World War II U.S. ROCK-OLA M1 Carbine SUPPORT TROOP Light Rifle C&R WWII
SCARCE Semi-Automatic CARBINE!
Here we present a C&R Rock-Ola U.S. M1 Carbine Semi-Automatic Rifle, manufactured in May of 1944 in Chicago, Illinois. This .30 caliber semi-automatic rifle was first used by the United States Armed Forces on October 22, 1941. Of the 6,110,730 carbines made of all types built during the war, Rock-Ola manufactured 228,500, or about 3.7% of the total between 1942 and 1944. Rock-Ola M1 carbines and were the scarcest contractor carbines made. The Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation was a top maker of jukeboxes. The company, which originally made slot machines, scales and pinball machines, was founded in 1927 by Coin-Op pioneer David Cullen Rockola. The relative rarity and the distinctive name increase the popularity and value of Rock-Ola carbines.
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.
