Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. This is a very nice refurbished World War Two M1 Carbine cutaway USGI classroom non-functional enlarged training model, most likely made by Dellenbarger Machine Co., who manufactured just about all that we have seen previously. The carbine itself measures approximately 71" in length and is constructed of cast metal with a wooden stock. This is a classroom demonstrator of the famous M1 Carbine for educating soldiers during WW2 on the inner workings and operation of the carbine, including the open bolt operation, magazine, feeding, etc. This example has been refurbished, with all metal parts repainted and the stock fully cleaned. The metal pieces do not actually attach to the stock, and only sit in place for display, as the original pieces which held the set together are now gone.
The metal parts consist of two large pieces which have holes meant for dowels to hold the pieces together, but those fasteners are now gone. Some rudimentary replacements could be thrown together, but the set should sit fine for display purposes.
The stock appears to be missing a large chunk of material behind the rear sight, which likely originally had pieces that held the metal in place. The bolt appears to be missing completely, and we cannot get any of the gun to actually “function”. There is no magazine, and the metal band that originally held the barrel to the stock is missing as well.
The “cutaway” part of the stock is painted red to show where the cut is, with a small cutaway of the actual barrel as well to show its interior.
This would be a great restoration project if you have some of the parts this set is missing. A good refurbished example, ready for further research and display.
M1 Carbine
The M1 carbine (formally the United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1) is a lightweight semi-automatic carbine that was a standard firearm for the U.S. military during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The M1 carbine was produced in several variants and was widely used by paramilitary and police forces around the world, and also became a popular civilian firearm after World War II.
The M2 carbine is the selective-fire version of the M1 carbine, capable of firing in both semi-automatic and fully-automatic. The M3 carbine was an M2 carbine with an active infrared scope system. Despite having a similar name and physical outward appearance, the M1 carbine is not a carbine version of the M1 Garand rifle. On July 1, 1925, the U.S. Army began using the current naming convention where the "M" is the designation for "Model" and the number represents the sequential development of equipment and weapons. Therefore, the "M1 carbine" was the first carbine developed under this system. The "M2 carbine" was the second carbine developed under the system, etc.
