What an informative video! Thank you for making this.

I have one that has the Type 1 gas block, original crown, but a somewhat grey glossy finish and no markings on the barrel anywhere. It’s thrown me for a loop for a while but while I was redoing the replacement stock I got for it. I noticed all markings are on the receiver. It’s a 1943 underwood so I would have assumed it would have an underwood barrel

brother just go to the CMP store yourself. look at 100 rifles and pick one out. they will gauge it for you and everything and you will go home after picking your rifle. you might not get a collector item but every one of them has been cleaned up and fired. rack grade out the door is about 950 bucks!

I need a 30 ought 6 for protecting my livestock. I have to load my own ammo because it's illegal to use full metal jacket for hunting. I was looking for a beater with a barrel at the CMP. turns out I got an original stock with the correct stamps for July of 44. Winchester made in July of 44 according to the CMP I asked the armorer to check the barrel and he said it was made in 55 and the gauge was a tight one like brand new. it shoots well after a good cleaning. I'm very happy to have an modernized not antique that I cannot worry about some collector jumping on me and wanting to beat me up because it's bouncing around in my truck protecting my cows. I shoot 135 grain polymer tip all day long don't have a problem running them at 2800 ft per second. not much recoil compared to M2 ball.

As usual the information has missed the mark. Gov websites can tell you the year of production and the year of issuance for the M1(if you put in a little effort). This is the serial number of my M1 I carried in Viet Nam, 7472606. After 55 years a Marine will never forget the serial number on his weapon.

Great video !

CMP BS. Playing to inflate the price of a as issued Garand. Fuck you CMP!

Looks like the EMcF cartouche at 2:00 has been enhanced. The "S" is not symmetrical and the cross bar on the "A" is too high. The lines making up the "E, M and F" are wavy. The Ord. Dept acceptance stamp is partly sanded away, but the inspector's mark is not. Thing to look for on stocks are the stampings...many are enhanced, restamped, or are on the wrong stock.

How much do they cost

You pricks by doing this "collector" grade shit keep doubling the prices of these rifles.

IBM 3777502 here

So I have a reproduction m1 made in 1963 with ww2 war time parts it has Winchester sights and furniture inland Saginaw and general motors who ever they were back then all the markings can be traced to 1940s. What does that mean? The only thing not traceable is the barrel and bolt housing which has reproduction company markings on it

SECRET OF THE M1 CARBINE IT HAS TOMMYGUN SIGHTS TERRAIN OPENED UP THEY SPOTTED KOREANS AT 300-400 YARDS THEY WENT TO 300 YARD MARK ON SIGHTS AND SHOT 2 FEET OVER THEYR HEADS LOL THE 250 IS 300 YARDS RIGHT ON THE NOSE . THE CENTER OF GAP BETWEEN 250 AND 300 IS 400 YARDS DEAD NUTS ON. AND THE 300 MARK IS 500 YARDS AND HEAD SHOT CAPABLE MY 400 MARK IS CENTER PUNCHED AND LIGHTLY DRILLED WORKS GREAT.. 80 YEARS LATER I FIGURED IT OUT I AM THE M1 MAN

.. Many years ago, I read "North Cape" by Joe Poyer..about an SR71 type aircraft...years before it became public knowledge...

Pronounce Garand properly please

Mine has all 3 stamps! Mine is a winchester 13 which means it wasn’t sent back to the U.S. by the government but instead, was brought back home by the soldier who used it in that time period. This is my 4th m1 Garand and it never gets old holding them.

In the process of changing out some parts on my six(6) digit serial number Inland. Barrel is marked 8-43. The serial number range is 571,6xx. Not sure but I’m thinking this is an early production gun maybe 43-44. Barrel is excellent with great lands and grooves and an excellent shooter. Looking for a nice Inland marked high wood stock set.

Thank you so much this video helped me confirm that a rifle I bought and am waiting for has an IBM corp receiver to match it's barrel.

Just a fun fact if you have a serial number that starts with 7 million then you know it's a new-made newly-produced rifle not an authentic wartime rifle

I just picked up a M-1 carbine, Inland MFG DIV, General Motors, 2-43. Type 2 rear site. It got some smoke damage in a house fire. I'm taking the surface rust off. should i have it blued or packetized. I can't tell which it had. Plus, I am having one hell of a time getting the pin out of the front sight so i can take off the bayonet sleeve with the letters, SI stamped on it.

I don't see why value would be significantly decreased based on continued maintenance. I understand getting absolute premium on untouched factory rifles, but the history lying within the specific rifle means more to a lot of collectors than 100% factory originality.

Check out my m1a1 carbine on my channel.

