The serial number 3856367 aligns with production in late 1943, as Auto-Ordnance’s M1 Carbine serial numbers in the 3,800,000 range correspond to this period. Introduced in 1942, the M1 Carbine was a lightweight, semi-automatic rifle designed for U.S. military support personnel, paratroopers, and officers during World War II. Auto-Ordnance, known for the Thompson submachine gun, was one of ten manufacturers contracted to produce M1 Carbines, with IBM supplying barrels to meet wartime demand. This example, bearing an import mark, likely returned to the U.S. post-war, possibly from a foreign military surplus. Its historical significance lies in its role as a versatile WWII firearm, widely used in combat and later in civilian hands for hunting and sport shooting. The .30 Carbine cartridge offers a balance of low recoil and effective range for small to medium game. This carbine is in very fine condition as a post-war rebuild, with an excellent bore and flawless mechanics, ensuring reliable performance. The stock shows bruises and impressions consistent with period use, adding character without compromising function. The 18" IBM barrel, dated "12-43," and the "AO" marked receiver are correctly paired for the era. The import mark, likely from post-war re-importation, is noted on the barrel. All markings remain clear and legible. Don’t miss your chance to own this well-preserved piece of WWII history, a rare Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine with IBM barrel.
