I ordered one from Marstar, still waiting on transfer. Hopefully itst in decent shape. I ordered a Wolff spring kit and a Picatinny rail to replace handguard. I'm planning to put a red dot on it.

Did you order an Ultikmak? If so where did you order it from?
 
Numrich has them in stock. They also have a spring kit from another company. Not sure what the difference between the two is.
 
I bought one back in October, great barrel condition, stock looked like ####. After a couple of days stripping and sanding the wood it finally looks presentable. 2 weeks ago I installed an Ultimak scope mount that I got from Brownells and mounted an older Tasco Red Dot. Since its winter I've only run it indoors at 25 meters with both FMJ & cast lead bullets and with KCI mags it runs flawlessly. My winter project is loading 1,000 cast bullets hopefully for 3 gun matches in the spring.

Nice! I want to use it for 3 gun as well!

I'm debating between a holosun and an eotech.

I have seen photos of Israeli tourist guides , both male and female with M1 carbines , though with original wooden stock and magazines in the buttstock mag pouch, as they aren’t allowed to have a magazine in their weapons

When I was in Israel in the late '70's, the number of civies carrying M1 Carbines was mind boggling. The US must have given them plain loads full of carbines.

I'm using the Tasco for now until I can get outside and do some more testing. Not worth it to buy big now when I can only shoot indoors. I am lucky though in the fact the local indoor range rents guns. One of those is an M1 Carbine, I get first dibbs on all brass recovered.
 
Lucky. Cause brass aint that easy to find anymore Or its close to 50 cents a casing new so you might as well buy S&B factory and get more bang for your buck :) I'm busy this weekend processing approx 500 casings.It ain't a fun time but doable if you take breaks. Sorry for this intermission. Jim. out.

Yeah... I usually buy a few hundred rounds new and then reload thereafter.

I bought a bunch of Starline for my revolvers.
 
I have a set of revolvers with sequential numbers that have never been fired. And I'm too scared as an investor. .30 carbine Rugers of course

I just finished processing 1,186 casings. S&B Brass is very nice to work with. I couldn't find any CamPro 110 fmj bullets so I've bought 1,500 100 grain .309" bullets from a caster/dealer in Stettler Alberta, really good quality. Should have everything loaded by the end of the mouth.
