look at...lol.

The trigger housing is definitely alloy. It still feeds without any issues at this point and if it ever wears out I'll just replace it with a USGI piece. The fact that the Plainfields are 100% compatible with USGI parts makes things much easier.

I agree, it is a nice looking Carbine and the pictures are quality!

I like your sling and pouch better than mine.
