The M1 Carbine, a legendary firearm of the past, is reborn in its 1944 iteration by Inland Manufacturing. This model stays faithful to the original design while being crafted right here in the USA. It embodies everything that made its predecessors renowned during their time—reliability, precision, and historical significance.
Chambered in .30 Carbine, this rifle features an 18-inch barrel with a twist rate of 1x20 inches. Its overall length stands at a compact yet commanding 35.75 inches, making it both maneuverable and effective for various shooting scenarios. The "low wood" walnut stock complements the weapon's aesthetics while providing durable functionality.
This version incorporates several key elements from wartime models such as adjustable rear sights for fine-tuning accuracy and a round bolt known for smooth cycling action. Additionally, it includes modern enhancements like a push-button safety system ensuring secure handling.
The Type 2 barrel band is another nod to history but does not include a bayonet lug—a feature that makes this carbine compliant with state regulations concerning magazine capacity and additional attachments. Speaking of magazines, it comes equipped with one holding ten rounds; sufficient firepower balanced by legal considerations.
Weighing in at just over five pounds (5 lb 3 oz), this carbine offers ease of carry without sacrificing stability or control when firing—a testament to thoughtful engineering aimed at delivering consistent performance on every shot fired.
