U.S. Carbine M1 Semi-Auto Rifle | .30 Carbine | 18in

The M1 Carbine was the most-produced American firearm of World War II, issued to officers, paratroopers, and support troops as a lighter alternative to the M1 Garand. Chambered in .30 Carbine with a detachable magazine, it weighs just over five pounds — almost half the Garand's weight — and cycles with a slick, reliable gas-operated action. Shooting an M1 Carbine is a direct connection to the Greatest Generation. Few firearms have been in as many hands, in as many significant moments in history.
