Item Description: Translate description
serial #65326, 30 Carbine, 18'' 12-42 dated Inland barrel with a bright excellent bore. Designed as a more compact and portable weapon for airborne forces, production of the M1A1 carbine began in late October 1942. With carbines being grabbed to fill the contract as needed, serial number ranges are only approximate, with the first production run being found between 50,000 and 950,000 and this fine example falling neatly within that range. The metal surfaces retain 97-98% excellent arsenal reapplied gray Parkerized finish with light silvering on high edges and contact points, minor toning of the receiver to brown under bright light, and scattered spots of previous pinprick pitting beneath the finish primarily along the barrel. The high-wood walnut stock and 2-rivet handguard are in near excellent condition with a small arsenal quality repair to the left woodline, easily missed upon first examination, a pair of small neatly repaired dings just below the right woodline, and a few scattered light handling marks including from contact with the folding buttplate. The steel wire stock is in excellent condition and retains nearly all its Parkerized finish with only a couple minor handling marks or specks of discoloration, the leather cheekpiece aged to the expected dark brown and with flush Parkerized steel rivets, and the folding buttplate shows the proper cast-in drawing number. The stock shows a crisp circled ''P'' below the recoil plate, correct for this vintage of paratrooper carbine, strong ''OI'' and Ordnance Wheel stamped on the bottom of the pistolgrip, and both stock and handguard are internally stamped ''OI''. The receiver and barrel markings remain clear and all parts appear to show correct Inland contractor markings. The carbine features the early checkered button safety, serrated magazine catch, flat bolt, two-position aperture rear sight, and Type I barrel band. Included is a 15-round IA-marked magazine showing only some scattered light handling marks. A truly lovely example of an early production M1A1 Paratrooper carbine. (14D12005-2) {C&R} (4000/6000)
