This is a very scarce Iver Johnson M2 fully automatic carbine that has been fitted with a commercial M1A1 paratrooper type folding carbine stock. The Iver Johnson carbines were manufactured almost exactly like the original WWII M1 carbines only they have a nicely blued finish and were usually fitted with new manufactured walnut stocks and handguards. This is a fairly rare example as it was originally manufactured as a fully automatic "M2" version of their M1 carbine. The top of the receiver is marked: "IVER JOHNSON ARMS/.30 CAL M2/JACKSONVILLE ARK." The left side of the receiver is marked "CA00995". It has the late production round blued bolt with a type II barrel band without a bayonet lug, GI type blade front sight and a adjustable rear sight. As stated, this carbine comes with a commercial, M1A1 Paratrooper stock. It has a nice new made walnut stock with an all blued folding wire stock with the cast buttplate. This nice little carbine comes with an original Springfield Armory GI M2 type stock and four original, all blue GI 15 round magazine, and two canvas magazine pouches.

Excellent with 99% of the original factory blued finish overall with just a slight rub mark on top right side of the receiver from hand cycling the action. The paratrooper stock is excellent with only a small handling mark on the left side where the folding stock contacts the wood. The extra GI M2 stock is very good with the normal handling marks, dings and light pressure dents form actual field use. A nice example of a post war Iver Johnson M2 fully automatic Class III/NFA carbine.
