Can anyone vouch for Fulton Armory M1 Carbine parts?

Trying to find a good quality affordable Type-1 Barrel Band reproduction. Going to have a carbine soon and want to replace the Type-2 band on it.

I don't know about their M1 carbine stuff specifically but their M14s and M1 Garands are above the rest, their quality is top notch.

Sounds like I should go for it then. Not too pleased at the added shipping cost being a full half the cost of the part itself, though.

I would get on the CMP forum and go for an original from a reputable seller on there.

That would be extremely rare and extremely expensive. Most were scrapped. What’s online are around $300 usually. Lowest I’ve seen was $160

Lord yes. Fulton Armory is 100% gtg. 100%


Was a time Clint would answer the phone himself; sadly, he has passed on. What a loss. https://www.fulton-armory.com/in-memoriam.aspx

I have several. Did not know there were so rare.
Just been keeping them in my parts box for replacement and refurb of M1's
The ones from GunParts are close copy. Just need to work on finish some.

I’ve ordered plenty from gunpartscorp/numrich. They’re reputable, however with any new production/repro it may require slight hand fitting. However, I think you’ll be fine

Wow, that's a blast from the past. Other than prices, I don't think the web site has change since the first time I saw it in the mid '90s.

They only have originals for a couple hundred dollars unfortunately. No repros listed

 

[Mr.Gadget]

I would not mess with them. They have sold several fake parts over the years.
