Description:
WORLD WAR II Era U.S. INLAND M1 Carbine SEMI-AUTOMATIC Light Rifle WWII C&R
With MAGAZINE POUCH, EXTRA MAG,SLING and OILER
Here we present a C&R U.S. Inland M1 Carbine Semi-Automatic Rifle, manufactured in 1943 at the Inland Division of General Motors in Dayton, Ohio. This .30 caliber semi-automatic rifle was first used by the United States Armed Forces on October 22, 1941, and Inland Division was the first of 10 manufacturers to receive an order two months later in November of 1941 and was one of the only two still producing carbines when the war ended in 1945. Of the 6,110,730 carbines made of all types built during the war, Inland made 2,625,000, or 43% of the total. This M1 Carbine had the receiver subcontracted by Saginaw for Inland as part of their first production block in the 100-999999 serial number range. 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.
Also included is a "WALTER L. ALLEN/1943" marked dual cell magazine pouch, an extra "IA" blued magazine, asling, and a metal oiler.
