For sale is a Saginaw M1 Carbine semi-automatic rifle in .30 Caliber Carbine. Serial number- 1858287. This rifle is in great condition and comes with a canvas sling, five magazines, and a canvas stock saddle. It also features an Underwood barrel dated September 1943. The M1 Carbine saw many updates and changes during WWII as they became popular with US troops. This M1 is in an early configuration of the M1 Carbine with the flip rear sight (missing), "high wall" stock, and flat bolt. We believe this carbine was manufactured by the Saginaw branch in Grand Rapids. The facility at Grand Rapids was initially operated by Irwin-Pedersen. When the carbines they produced failed to pass muster with U.S. Army Ordnance, the Irwin-Pedersen carbine contract, and the Grand Rapids facility was turned over to Saginaw Steering Gear and operated as a second Saginaw M1 Carbine production facility.

Please see the photos to assess the condition of the rifle for yourself. Note there is a scope mount installed but it is attached to the rear sight (SEE IN THE PHOTOS!). The rifle IS NOT drilled and tapped for a scope, however, if the scope mount is removed the rifle will need a replacement rear sight to bring it to its original configuration.
