Photos of my first M1 Carbine

[Banjo1928]

I have attached the photos of my first M1 Carbine. As I said in a previous post it is an import and as such was more in my price range and looked like it would be a good shooter. I can just make out the paint from the rack number and I believe it was used in Korea either in the war or as part of the large number of carbines that were sent over in the 60s I believe.

Inland44 commented that Arlington Ordnance imported most of theirs from Israel (import mark is very hard to read but under magnification it is the top edge of ARL ORD ARLINGTON VA). If any see anything unusual about it I’d be very interested in your comments. The trigger housing is stamped but did not look like the photo’s I’d seen of other stamped ones. It has no markings that I can see other than the flaming bomb on the bottom of the trigger guard.

Most parts have some mark but several do not. It shoots great, the 15 round magazine is marked with a “U” but the seller said it was a Korean reproduction.

Again I’d be interested in all comments I know as a 1943 Inland having gone through an arsenal rebuild it is not rare and exotic compared to some others but I’m very happy with it.
