Barrel measures approximately 18 inches and is marked “SAGINAW S G GENERAL MOTORS.” Receiver is marked “U.S. CARBINE CAL .30 M1.” The rifle retains a parkerized finish. Fitted with a wood stock displaying military-style inspection markings, including a “P” proof mark near the grip area and additional markings on the buttstock. Equipped with an adjustable rear sight, blade front sight, and bayonet lug. An olive drab web sling is attached. The buttplate is checkered steel consistent with GI pattern.
CONDITION: The firearm shows visible usage wear, consistent with its age and military use.
