Description:
Sale Pending !!

This IBM WWII Carbine, .30 Cal, Ser No 3721XXX was mfg abt 9/43. IBM contract w/the US Army procurement was one of thye smallest of all of the ordnance
manufacturer's of WWII. They were the last manufacturer to get into yhr Carbine production and yet got up to speed in only 30 days. They mfg only abt 358K  and
were very inovative in perfecting new mfg techniques that reduced costs. They also were the first to develop a new rifling procedure thatgreatly increased barrel
production. subsequenly they also become a supplier to other Carbine manufacturers.. They used a variety of  other parts from several  Wartime manufacturers..
This IBM Carbine features all the correct parts for this period. ( I use sed R. C. Larson's  book "M1 Carbine 2nd edition and Craig Riesch's 7th Edition for my references.)
This IBM Carbine contains these the  following component parts;
Receiver - T2 w/Tang & tubeless spring tunnel, Rear Sight - Flip[ w/"IN-B on L & "s" on right, Barrel - Long Skirt, "IBM Corp" (No Barrel Date), Front Sight - T2 & um,
