Rare U.S. M1 Carbine – Inland Division (1944) – Winchester Barrel – Original Sling & M.A.C. Ammo Pouch

Description:
This is a scarce and highly collectible WWII U.S. M1 Carbine, manufactured by the Inland Division of General Motors in mid-to-late 1944. This example features a desirable combination of authentic wartime components and standout presentation, including a Winchester-marked barrel, rare subcontractor parts, and original period accessories.

 Key Features:
 

• Receiver: Inland Division, GM – Serial 531xxxx
• Barrel: Stamped “W” with ordnance proof – produced by Winchester, a premium variation
• Hammer: Marked “QU” – from Quality Hardware, a low-volume WWII contractor
• Safety: Rotary style, marked “JAO”
• Trigger Housing: Marked HSA D-71618xx-7 – High Standard
• Sling: Original GI canvas sling
• Ammo Pouch: Original M.A.C.-marked dual-magazine pouch, mounted on buttstock

Just recently cleaned of long-stored cosmoline, this carbine now displays beautifully. The wood shows warm patina and tight fitment, while the metal surfaces retain a clean, even finish. All parts are authentic U.S. military contract components, assembled in a historically accurate wartime/postwar configuration.

The included original sling and M.A.C.-marked ammo pouch (Mount Vernon Arsenal – a known WWII pouch contractor) further elevate this example, making it ideal for display, reenactment, or collection.


 Condition:

• Action: Smooth and fully functional
• Wood: Solid, with minor handling wear consistent with military use
• Finish: Even parkerized finish, cleaned of cosmoline and ready to display
• Accessories: Sling and ammo pouch included and properly mounted

This M1 Carbine is not only a functional piece of WWII history — it’s a rare, complete, and well-preserved example with features that are getting harder to find. Perfect for collectors who want an honest and historically significant U.S. service rifle with exceptional visual appeal and desirable components.
