    This is so. A couple of high profile crimes using the M1 put them on the Lib radar.

    Ron Basford was justice minister when c51 was passed.

    I bought my first one from ABC sports on Yonge St in Toronto just prior to that having paid the princely sum of $125.00 and then proceeding homeward on the subway with it covered in wrapping paper.

    They were staunch to the end against odds uncounted;
    They fell with their faces to the foe.

    They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
    Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
    At the going down of the sun and in the morning
    We will remember them."

    This one from Auto Ordinance is really nice. The stock is well done in Walnut. I have a question for North Silva. Maybe this betrays my ignorance since it's been so long since I bought a gun with wood on it. The wood seems fairly dry. Am I right in assuming I should be putting some Tung or Linseed oil on it?
    get some double boiled linseed oil from crappy tire and should do nicely.

    Thanks for the reminder guys. I noticed my stock was very dry. I will get out the linseed oil.
    If your ad in the EE is for an item that is sold, do us all a favour and mark the header PLS REMOVE.

    I just got back from the range with my new Auto Ordinance M1 Carbine. A sweet shooter! I think this one will be my truck gun. The 5 round mag that comes with it worked without problems. The aftermarket 5/30s from Ellwood Epps had chronic feed problems. Other than that it was accurate, nicely balanced and just plain fun. I put a few coats of Tung oil (with drying agents) on the walnut stock. Looks great!

    Are the Auto Ordnance m1 parts interchangeable with original WWII m1 carbine?

    You might try "Linspeed" oil rather than linseed. It works faster and seems to be a little more durable.

    I own both. I switched receivers and trigger mechanisms back and forth.

    The answer is "Yes".
