As thoroughly detailed in the DIY area in the Armory section. I just completed another dozen carbine conversions where I take the fun little CYMA / UK Arms M2 carbines and redo them to more accurately represent a WW2 military issue carbine. First I check them for function (often these come needing slight tweaks to barrel alignment and need a little TLC to get them functioning optimally. Then I shorten the magazine to the correct WW2 box magazine length. I sand and refinish the stocks for a more convincing faux wood, remove the bayonet lug and replace the post war rear site with a period correct looking peep site. Doing them in mass (12 at a time) reduces my time investment per gun and helps control costs a bit but each still requires about 2 1/2 to 3 hours labor.
Free shipping is limited to the continental US. 3 spare magazines are available for $45.00 and other accessories (slings, stock pouches, simulated oilers, muzzle covers etc are on hand as well. pM me for current pictures and further information.

Sold out. Plan to get a replacement dozen of these little Springer Carbines but kind of got spoiled by that brief window when they were selling so cheap. Seems like they are consistently back around $45.00 and more. Truthfully even at that they remain a bargain from my perspective. Wish they did a pure WW2 version and especially if they offered an A1 version!
I have probably now bought and converted 60 of them and while several required a little TLC to eliminate a few simple IQ issues I have only had one break and that was one I torture tested with a heavier spring. I'm still a huge fan of these little carbine. Perfect loaner weapons! None better!
