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. As a combat cartridge, 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 level of accuracy achieved regularly was very high. Post-war, many brand new M1 carbines were made by different manufacturers such as E.F.M. and Plainfield. The example shown here is one of the more recent Auto-Ordnance rifles. While the E.F.M. and Plainfield rifles sometimes made use of left-over parts from World War 2, the Auto-Ordnance rifles are made from scratch using modern machinery and higher-quality materials. The rifle shown here is in excellent shape and appears to have seen little use. There is a small scratch in the finish of the barrel band. The left side of the stock has a few rough spots. Otherwise, the stock is in fine shape. The 30-round magazine exhibits a few scratches on the right-hand side. The rear sight is a two-position (flip) peep sight. This is more durable than the fully-adjustable type, but the slot in the receiver remains the same, so replacement with a more original style sight is possible. There is a slight streak of wear in the Parkerized finish on the slide just in front of the charging handle. Of course, there is some light wear of the bolt and receiver where the two parts interact with each other during operation of the M1. The bore is in superb shape with no rust or pitting present. Still, overall condition of the finish is between 95 and 98 percent. There is no box, just the rifle, a manual, and three magazines. There are two 30-round curved magazines and one 15-round straight magazine.
