This 1943 manufactured Inland M1 carbine graced through our fingertips by way of our CGV relocation plan, and impressed us with its ability to ring steel at medium ranges, and function even after 70 years without any oil and a "mushed" out return spring.
This lightweight WW2 rifle was originally intended for secondary troops that carried supplies and was designed so that the military could cut down on training time that would be required for the 1911 pistol.
Designed in 1938, the M1 uses a medium caliber cartridge and was long thought to be somewhat anemic and by comparison to the full powered 30-06 round being fired by the M1 Garand, it was.....but don't be fooled.
The troops loved them for their handy nature and hard hitting power inside 100 yards. The ballistics generated by this little straightwalled case and its 110 grain projectile moving out of the barrel at almost 2000 feet per second would duplicate that of a .357 Magnum hollow point at 100 yards.
....Nothing to snicker at.
A shorter, pistol gripped variant with a folding stock was generated for those in the WW2 military operating in the smallest of confined spaces, and was known as the paratrooper model.
It became a favourite of troops that were crawling through hatches and airplane doorways before "the jump" and were known to be a very reliable platform favoured by some of the toughest of soldiers.
In service from 1943 until well into the Vietnam war; the M1 carbine eventually evolved into a fully automatic platform known as the M2 and was given larger 30 round magazines.
The result was a lightweight controllable rifle that could lay down an impressive volume of full-auto fire that would become the darling of many soldiers.
Now confined to the role as a vintage collectible and with well over 6 million units in circulation; the M1 platform lives on today almost completely true to it's original form, and is being manufactured by companies like Auto Ordinance and Chiappa.
Both restricted and non-restricted versions are available in the used market with price ranges that vary from $600-2000 depending on year of manufacture, the company they were produced by, and condition of the firearms.
**NOTE you should always take note of the barrel length and serial range when purchasing one to ensure that you are operating within the confines of Canadian Law.
Great little light recoiling rifles that definitely are fantastic wartime collectible, that make the CGV smile.
If you can get your hands on one, do it.
You won't regret it.
Thankyou for watching
Respectfully
The CGV.
