NB - EXCELLENT- near new condition 95% - 98%, used but little, no noticeable marring of wood or metal, bluing near perfect (some wear at muzzle or sharp edges can be expected).

Manufactured late in M1 Carbine production concurrently with the first M2 Automatic Carbines; receivers were stamped with "M" and the number left blank so "1" or "2" could be hand-stamped later in production based on need. "N" blade front with a milled "PI" adjustable rear sight, with a Type III "KI" bayonet lug on an Inland "12-44" barrel, round bolt, milled trigger guard, push-button safety and "E.I." magazine catch. Fitted with a low wood flat bottom stock with a 4-rivet handguard, the crossed cannon cartouche on the right side of the buttstock, "IO" oval sling cut and a green canvas sling. Magazine not included.

Excellent, with 95% of the factory parkerized finish, showing some minor edge wear and handling marks overall. The stock is very fine, with a few minor scuffs and scratches concentrated around the right side of the buttstock.