I was gifted one some 30 years ago the old lady that gave it to me said it was her fathers from way back during WW2.But know I find Alpine stamped on it So the old lady lied to me I guess ! Oh well I still love getting it out to the range it’s still one of my favorites up until the day I lost it in a boating accident.DAMN

I had a 1966 dated one

My m1 carbine is 500k something serial number so is it legit ? The reciver isint welded or broken or anything

Again, well done!

Well done. Thanks

The books and the videos are great, and a huge help in identifying parts and in making repairs. I have a beautiful November 1943 SA M1 Garand, but it has a 1953 SA barrel, but it's a great shooter!

my uncle has the m1 carbine with the regular stock as well as the folding stock and the serial number on the top of the receiver behind the rear sights says Inland DIV serial number #3541671. can i tell its real based off that? it has the korean era bayonet lug on the bottom of the barrel as well any info will help!

My grandfathers carbine says blue sky/Arlington VA on it, so that’s that mean it’s fake?

Hello I have a manufactured Inland march 1945 with 12/44 dated barrel. The type 2 milled rear sight ha IH marked on right side. Is it original since it has IH ? Thanks

I have found an M1 that has a three digit serial. It shows Rock-ola on the receiver. This rifle looks new. Does Rock-ola make guns today? The dealer is asking $950. This seems to low when compared to others I've seen. Any info would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm looking at purchasing an M1 Carbine but I have some questions on it and was hoping someone could assist. The serial number checks out to be Winchester and is consistent with the serial numbers displayed in this video indicating it is from 1944 or about. However I don't see any markings above the serial number to indicate that it is a Winchester. Also the letters CCSO are stenciled ahead of the type 2 rear site. Not sure what that means.

Thank you for your very informative video.

I have my father’s 1943 Underwood, all original. Regarding the flip rear sights, the internet explains they are for 150 and 300 yards. But no where can I find which one is which, one is a small aperture and the other large. Can anyone help me out? Just want to know so I can better describe my dad’s M1 to friends and family.

Excellent video. I’ve shared with my buddy who just got his first. A post WWII SA. Hs excited to say the least. 👍

Wow I had this Iver Johnson all this time to find out it is a replica.

What was the highest serial number manufactured by "Inland MFG"?

thank you for the info! I have a feb 1945 receiver and barrel and a 1942-1944 bolt

And how much

I’m looking for full dead batt for my rifle carvin

Please say something about the Underwood singer made recivers from block 2..

Standard Product and Quality Hardware. Both 1943. I bought both of these weapons back in the 80s. Great weapon.

great video

The military did rebuild many of the battle damaged or worn out M1’s using whatever parts were on hand. They didn’t care who made the parts or if they matched that receiver or not. So, you can have a mismatched rifle and it is still an authentic and original military M1 carbine.

Great review 🤝 👍 Thanks for sharing

If it makes them less function able yes And i will say more . The only reason you have a m1 Garand is because of Ronald Reagan . You see Ronald Reagan Figured out outside influencing and attacking the United States By Rothchilds bankers JP Morgan And through oil and bank tycoons ,Nazi Soros south and Plantation owners of the south, were even running our CIA And his Vice President Bush senior were under mining the U.S. He even threatened to end the CIA . Just like Kennedy did before George Bush Had him Killed . Now Clinton Bushes cousin First got Caught by secret service with a gun aproaching Jimmy Carter acting President and got grabbed He said he was trying to prove his love to Linda Ronstat.. Then Bushes Pardoner John Hinkley Senor in texaco oil son John Hinkley junior charged Brady using a 22 mag race gun and dumping the revolver on Brady Wounding him and having a bullet ricochet off the limo wounding Ronald Reagan. With John Hinkley JR Saying it was to prove his love to Jodi Foster Reagan Fought Back at first but Bush threatened his wife and Daughter. And Reagan Broke. And Ronald Reagan Cut loose the M1 Garand to the public Knowing With the M1 Garand in hands of the American people, Could Never Be taken over by Tyranny. With the Battle Rifle Supremes Range And Hitting power of a 50 cal. But Selmi Automatic Would send any Opposing Army Broken blown in half Moral stripped and running from wence they came. Just like Nazis. I knew Ronald Reagan. And I dont think He would agree putting a old corroded barrel or backdated disfunctional parts on them . he also regulated the price on them because the american people paid for them to be made in the first place. A small fee and you would have to enter a civillian marksmanship competition And the M1 Garand would be yours. That was Ronald Reagans order and intensions. do your home work Need I say more watch the fake news lately fixed votes covid

Inland receiver with 1944 serial number. type 3 sight but i dont see stake marks like in the video at 8:40. A little unclear as to whether they are expected or not.

Are the CMP garands pretty authentic I know the CMP mixs and matches parts but are the parts actually from the time period or are they after market/fake parts.
