Product Description

World War II U.S. INLAND M1 Carbine with Folding Wire Stock .30 WW2 C&R

With Box, Provenance & Full Wood Stock, 3 Mags

Here we present a U.S. M1 Carbine, manufactured in 1944 by Inland. This .30 caliber semi-automatic carbine was first used by the United States Armed Forces on October 22, 1941. Despite having a similar name and appearance, the M1 Carbine is not a carbine version of the M1 Garand rifle. They are different firearms and use different ammunition.

The M1 carbine was also one of the most cost-effective weapons used by the United States military during World War II. At the beginning of World War II, the average production cost for an M1 carbine was approximately $45, about half the cost of an M1 rifle at approximately $85 and about a fifth of the cost of a Thompson submachine gun at approximately $225. The .30 Caliber carbine ammunition was also far cheaper to produce than the standard .30-06 ammunition; used fewer resources, was smaller, lighter, faster and easier to make. These were major factors in the United States military decision to adopt the M1 carbine, especially when considering the large numbers of weapons and ammunition manufactured and transported by the United States during World War II.

The overall condition is very good. Armory finish. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with sharp rifling. Both stocks are in great shape. This piece comes with 3 magazines altogether, the original shipping box from Rock Island Armory, the order form (matches the name on the box), the folding wire stock and the solid stock.
