U.S. M1 Carbine by Inland Division
serial #171829, 30 Carbine, 18'' Inland barrel dated ''12-42'' with an excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 90% thinning parkerized finish with light to perhaps more moderate wear on the high edges and contact points, the barrel band and trigger guard are more a light brown patina, and there are some scattered light handling marks and some specks of light surface oxidation throughout. The low-wood walnut stock is near excellent as cleaned with only a few minor handling marks. The circled ''P'' firing proof is faintly visible on the base of the pistolgrip and there is a partial ''*U*'' on the left side of the butt near the wrist and ''M-U' in the sling cut. The 4-rivet handguard is in similar condition and is ''IO'' marked. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and crisp, and the small parts are from a mix of contractors. The carbine features a rotary safety, flat bolt, stamped adjustable rear sight, and Type III barrel band with bayonet lug. A canvas GI sling and oiler and two faded and oxidation stained 15 round magazines are included, one ''IU'' marked, the other ''IA''. This is a nice M1 carbine for the collector or shooter.
