Scarce WORLD WAR II U.S. IBM M1 Carbine .30 SEMI-AUTO Light Rifle WWII C&R
INTERNATION BUSINESS MACHINES of Poughkeepsie, NY
Here we present a C&R IBM Semi-Automatic U.S. M1 Carbine that was manufactured as part of the only production block by International Business Machines between August 1943 to May 1944 in the 3651520-4009999 serial number range in Poughkeepsie, New York. 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, IBM manufactured 346,500, or 5.6% of the total during its production run. 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.
