Took a trip to the NC History Museum today. Had a good exhibit on military arms (nothing close to the Smithsonian but ok).

They imported Carbine Williams' workshop and have the rifles he built while in prision.

Interestingly there was a Garand and Carbine that did not have markings on the receiver. Normally, I would chalk it up to a non-firing display/dummy but the Garand had the following Winchester parts: flush nut rear sight, op rod, numbered gas cylinder, and bolt. It also had early milled rear clip latch and stock ferrule. No pictures.

Why make a display using some REALLY expensive parts?

They had ~8 Garands in various exhibits, 3 Carbines (1 paratrooper), 1 BAR, 1 1928 Thompson, 1 Type 99 MG, 1 Arisaka, 1 MG-08 Maxim, and many pre 1865 muskets & rifled muskets. Also quite a few weapons from Vietnam, both US and VC.
