BeautifulWent out in the back yard and ran a few rounds (2 mags) through my 1943 M1 Carbine today. This one is the original WW 2 configuration. Worked smooth as silk. View attachment 153647
They are nice. The carbine was the first weapon I qualified on in the USAF.Nice. This has been on my wishlist for a while now.

Never heard of a Maytag M1. Maybe it was specal.Who made that fine gun? I used to have a pal who had one made by the Maytag Washing machine company. He acted like he thought it was special.
This is the typical issue to the troops version. Underwood barrel dated 4/43. Inland receiver with 5 digit serial number. Other small parts a mixture. Stock manufactured by HI. Stock is stamped as being reworked sometime during the war at Ogden Armory. All original WW2.Who made that fine gun? I used to have a pal who had one made by the Maytag Washing machine company.

Remington did make 1911's as did a railroad signal company known as Union Switch & Signal. Smith Corona and Remington made 03-A3's. Many different companies changed tooling to support the war.Thanks for the scoop. I dont see Maytag mentioned either as making components. Maybe my old pal was fibbing. Nearly swear he claimed to have a 1911 made by the Remington Rand Type Writer company. That seemed sorta strange too. lol. I know for sure he had a Tommy Gun and a Grease gun..cause I recall the day the old retired Capt. gave them to him free. Those Masons are tight. lol.

Prior to the 1968 amnesty, I hope....I recall the day the old retired Capt. gave them to him...
I like the original WW2 weapons and their configurations. I was born in 1943 and have several different guns dated to 1943.Beautiful. I love the early war look with the flip sight and no bayonet lug.
Mine is the same. Absolutely love it. It was !y father's before it was mine and I don't think I'll ever let it go.This is the typical issue to the troops version. Underwood barrel dated 4/43.
