With an "8-44" dated Inland barrel, "N" blade front and "HI" adjustable rear peep sights, wide type 2 barrel band, round top bolt, milled Inland trigger housing, button safety, and "E.I." marked magazine catch. Low wood stock with a two rivet handguard, M2 selector cut, "RIA/EB" cartouche, oval cut oiler slot, and stamped checkered steel buttplate. With a copy of a CMP bill of sale, hand-numbered to this and two other carbines and addressed to the Carbine Club (producers of a newsletter on the M1 Carbine, est. 1975, still active online) and Bruce Canfield (noted author and editor) by way of the Community Bank in Shreveport, Louisiana, in 2003, as well as a Protective Coatings Corporation "White Bag" storage pack dated May 1967. Magazine absent. Provenance: Bruce Canfield collection.

Very fine as arsenal refurbished, with 95% plus gray/green parkerized finish, showing a mixed brown and gray patina on the recoil plate, a streak of black across the serial number, mild edge wear and scattered handling marks. The stock is very good, with a replaced section of wood on the underside of the grip, some mild dings, light chips and a few scuffs. Mechanically excellent.
