The original M1 Carbine is a product of the late 1930s. Are M1 Carbines and magazines still being made?ĭuring their initial production run, everyone from Winchester to General Motors produced the Carbine for the United States Military. Firearms and military enthusiasts still use and collect these carbines and their magazines. They were one of the main firearms used by the United States Military from 1942 to 1973. However, this is a minor quibble only and if the gun is not going to see a ton of rounds or handling, it probably won't be an issue at all.M1 Carbines are semi-automatic, short rifles first introduced in the late 1930s. The GI trigger unit went right in with only minor fitting to the base of the receiver, but on your gun the stock cutout is different (longer, wider) and will look a bit goofy unless you also swap it for a GI stock (or a modern Auto Ordnance/Inland replacement stock).
I replaced the aluminum housing on mine just cuz it bugged me and I was concerned about accelerated wear and sloppy magazine engagement down the road. My only caveat is that the 5-digit guns will use an aluminum trigger housing which is wider at the tail end than the GI steel unit. My dad even shot a 2.5" group at that range with it the first time he picked it up with three holes touching! My kids regularly ring a 9" steel plate with it at 50yd. The receiver machining is very well done and the gun is crazy accurate for a Carbine. The only GI parts are the recoil plate (Rockola, lol!), rear sight (Winchester), and the slide (Inland), with the rest of the internal parts being made by Universal, but fully compatible with GI bits. My 4-digit Uni is every bit as good as my 2 GI guns.
