I also have a post War Hornet Carbine. Three years 47, 48 and 49, three calibers 250/3000, 257, and 22 Hornet and three different actions PreWar, Transition and PostWar.

I collect Transition Era guns because when my dad got out of the Army in 47 he ordered a M70 but they were so hard to get that he did't get one till late 49. So when he ordered it he was ordering a PreWar and ended up with a PostWar.
