Project Description
!!!!!SOLD!!!!! This is a 1/2 scale U.S. M-1 carbine made by Miniart in Moscow, Russia about 20 years ago. 17 5/8″ long overall with a 8 7/8″ round barrel of about .15 caliber. Gray parkerized steel finish except for the bolt and the rear sight aperture which are blued. Straight grained walnut stock & forward upper handguard with an oil finish. The top front of the receiver just over the rear of the chamber laser engraved “U.S. CARBINE, CAL .30 M1” in two lines. The serial number “002” laser engraved into the top rear of the receiver just behind the rear sight. The bottom rear of the magazine laser engraved “002”. This carbine has the later windage adjustable aperture rear sight and the bayonet lug under the barrel. Standard blade front sight with protective ears on each side. Sling swivel on the left side of the barrel band. Stamped blue steel buttplate. Includes the original bayonet serial numbered 002, the web sling & oiler, and three rounds of solid yellow brass dummy .30 carbine cartridges that will feed, chamber, extract, and eject when manually cycled through the action. There are some minor scratches on the top of the magazine where it has been installed & removed, some scratches and blue loss on the top of the bolt, otherwise this piece is in excellent near mint condition, I’d call it 98%. There were very few of these late style M-1 carbines made. !!!!!SOLD!!!!!
