My Grandpa had an Eagle Carbine. Looks just like yours and in as good a shape or better. That da**ed thing looked brand new. Grandma has it now that he's passed away and asked if I wanted to buy it (my family...only people I know who pass down family heirlooms by selling them). I think the price was going to be around $1K or so, but I turned it down. She still has it and I doubt it's going anywhere outside the family.

Supposedly they were made in very low numbers because the Eagle factory burned down shortly after they started making them. All of their records were lost and that might be why ATF never listed (this is speculation on my part). Don't know if that's true or not, but apparently that's what Grandpa had always told my dad. I don't remember him telling me that info, but I remember as a kid not being too much interested in the gun because "it's not really a machine gun". Makes me chuckle.

Nice find, Ajax.
