Winchester M1 Carbine
Posted: Sun May 18, 2008 6:00 pm
I finally got my hands on one of these. I've been wanting an M1 Carbine ever since I was a child since my grandfather told me countless times how much he liked the one he was issued during WWII. I resized these images once more, so open them in a new window to view the full size.

The receiver and most parts are Winchester-marked.

The barrel is an Inland GM dated 1-44. I understand differing part manufacturers is commonplace with these rifles.

I found a nice Springfield cartouche on the stock when I removed the magazine pouch. Does this mean the stock was a field replacement?

A previous owner's name (I assume) is carved into the underside of the stock.

A few more pictures for the heck of it.

Some comparisons with its bigger brother:

I just need a few spare magazines now.
