National Ordnance made M1 Carbines in the postwar years, and the seller lists this one as made in 1962. The carbine is a semi-automatic in .30 Carbine with an 18 inch barrel, a ten round magazine, and a black finish on a wood stock.

The seller notes a bright, shiny bore, a leather strap, and good condition. That bore note matters on a carbine, since a clean barrel is a key to accuracy at the range.

Check the action, the sights, and the stock for cracks. A postwar M1 Carbine is a handy, light rifle for a collector who wants to shoot. At just under a thousand dollars it is a fair price for a clean example.

This rifle is used and sold as described, so read the details and look over every photo before you order. It ships to a licensed dealer (FFL) of your choice, and the background check is done there when you pick it up. Ask us about fit, wear or what comes with it before you order. Keep a light coat of oil on the metal and store it somewhere dry.
