Manufactured by Winchester and imported back into the United States by Inter-American. The U.S. M2 was manufactured concurrently with the M1 Carbine, and the very high parts interchangeability would let manufacturers produce receivers with all but the "1" or "2", and then fit the appropriate parts and apply the stamp as needed for the day. Blade front and "PI" marked adjustable peep rear sight, with a "W" marked barrel, "C" marked Type III barrel band, round bolt, milled "SA" triggerguard, "HSA" operating rod, "H.I" hammer, "N" flip safety, and an "AN" and "IO" marked pistol grip stock with "IO" four-rivet handguard and a green canvas sling. The I-A marking is present on the underside of the barrel, beneath the operating rod. Magazine absent.

Fine, with 80% of the arsenal refurbished parkerized finish, showing some edge and cycling wear overall, along with some light handling marks. The stock is very good as sanded and refinished, with some fading of the markings and mild dents and scratches. Mechanically excellent.
