Can you put the link back up to the original ad so I can see what you were offering to be ready for next time? It's frustrating being a few hours too late to even see the ad. Thanks.

What do the Carbines come with for magazines? The site doesn't specify (or I'm blind).
Thanks.

Since the 1970’s investment cast steel receivers for commercial M1 carbines have been common, with satisfactory performance. My I-J has mostly cast parts; slide, bolt, hammer, trigger housing, in addition to the receiver. Cast steel alloys, whether 86XX or 41XX series, duplicate metallurgical properties of equivalent wrought steel. Just because a new commercial carbine has a milled receiver, doesn’t make it superior to a casting. In fact, if the receiver has not been forged from the billet before the machining, optimum physical propertied won’t be attained.
This being said, you can’t ignore the subsequent heat treatment, which provides the final strength properties. Unless the hardness range of parts, especially the receiver and bolt meet original USGI specs, it might be unsafe.
If you want to see a replica M1 carbine receiver, subject of this thread, see this website, a well known replica parts provider: www.riverbankarmory.com/parts1.html . Scroll about 1/3 down the page.
Correct spelling is ROCK-OLA, photo looks more like ROCX-OLA, and note the rough machining on the lower right of the slide surface. That font is even close to original, but on the other hand these are not real Rock-Ola products from 70 years ago. Wouldn’t be surprised if these Rocx-Ola’s had a cast bolt, hammer, and trigger housing.

Can I see actual photo of M1 carbine?
On the JRA site it indicates they are using "Rockola" as a brand for their reproduction firearms and as a tribute to Rock-Ola and other companies that converted to manufacture firearms during World War II.
The original M14 was produced after the war and not by Rock-Ola, so the JRA "Rockola M14F" is a nice reproduction but the Rockola aspect is branding and not history.
I have been waiting for this for some time now. I can't believe my eyes! Oh MY! I almost bought one last year but it was 18.5" and I wanted the original gi specs so I waited. Thank goodness! Both these rifles are beautiful. Must have both!
Wow. that was fast. Doesn't surprise me though.
How long before you get the M14F? =(
what accessories come with each rifle....
Should have another small shipment in a couple of weeks, i might even have one of the M21's coming too!
