Proudly made in the United States, the Inland M1 Carbine is a faithful reproduction of the original rifle that American forces carried from the Second World War through the Vietnam era. This is a new, current-production rifle in .30 Carbine with an 18-inch barrel, a walnut stock, and a 15-round magazine. It weighs 5.2 pounds.

The seller notes the adjustable rear sight, the entirely American make, and the bayonet lug that keeps with the original design. Those details are for people who want the look of the military carbine without paying for an original. A new rifle also removes the guesswork about wear and parts that come with a surplus gun.

The M1 Carbine is a light, quick-handling rifle, and it suits shooters of all sizes. The .30 Carbine cartridge has mild recoil and a flat enough path for short distances. It is a good choice for a truck gun or a first rifle with a historic feel.

When it arrives, inspect the walnut, the sight, and the finish. Fire a couple of boxes to break in the action, and check the zero. The rifle ships to your local FFL dealer, where the background check is completed.
