I'm looking to buy a paratrooper M1 that has a Type 2 stock (low wood, RI/3 on butt of pistol grip and crossed cannons on right side of pistol grip). The manufacturer's date for the Inland barrel is 1-44. The serial number of the gun is Inland 4957xxx. Is that in the range to be a honest to goodness Paratrooper?
Thanks. Any comments would be welcome.
