Description:
Designed to replace the M1911A1 as an issue weapon for second line and rear-area troops, the M1 carbine was designed with the goal of being lighter than the M1903 Springfield, M1 Garand, and M1A1 Thompson, while providing more firepower than the M1911A1. For all intents and purposes. This goal was reached, but at a price. The M1 Carbine utilized the .30 Carbine round which had been based on the .32 Winchester Self-Loading (32 WSL). That round had been designed for hunting but proved to be underpowered for deer and too large for varmint hunting. In basing the .30 Carbine on this round, Winchester produced a round that was adequate for the task required. At roughly 40,000 Psi, the round was effective out to, at most, 200 yards. On the positive side, the .30 carbine is in the same class as the 357 Magnum. Despite the original intentions behind the M1, the rifle went on to be issued many US Army personnel, even those serving on the frontlines. A folding stock version, the M1A1, was most famously used by the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions during their campaigns which took them from Italy (82nd) to France, Belgium, and finally, into Germany. Despite occasional criticisms for lack of firepower past 200 yards, the M1 carbine was well-liked for its light weight and generous (at the time) magazine capacity of 15 rounds. The sights were easy to use, and the rifle would hit anything the rifleman aimed at out to at least 85 yards (from personal experience with my one M1) without having to adjust the rear sight to compensate for distance. The M1 shown above was built by the Inland Division of General Motors in 1943. It looks to be in fantastic condition considering its age. As with all paratrooper carbines, the forend exhibits small dents from the buttstock when in the folded position. These dents can be steamed out. The rifle comes with an original carry bag produced by Atlas Awning in 1943. This was the only company to produce these bags. There is one 15-round magazine.
