U.S. M1 Carbine by Rock-Ola
serial #4588635, 30 Carbine, 18'' Rock-Ola barrel with some light pitting at the muzzle in an otherwise bright excellent bore. The metal surfaces retain about 90% arsenal Parkerized finish, the greatest loss on the Type III barrel band and flat bolt which has been lightly cleaned to a pewter patina showing light pitting on the barrel band, the balance with light wear on high edges and contact points and areas toning to brown. The high-wood I-cut walnut stock and 2-rivet handguard are in very good condition as lightly cleaned and refinished with a few scattered dings and light handling marks, most softened by time, and a near-invisible hairline 5/8'' crack at the rear of the recoil plate. A faint ''RMC'' is visible in the sling cut, the underside of the handguard similarly marked, and the stock is otherwise unmarked. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and crisp, the barrel band is Inland-marked and the recoil shield Winchester-made, and the remaining marked parts all appear to Rock-Ola or relevant subcontractor made. The carbine features a milled adjustable rear sight, flat bolt, button safety, and a Type III barrel band with bayonet lug. Included is an IU-marked 15-round magazine, oiler, and canvas sling. Rock-Ola carbines comprised only about 4% of all M1 Carbine production. (14A11700-15) {C&R} (1000/1500)
