Mike,

Nice M1 Carbine.

As mentioned, if all USGI parts, you paid about half market price for it.

I particularly like the forged trigger groups.

The Inland division of GM is where they originated, and I believe that they eventually made the most. There was a second Inland plant at Saginaw Gear that made them too. My M1 came from IBM near the factory where I worked for many years in Poughkeepsie.

Rock-Ola; Underwood (my Typewriter Carbine); Winchester; Quality Hardware; Irwin-Pederson; National Postal Meter; and Standard Products were the major contractors.

The adjustable sight is a later part, with many originally shipped with "flip sights".

This website is a good one for you to study:
