5/6/20 - This is a fantastic, original example of a scarce and desirable Inland M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine. It is also the earliest example we have ever offered, made in just the second month of production (October of 1942). It has a five-digit serial, and features a correct high-wood stock. IO marked stock and handguard with flaming bomb inspection proof. There is a small ding/nick in the top of the handguard. Correct circle P on back of stock, and crossed cannons cartouche on pistol grip. Original hardware and cheekpad. Mint bore. AI marked magazine.
