In 1938, the Chief of Infantry requested that the Ordnance Department develop a "light rifle" or carbine, though the formal requirement for the weapon type was not approved until 1940. Limited quantities! Please note that all firearms are importer marked in order to company with the law! Please watch this video where we apply the markings We have every version ever made of this fantastic piece of history. We have rifles with bayonet lug and type 2 rear sights. They must have been made after spring of 1944. We have early rifles with the type 2 rear sight installed and no bayonet lug. Learning all this is to us so interesting. Inland and Winchester continued manufacturing the rifles as the prime contractors. We also leaned that all manufacturers except Inland and Winchester seized production in spring of 1944.
We also leaned that carbines with the adjustable type 2 rear sight might have been upgraded after 1945 and shipped to Ethiopia after 1947. We learned from our customers that the early M1 carbines are indeed 100% original and not rebuild. We have however checked many and they have been surprisingly nice. We never make any promises as to bore condition on surplus items. With any surplus item you can expect some dings, dents, chips, scratches, cracks, gouges, bluing wear, etc. Our goal is 100% customer satisfaction & we thank you for your business.Ĭlick here to see our M1 Carbine Canvas Rifle Bags: Ĭlick here to see our M1 Carbine Canvas Magazine Pouches: Ĭlick here to see our M1 Carbine Slings: Please call for availability and manufacturer’s available for each condition.
