The M1A1 Carbine, based on the U.S. M1 .30 Caliber Carbine, was the only gun developed specifically for America's Airborne during World War II. Modeled after a late production 1944 M1A1 Paratrooper model, Inland Manufacturing's M1A1 Paratrooper features a folding "low wood" walnut stock, type two barrel band, and includes the same adjustable sights that were actually introduced in 1944. Additionally, the gun has a 15-round capacity just like the original used during World War II. Overall, Inland Manufacturing provides consumers with the opportunity to own a piece of history with its M1A1 Paratrooper Carbine. 






Check out this 
“Rifleman Review” video from a recent episode of American Rifleman TV, in which Mark Keefe takes the gun downrange.
