Originally manufactured as a semi-automatic M1, this carbine was upgraded with a full set of M2 components, a procedure performed on many M1 carbines that were in government stocks after World War II. Blade front and I.R. Co peep rear sights, with an Underwood "1-44" barrel, "D in diamond" Type III bayonet lug, round bolt, milled trigger guard, flip safety and an extended magazine catch. The selector switch is present on the left side of the receiver, and the original "M1" model marking has not been overstruck or altered. Fitted with a smooth "perch belly" low-wood pistol grip stock with a 4-rivet handguard, green canvas sling, green canvas magazine pouch and a checkered steel buttplate. One unmarked extended magazine is included.

Very good as arsenal-quality converted, with 85% plus parkerized finish, showing some bright edge wear and operating marks. The stock is good, with some hairline cracking on the top of the wrist, and a few light scuffs and dents. Mechanically excellent.
