For shooters and collectors seeking a faithful reproduction of late-war paratrooper hardware, this take on the WWII classic blends authentic detail with modern semi-auto reliability.

Features & Craftsmanship

Attention to detail is central to this build. The folding black wire stock replicates the compact paratrooper profile used in 1944, and the walnut forearm and pistol grip carry cartouche marks and stampings that mirror original Inland production. The type two barrel band and adjustable sights—first introduced in 1944—provide authentic geometry for sighting and serviceability.

Ergonomics and Handling

The low wood forearm and pistol grip offer a natural hand position for rapid target transitions. The folding stock reduces overall length for storage and transport while maintaining enough support for accurate follow-up shots. The 15-round magazine reflects the standard capacity of late-war carbines and supports realistic training loads and recreational use.
