Underwood M1 Carbines Now Available from Europe!

We just received Underwood M1 Carbines from Europe! These rifles are generally in very good overall condition. Bores are generally good to very good with strong lands and grooves. The bores typically gauge between 1.0 and 2.5, but may gauge up to 3.0. Hand-selected carbines will gauge 2.0 or less. M1 Carbines saw use in World War II, Korean War, and many other subsequent conflicts. This is an incredibly rare chance to get ahold of a piece of history!

Hand Select condition carbines will have better overall metal finish, better stock condition with no cracks and very good to excellent bore.

These M1 Carbines are surplus rifles so expect dents, dings, scratches, parkerizing wear, etc. The stocks are in good to very good condition, with no major cracks or damage. However, due to dry storage, standard-grade carbines may have very small cracks, such as near the recoil lug. May have 2 rivet or 4 rivet upper handguard. Stock style may vary (M1 or M2). Original metal finish is between 60-80% depending on each firearm. These carbines pass a basic function test of cycling the op rod, safety lever and trigger. Additionally, all carbines are test fired. These carbines are chambered in .30 M1 Carbine (7.62×33).

The carbines in this batch have adjustable rear sights (Type 2 milled or Type 3 stamped) and flip safety levers. All carbines in this listing have the Type 3 barrel band with bayonet lugs.

Includes one 15-round original surplus magazine. Magazine will not be included where prohibited by city or state law.

Frequently Asked Questions

What caliber is the M1 Carbine?

The M1 Carbine is chambered in .30 Carbine (7.62x33mm), a light rifle cartridge distinct from the .30-06 used in the M1 Garand. Commercial .30 Carbine ammunition is readily available.

Who was Underwood?

Underwood, best known as a typewriter manufacturer, was one of ten prime contractors that produced M1 Carbines during World War II. As with all wartime carbines, parts were shared across a subcontractor network, so mixed-maker parts are common and correct.

Is this an FFL firearm or C&R?

This carbine requires a standard FFL transfer. Email your FFL to [email protected] with your order number. All federal, state, and local laws apply.

What does the bore gauge number mean?

Bore gauge measures throat erosion and wear; lower numbers indicate less wear. These gauge between 1.0 and 2.5, occasionally up to 3.0. Hand-select carbines are guaranteed to gauge 2.0 or less with very good to excellent bores.

Where were M1 Carbines used?

The M1 Carbine was a standard US light rifle of World War II and the Korean War, and saw use in many later conflicts. It was prized for its light weight and handiness compared to full-size battle rifles.

What condition are these carbines in?

Very good surplus condition with 60-80% original finish and honest wear such as dents and parkerizing loss. Stocks are good to very good with no major cracks, though standard grades may have very small cracks near the recoil lug. All are function tested and test fired. Features may vary, including 2 or 4-rivet handguards and M1 or M2 stock style.
