Got it all working, thanks again. Some of that old surplus ammo I have is getting a little corroded, so maybe time to pull that stuff down and reload with newer components. - dan

I had to do that with several hundred rounds. Got tired of squibs and duds.
Just saw a chiappa M1 all done up in a thumbhole synthetic stock, picatinney rails and a fake can in the Cabelas gun room in SW edmonton. . Looked pretty cool, actually. - dan

Saw a picture of a Howa built M1 Carbine today. Never even knew they made them. - dan
The majority of the Howas here were made for the Royal Thai Police, and have very few Howa markings beyond a proof stamp under the wood. They do have a large RTP crest stamped on them. I have one that might be leaving the country rather than being shredded. They're interesting because the cocking handle, bayonet lug, gas plug, and rear sight are not standard, everything else however, is - all GI parts will fit and work.

Might? If it's not already spoken for I know a Swiss collector who wants one - can connect you.

Probably generic mass email. I got one, was just these models are now prohibited.
Not ###x you got a registered m1 carbine ser #### is now prohibited.

Probably because you havent done a transfer with the new system so, so they dont got your email.
I bet it was still the same generic letter, that most of us got in a email.
Because I did not get a letter even with a registered M1 carbine. But got a email that these models are prohibited.
I got my letter today also. Not an email. It has the Registration cert number on it and states no longer valid along with make serial number and FIN number
Edit to add they have my valid email as has been used checked and verified multiple times for transfers with the new online system

Yup, got about 600rds of ammo, and nothing to shoot it with.
Supposedly, according to the BS letter, now can't take 'em out & shoot 'em. What a crock of chit.
Just how did they suddenly become so unsafe they can't even leave the house?
Lieberals getting 'tough' on crime..... what a f'in joke.
