Description:
U.S. M1 Carbine, .30 cal. military. Serial #4130079, mfg. by National Postal Meter. Good to very good condition. Standard issue to U.S. officers during World War II. Interesting specimen that appears to have been part of a Korean lend/lease agreement, judging from the Korean paint marks on the right side of the butt stock. This was the bigest reason for me purchasing this M1. I personally would never think of refinishing this stock. "History"
Very good price for a National Postal Meter, with markings and assessaries. Also I wold consider taking off $100 for me to keep the bayonet.
Parkerization is 93% with some barrel wear.Stock has "W" in the well and has war marks as expected of a gun in two wars! Sling/oilier included.

I took it shooting for the first time, it shoots wonderful and super accurate. I only shot around around 120 feet, and all in a quarter size. Also plinking apples on the ground as they are rolling i just kept those apple moving. Anyway a great shooter. Then once home it was cleaned.
