Great find I have two myself. My favorite rifle all time. The M1 Carbine does not get enough respect. It exceeded all of the original expectations. Good video!
@@JonBoyMilitaria At one time, I wanted to try and get all 10 makes. I was up to six, but am down to three now. There was a very nice little militaria show in Leavenworth today that you would have loved.
My grandpa was on a troop transport ship and when needed that was what they handed out to them. They had little need with Marines always aboard tho lol
awesome rifle dude! from what i remember inland made the balance of the paratrooper m1a1s. since yours has an inland stock it probably is original to the rifle. the flat bolt is desirable. ive got pics of the bayonet lug in use during late ww2. i think ive got pics of the windage gage rear sights as well, but im not sure. anyway great rifle!
real cool!!! i love the m 1 carbine very good price. my dads job required him to have a weapon and used to give him a m1 carbine since then they replaced it but its a amazing riffle.
awesome!! interesting it has HIGH WOOD which was an early war feature (I have one w/ that... and also the capital I oiler slot) so the more sleek profile like your other one w/ the checkering
Wow, score! Date on sling looks to me to be 1953. Didn't they make far more M1 carbines than M1 Garands? Yet they tend to be more expensive to purchase in the market today?
They made more M1 Carbines than M1 Garands yes. I believe they go for around the same amount of money usually. Pretty much any M1 Carbine or m1 Garand $800 or less would be a good deal now days.
Nice additions right there. I picked up a couple of rare rifles myself. The guy who sold them to me said his son's weren't into old guns and he just wanted them to go to a new home that would appreciate them. I do believe those rubber covers are dust covers for the magazines you just put them over the top of the ammunition and feed lips to keep debris from getting in your mags at the range.
Found a paratrooper model in a pawn shop late 2021. Underwood a few months before that in a gun store. Both dated late 1943. And a inland from late 1944 with the cross bolt safety I believe it was 9 companies that made them. And Saginaw oversaw the production of the National Postal Meter ones. IBM. Rockola. Inland
Just wanted to say I like your channel. I just watched your milsurps collection from a couple years ago, and I was wondering if you could make another video of your updated collection. Just curious what state you’re in, any chance you’re in Georgia
MRL must be inspector mark. No military acronym in book or website for MRL at all I could find. Check that LeRoy Thompson book it may have more info. *Maybe* if not something with Marines??? Too good for soldier to do. Get a bayonet for each one and a spare. MRL is no inspector either I can find, but who knows. Nothing listed in CMP markings guide either. Thats an odd one.
Nice buy for 1k. Carbines are expensive now the ammo is almost gone. Barrel and reciever match and stock. Big plus shop around parts and find inland bolt and charge handle. All and all good buy. I've bought and sold maybe 50 in my life with my ffl. I only have 3 in my collection now. My uncles inland para. A Winchester and a inland wood stock. Hang on to this one.
I was happy to find out that the barrel, receiver and stock were all Inland. Maybe one day I can track down those other parts you mentioned. Wow, you have had around 50 over the years. That is awesome.
Noting wrong with import mark. Its still usgi. M1 carbine Bluesky is imported from Korea in the mid 80's to early 00's, and Royal Tiger import is from Africa around 2019 to 2022.
