mgherb Posted November 17, 2017 Report Share Posted November 17, 2017 hello, like to know exactly what a registered m2 carbine consists of, as to what parts are included when buying a kit, and how the kit is marked when it is registered.do different kits all come with the same amount of parts or do some kits require additional parts to make up a complete functioning m2 carbine. thanks for any answers.don Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike in pa Posted November 18, 2017 Report Share Posted November 18, 2017 Registered M2 carbine kits can have the serial number on just about any part, This depended on who did the original registration. I have seen the following parts that were serial numbered: trip lever (common), sear, hammer, selector, disconnector, trigger housing, slide. These kits should be complete, for the most part. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Albert Posted November 23, 2017 Report Share Posted November 23, 2017 Here's an M2 summary that I wrote and posted on Machinegunboards, and the Carbine Club forum: There are many different M2 issues and types of NFA registered items. Here are the different iterations of M2 NFA variations/issues that contribute to the overall confusion on the subject: · "XD" serial numbered Inland M2 receivers that were never assembled as MG's (Contraband, unless registered during 1968 Amnesty) (There are also some other "X" prefixed M2's) · Originally marked M2's from Inland, and a potential few from Winchester (C&R) · M1 Receivers that were over-stamped "M2" at the factory, such as Winchester M2's (Should be C&R, but "muddy") · Various non-original M2 manufacturer M1's that have been overstamped "M2" as part of their non-original conversion (IBM, Rock-Ola, Saginaw, etc.) (Transferable, non-C&R) · Original manufacturer M1's (Inland and Winchester) that were overstamped "M2" as part of their non-original conversion (Circa1986 conversions in prep for Hughes Amendment) (Transferable, non-C&R) · 7-piece M2 parts sets, with serial numbers on various of the seven parts (Transferable, non-C&R) (Any one of the 7 parts has to be marked) · Registered trigger packs (Transferable, non-C&R) · Registered M2 slides (Transferable, non-C&R) · Universal, Plainfield, and Iver Johnson manufactured, commercial M2 Carbines (Transferable, Some will soon be C&R) · Other commercial manufacturer M1 Carbines that were converted, some of which were overstamped "M2," and some that were not (Transferable, non-C&R) · Pre-May 1986 Dealer Samples (Not transferable, not C&R) · Post-May 1986 Dealer Samples (Not transferable, not C&R) Thanks!

GUNBUGS Posted November 29, 2017 Report Share Posted November 29, 2017 The Broadhead Armory M-2 conversion kit I have has a serial numbered connector lever,(trip lever). It was a good investment 3 years ago. I think the little M-2's are under appreciated. They are a hoot to shoot. The trick is to keep them well lubed, and shoot good ammo. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
