Description:
1943 mfr. WORLD WAR II M1 .30 Carbine US UNDERWOOD TYPEWRITER CO Rifle WW2

FLAMING BOMB Marked withSLING & OILER

Here we present an Underwood U.S. M1 Carbine, manufactured in 1943 at the Underwood Typewriter Company of New York City. 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, Underwood manufactured 545,616, or 9% of the total between 1942 and 1944. Despite having similar name and appearance, the M1 Carbine is not a carbine version of the M1 Garand rifle. They are different firearms and use different ammunition.

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.

The overall condition is fine. Armory refurbished. The action is excellent. The bore is shiny bright with strong rifling. The walnut stock is in great shape with a circle “U” visible under the sling on the left side of the buttstock.
