World War II Era U.S. QUALITY HARDWARE M1 Carbine C&R w/ 30-Round MAG
Equipped with “IBM” Barrel & CANVAS SLING / OILER
Here we present a C&R Quality Hardware U.S. M1 Carbine Semi-Automatic Rifle, manufactured in 1943 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, Quality Hardware manufactured 359,666, or about 5.9% of the total between 1943 and 1944. Quality Hardware M1 carbines are one of the more scarce contractor carbines made. 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.
Prior to World War II, U.S. Army Ordnance received many reports that the full-size M1 Garand was too heavy and cumbersome for most support troops, such as mortarmen and radiomen to carry. During prewar and early war field exercises, it was found that the M1 Garand impeded these soldiers' mobility, as a slung rifle would frequently catch on brush, bang the helmet and tilt it over the eyes. Many soldiers found the rifle slid off the shoulder unless slung diagonally across the back, where it prevented the wearing of standard field packs and haversacks. Additionally, Germany's use of glider-borne and paratroop forces to launch surprise ‘blitzkrieg’ attacks behind the front lines generated a request for a new compact infantry weapon to equip support troops. This request called for a compact, lightweight defensive weapon with greater range, accuracy and firepower than handguns, while weighing half as much as the Thompson submachine gun or the M1 rifle. The U.S. Army decided that a carbine would adequately fulfill these requirements and specified that the new arm should weigh no more than five pounds and have an effective range of 300 yards. Paratroopers were also added to the list of intended users and a folding-stock version would also be developed.
The overall condition is good. Robust action. Bright bore. Solid stock with a legible crossed cannons cartouche. Markings are sharp. Good canvas sling. This example has been arsenal refinished. Undated IBM barrel. 30 round magazine.
