M1 carbine barrel band screw

[bnew]

Hi, finally putting together my Underwood. I have an early type II front barrel band(original). But I cant find my screw for it. I know they make a repop. I also see somone on ebay has; what I believe are NOS ones. Are they different. Ebay scares me because the person said they are in France.
thanks, Bill

The gentlemen in France has many original carbine parts and has a good reputation. I have not had any dealings with him but have talked with others that have and they have been very satisfied.

We supplied the Free French Army with tons of M-1 Carbines and carbine parts during the war and afterwards-so it is not in the least surprising that that a Frenchman has some of those surplus Carbine parts for sale now.

If you're in the states http://www.gunpartscorp.com/Manufacturers/USMilitary-33541/Rifles-42386/M1Carbine-40100/PartsList-37101.htm?page=4

just buy a n.o.s. and take the screw off. Plus, you get some spare bits.
