5/19/21 - This is an excellent example of a Saginaw M1 Carbine issued to the US military in late 1943, early 1944. The gun generally has mismatched parts but is in excellent condition. Included below is a full parts list with markings. The gun has retained most of its finish with a few very light handling marks here and there. An adjustable rear sight was added, likely after the war. The stock has a cross-canon cartouche on the right side.
