WINCHESTER ~ M1 CARBINE ~ .30 CAL

Description:
The M1 Carbine was, arguably, one of the most controversial and successful firearms of WWII. They were loved for their light weight, nimble size, high capacity detachable magazine, and ease of use. They were controversial due to the low power cartridge they chambered. The rifle gave rear echelon troops a weapon that had a 150-yard range, and was easy to learn to shoot. Both exceeded the 1911 capability. People who didn't like the Carbine tended to compare it to the hugely more powerful M1 Garand. That gun made the M1 Carbine look like a pipsqueak. This one is in great condition. The serial number traces to 1945. The rear sight appears to be an early-war Type 1, and the barrel has no manufacturer stamp. .30 Carbine
