A long, LONG, time ago...
Willard asked me about installing a bayonet lug on an M1 carbine.
When we found out that the front sight needed pressed off we kind of forgot about it.
I stumbled across a pic of an early configuration M1 carbine with a 30-round magazine in it and it reminded me.
So I went out to see what it WOULD take to updated it to the late configuration that's mostly associated with Korea.
Front-barrel band and bayonet lug is $29.
Rear sight is $35.
The tools to remove and install the sights are $100.
Plus taxes and shipping.
Then there's the, mandatory, M4 bayonet: $150 to $900 depending on vintage and maker.
What amuses me about the project is how many people were converting their carbines from the later configuration to match the WW2 one.
