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 what many argue to be the worst cartridge ever devised, 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 any target the rifleman aimed at out to at least 85 yards (from personal experience with my own M1) without having to adjust the rear sight to compensate for distance. The M1 shown above was built by Winchester between September of 1942 and February of 1944. At some point, the rifle went through a rebuild, and later, the stock appears to have been refinished. The gun is almost all Winchester parts. The only parts I can confirm are non-Winchester manufacture are the rear sight, the Type 3 Barrel-band/Bayonet Lug and the hammer. The rear sight and band/bayonet lug were built by Inland (marked H.I. in a shield on the former and S.I. on the latter) and the hammer by Rock-Ola (marked LT-R). The stock was made postwar by Springfield Armory (the Gov’t Arsenal not the current mfg.) and is marked inside as such (S.A.). The bore is in fine condition and is very clear when a light is shown through it. There are three magazines – two 15-round and one 30-round. Ammo includes five 50-round boxes and 41 loose rounds. All are Winchester manufacture. Please note the ammo will have to be shipped separately and will require a separate shipping charge.
