NATIONAL POSTAL METER U.S. CARBINE M1

Proven WWII provenance and condition

This NATIONAL POSTAL METER U.S. CARBINE M1 presents as a nicely preserved wartime piece. The receiver shows a clear armory cartouche and a P proof marking on the receiver — period stamps that support authenticity. The barrel is an Underwood assembly clearly stamped “4-43”, tying the barrel to a wartime production window. Cosmetic condition is very good with original parkerized finish and expected handling wear; no active pitting is noted.

Features collectors and shooters will appreciate

Key highlights include a bright bore with sharp rifling and a bolt that cycles smoothly — mechanical signs that this carbine is safe and reliable for range use. The stock is sound with no cracks or major repairs. Included with the rifle are two correct 15-round magazines and a period-style leather sling (not the original issued sling), plus a soft case for transport.

Tactical use and historical context

The M1 Carbine historically chambers the .30 Carbine cartridge, offering light recoil, controllability in rapid fire, and effective close-to-moderate range performance. For modern collectors who also shoot their pieces, this NATL POSTAL METER example balances historical integrity with field-ready mechanics.
