U.S. Inland M1A1 Paratrooper Semi-Automatic Carbine

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, with this one falling early in the first block. Blade front and "N-A" marked two-leaf rear sights, with an Inland barrel dated "10-42", a "U" marked Type I barrel band, flat bolt, milled trigger guard, "M.T." flip safety and a "W" magazine catch. The stock is the low wood "slim jim" pattern, with an uncircled "P" (sans serif) on the front of the grip, "crossed cannons" and "RI/3" on the butt, "7/4" marked brass rivets, leather cheekpiece, oiler, and a steel buttplate with proper cast-in numbers. Magazine is absent.

ConditionFine as restored, with 80% of the arsenal gray parkerized finish, with areas of gray patina, some streaking on the barrel, scattered spotting and mild handling marks. The re-oiled stock is very good, with some scuffs and dings. Mechanically excellent.
