U.S. M1 Carbine By IBM Corporation
serial #3784484, 30 Carbine, 18'' Inland Division barrel with a bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 95% arsenal reapplied gray-green Parkerized finish with light wear on the high edges and contact points, a few spots of mild oxidation, and some light handling marks. The low-wood I-cut walnut stock and 2-rivet handguard are in very good condition with smoothed over light abrasions around the stock nose, an arsenal pin-repair ahead of the magazine well, and some light dings and handling marks scattered throughout. The stock shows evidence of having been converted from high to low-wood configuration, as so often was the case, and is crisply marked ''RMC'' in the sling cut with a ''.U.'' rework mark to the rear of the pistolgrip on the left side, and a near invisible Ordnance Wheel present on the right; the handguard markings is faded and largely illegible, showing what appears to be a ''B'', amongst other indecipherable characters. The receiver markings are intact, those over the chamber somewhat light, the barrel markings are crisp, and the small parts are marked for a variety of contractors including Underwood, Inland, and Saginaw. The carbine features a stamped adjustable rear sight, flat bolt, rotary safety, Type V magazine catch, and Type III barrel band with bayonet lug. Included is an aftermarket 5-round magazine. A solid arsenal refurbished carbine from a manufacturer who's innovations sped up production. (14A11672-6) {C&R} (1000/1500)
