Lol all I know is I wanted an M1 carbine for a long time!
I can relate as well...
I'm still looking for a M1 carbine bayonet. I've got 3 M1 Garand bayonets 2 WW2 vintage and post WW2 one that was issued to a friend who passed away.

What mfr for that carbine? IBM, Rock-ola, SG, SP, QH, Winchester, Underwood? Just curious. I picked up a CMP Rock-ola years ago and restored it with all Rock-ola parts.

Beyond that, probably the refrigerator in the back. NO WAY I'll go back to a cooler after living with this.
I wonder why the hell I waited so long to get one,. and thinking about getting a second one now too.

Some beautiful pieces of history there, that's for sure! We should set up a range day for Jeeps to meet at the CMP.

The one I just got is an IBM. Q1 1944 production. As far as I can tell its all original parts, never made it back to an arsenal to be refurbed.

Have you completely disassembled it? Each part has mark, even if it’s just a single letter stamp—most armorers mixed and matched them. If it’s one that came back from DoD loaner programs to ROK or Italy it might not be all one make. This book has histories and markings for every make and part. War Baby! The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Vol. 1 https://www.amazon.com/dp/0889351171/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_fabc_5848XX90NVH9VWA9XY2H

Holy hell!! I paid half that price when I bought it.

I have full disassembled it. All marks make sense for original. IBM didnt make all the components, but all the marks are suppliers that would have came on IBM guns. It did just come back into the country from Italy.

Ok so technically it does meet your definition of "mod" but my 2 favorite that now that I have them I cant live without are
1) the tires and rims. The willy's package tires were way to skinny and aggressive for highway driving. It felt like I was driving over rumble strips at low speeds. The new Cooper's even though they are wider, are 10x smoother and look great with the offset rims which make them stick out just a tad.
The 2nd as stupid as it may be, I use daily and don't think I could live without now. The Pro phone holder. I don't have nav installed so I constantly need to plug in my phone to use maps and this puts it right next to the radio and at eye level for incoming calls. Totally worth the $20 and it only took 15 mins to install.

I just ordered that same phone mount. It was on sale for $12 for Amazon Prime Day.

Without question it's the ArmorLite floor. Love that it's so easy to clean and deal with water but as an added benefit the cab is noticeably quieter.
Man, Thank you!
Makes me very happy to see people enjoying our product. That is what it is all about.

As of now, LED upgrades. Oracle Oculus headlights, and OEM LED fogs and fender/DRL's. Night and day difference from the stockers.
