Manufactured in 1944. The carbine has mostly late production features including the type 3 barrel band/bayonet lug, low wood four rivet upper handguard, smooth "M" marked magazine catch, plain push button safety, parkerized round top bolt, straight hammer, milled trigger guard with the oiler hole, and stamped adjustable rear sights. Mounted on a pistol grip walnut stock with an oval oiler cutout and checkered stamped steel buttplate. The stock is marked "44" on the grip end and stamped with the Ordnance Department crossed cannons cartouche on the right side. Includes a green canvas web sling.

Very fine. 95% arsenal refurbished parkerized finish remains with handling marks, light high point and edge wear, and cycling marks on the bolt and receiver rails. The refurbished wood is very fine as lightly reoiled with a few small gouges, handling marks, and light indentations. Mechanically excellent.
