The M1 Carbine is famous for its use in World War II as a personal defense weapon for tank crews and backline combat units, and would also see use by paratroopers due to its light weight and compact size. This model is a faithful reproduction by Auto Ordnance that conforms as close as possible to the military specifications while utilizing modern manufacturing techniques such as high precision computerized machining. Each rifle features a black parkerized receiver and barrel finish with an American Walnut stock, flip-style rear sight, and an 18-inch barrel. This model is the standard variant and includes one 15-round magazine with a traditional-style stock that reflects the standard-issue models issued to backline personnel.
