Round bolts weren't cheaper to make. That's a myth perpetuated by people that are generally clueless. It sound good but has no basis in reality. Flat bolts were not forged into a round shape just...

The barrels were in fact free to the prime contractors that did not have the capability to manufacture barrels. The minutes for the September 1943 Inspection Council Meeting calls them Free-Issue...

Neither statement is factual. Q.H.M.C., like all the other prime contractors, was contracted to provide the government with a completed product and were paid as such. Quality, again like all the...

Every time you post you show how little you know about M1 Carbines.

Off the top of my head, most Winchesters, IBMs, Underwood, & NPM have serifs on the one.

The first contracts for barrel bands with the bayonet lug, aka type 3, began in May 1944. By late 1944 they were showing up on Inland carbines and March 1945 for Winchester.

If it has a 2 stamped over a 1 it left the Inland facility as an M1 Carbine.

Repro

Look at the top front of the magazine well and there should be a .U. there.

If you can post a picture of the bottom of the stock where the barrel band is.

BTW, the rear sight is correct for your serial number.

Also, M1A1 Carbines were not just issued to the just...

Rare and expensive, like a ten dollar IS oiler?

BTW this one is a repro, aka fake.

Roughly 6.2 million were made during the WWII era.

May an unlicensed person acquire a firearm under the GCA in any State?

Generally, a person may only acquire a firearm within the person’s own State....

It just means the bolt was inspected and passed by an Ordnance Department inspector.

Your receiver wasn't "produced on January 3, 1945", that is when the serial number was applied to the yet unfinished receiver.

The J.A.O. safety isn't a post war replacement safety and there is...

By the period TOEs the truck drivers, clerks, cooks in the infantry units were issued .30 cal M1 rifles, aka the M1 Garand. The machine gunners, mortarmen and other heavy weapons personnel were...

Apparently reading isn't one of your strong points.

The document posted is a photo copy of the original document from the Chief of Infantry to the Chief of Ordnance requesting the development of a...

Sorry Dave, every time you post your argument gets weaker and weaker. Nothing in the initial requirement documents does it state what became the M1 Carbine was for "Officers and rear personnel".
...

Nothing above supports your misconception that "The M1 Carbine was developed for officers and rear personal...."

BTW it is not my word it is fact, straight from the Chief of Infantry in 1938.
...

The M1 carbine was developed for the infantry not for "officers and rear personal".

Think of it this way. The earliest possible Underwood serial number is 1,350,000. If marked oilers were only on early carbine "till around the 1 million mark", why are there IU marked oilers?
...

The hole the OP is referring to, the one at the rear of the receiver, was put there to help keep debris out of the operating spring hole. It also makes it easier to clean out the operating spring...

Inland 6416064 would have been assembled in early to mid December 1944.
