M1A1 Paratrooper Carbines
The CMP has a acquired a relatively small quantity of M1A1 paratrooper carbines. Approximately 140,000 of these carbines were made by Inland from late 1942 to late 1944. They are quite scarce today and original examples have not been offered for sale for several decades. While these carbines have been inspected and are complete and serviceable, they have seen considerable use over the past 60+ years. Many show stock repairs and signs of refinishing and rebuilding. Leather may be scuffed or may be torn. Wire stocks may have replaced leather or rivets. All of these carbines have Inland barreled receivers. Most have Inland bolts but will have mixed USGI parts. None have the early flip sights, and late features will predominate. Bores are free of pits and gauge under "3" on a muzzle gauge. Most of these carbines are still coated in grease or other preservative and will require a thorough cleaning. Because of their scarcity, these carbines will be offered for sale through our auction site at http://auction.odcmp.com beginning in Aug-Sep 2008. The carbines have been all been graded as service grade and separated into three categories:
European Wood (replacement). Wood is light tan in color, resembling beechwood. All are low wood profile and most are in excellent condition. A few may have stock repairs. Wire stock is USGI.
