I was shooting to 100yds & the carbine was shooting a bit high.
The handguard began popping off after every shot, so I put it away before I had a chance to make the sight adjustments.
It was grouping minute-of-man.

Re: Rock On with Rock Ola!
Looks pretty original by the marks you photographed. And looks to be in excellent condition too.

Re: Rock On with Rock Ola!
The Rock-ola carbine is one of the most desireable because it was produced in the smallest numbers, only 228,500 (3.7%) out of 6.2 million.
I really wish I had one of these rifles......sigh.....
And Rock-ola made some of the best juke boxes ever.

Re: Rock On with Rock Ola!
It sure does look nice, but that is Quality Hardware stock rather than a Rockola. It was made for Quality Hardware by Rockola.
