Wear on both metal and wood is what the seller promises in this Inland Division M1 Carbine, and the photos are meant to show it. The condition is called good for its age. It is a used semi-automatic rifle in .30 Carbine with an 18 inch barrel, a 15 round capacity and a finish of wood and blued steel.

Inland Division of General Motors made more M1 Carbines than any other contractor in World War II, so a carbine from them is the most common sort of collectible. That is a point in its favor for a buyer who wants an affordable piece with a real chain of history. Parts have often been swapped during arsenal rebuilds, so look at the markings and not just the name on the receiver.

The M1 Carbine is a pleasure to shoot. It is light, the recoil is mild, and the controls are simple. It will serve on a farm or in a truck, and it fits shooters of any size.

Study the photos before ordering, then inspect the rifle when it arrives. It is sold as described. It ships to a licensed dealer you choose, and the background check takes place there.
