Named for their association with America's airborne units, the U.S. M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine was solely made by the Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors in two identified serial number blocks. "*U*" marked blade front and "I.R.CO." adjustable rear sights, with an Inland barrel dated "7-44", a "D in diamond" Type III barrel band, flat bolt, milled trigger guard, "N" flip safety and a M2 pattern magazine catch. The stock is the low wood pattern with a two-rivet handguard, "AAE" on the left side, "P" and "SA" on the grip, brown leather cheekpad with steel rivets and an oiler, and the spring-loaded buttplate with proper casting numbers on the interior.

Very fine, with 95% of the arsenal refurbished parkerized finish showing some mild handling marks, edge wear and spotting overall. Some dings and tool marks are present around the front sight pin. The stock is very good, with some dings and dents. Mechanically excellent.
