1. Rebuild magazine.
2. Buy M1 carbine
3. Use legitimately found, rebuilt, hi-capacity magazine.
4. Lather, rinse, repeat.
5. Enjoy.

Yes it's a late-model Universal M1 Carbine. Previous owner probably threw it away in disgust.

I sir, take offense to that, as I have a Universal M1 carbine........................................... .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .................................................. .........hahahahahaah kidding, yea the thing is a jam-o-matic, can never get the thing to run more than a few rounds at a time. Havent shot it in a few years because of that. To all you other guys who know about these things, is there anything that can be done to then to make them run more reliably?

[Solidsnake87]

Sweet! See if it can be restored!

I found a few beater rifles buried on my property a while back but I turned them into the police.

[smle-man]

My guess is that the previous owner figured the police would never look for the murder weapon where he buried it. A rototiller never figured into his plans.

do you have access to a metal detector?
you may find an entire cache of weapons...

[rojocorsa]

Really cool and interesting archaeology.

If the original owner had coated it with Cosmoline (Cosmoline is our friend) the the op would have a perfectly preserved jam-o-matic.

hopefully its not a murder weapon

[xxdabroxx]

You should definitely make a lamp out of it. Or a walking stick, or something cool. Then post pictures.

One has to ponder why it was burried there in the first place.

[Purple K]

Reminds me of the shotgun that I found in the attick of my new house....
