Inland M1A1 Carbine Type II Paratrooper – .30 Cal – M1 – Folding Stock – C

This is a no reserve penny auction for an Inland M1A1 Carbine Type II Paratrooper rifle in .30 Cal. Serial number – 5452814 . This rifle is in Great Condition with an Amazing Bore and comes with a 15-round Magazine, Canvas Sling, and an Elyar Gun Case! The SN and Barrel Stamp date this Carbine's Manufacture date to 1944!

This isn't just an M1 Carbine— this is a highly authentic, late-WWII Inland M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine. In a market absolutely flooded with modern fakes, reproduction stocks, and scrambled "mix-master" rifles, this specimen stands out as a pure, historically consistent dream.

Most wartime carbines had their barrels shot out or replaced during post-war service. This rifle features its original, factory-matched August 1944 (8-44) Inland barrel. It aligns perfectly with the 5.4 million receiver serial range, meaning this barrel and receiver have been together since the day they left the General Motors assembly line.

Period-correct stamps:
– Original OI (Overton-Inland) folding stock channel and matching OI handguard.
– Factory RI (Richardson for Inland) pistol grip.
– Genuine H.I. (Inland) dog-leg hammer.
– An N (Niles) front sight, SI (Standard Container) magazine, and a "Triangle A" (American Nut & Bolt) Type II barrel band.
– Cast Buttplate

This rifle tells an authentic story. It bypassed the hands of civilian tinkerers and went through an official military depot upgrade cycle. The crisp chisel-staking marks locking down the Type III adjustable rear sight and the P mark on the back of the grip, Ordnance Wheel or Crossed Cannons (US Ordnance Stamp), and clean circle-P proof mark on the pistol grip are the exact signatures of a US military armorer updating a frontline weapon for continued readiness.

You are looking at an iconic piece of US Airborne history that has retained its original mechanical DNA through the chaos of World War II and subsequent depot service. It is highly correct, beautifully marked, and an undeniable investment-grade asset to any WWII collection.
