They did. M2 Carbine. Came out in late 1944/early 1945. Select fire was considered during the trials, but decided against. The M2 Carbine also saw with it, the introduction of the 30 round magazine as well. It continued on to serve in Korea, where it was modified with a first generation, active night vision scope to become the M3 Carbine. Thus leading to the M4 carbine we know of today.

In 1980, my time military year, i did pratice in FAL, HK-33, beretta9mm pistol and retired guns burning the ammo: colt 45 and that M1 with retract suport, and M1 give me the best % in all guns! Impressive for a WW2 gun!

I have had mine for close to 20 years now. I paid just $250.00 for my Inland, included were 4 mags that were still in their wax paper. Still to this day my M1 csrbine is my favorite rifle in my collection. I love its history.

My dad had a m1 when I was a small kid ! I grew up shooting one of these sweet rifles ! Wishing I still had the one my dad had..but I'm planning on getting another one just for the child hood memories

Its a beautiful rifle. I had one of these when I served in the Greek Army Signals back in 1983!

My M1 Carbine is my wife's favorite gun of mine to shoot. I have a Quality Hardware built in June '44. Got mine over 15 years ago for $300. Now, you can't find them for less than $700-$800. Glad you finally joined the club!

Just picked up my first M1 Carbine last week; alas mine is not an authentic WWII relic but it is a very nice shooting, very accurate, in near perfect condition Underwood. Best I can tell mine was Mfr'd sometime in the '70s - This would be an excellent choice for someone who wants to start out a young shooter on a centerfire rifle. Nice vid by the way.

looks very low recoil and very accurate

Just got one last week. Same one you got there. Inland (general motors) can't wait to put it through some paces. Shot one before and loved every bit of it!

I'm in the Military High School and I use a M1 Carbine every week.(I don't fire it) But it is amazingly beautiful :D

Yep, the carbine was used in Viet Nam, but all the way thru not just in the beginning. Many were given to Vietnamese people for village defense. Also, the Navy used them, as they didn't really need top line rifles for shipboard security, etc.

I have an m1 Carbine and it's literally my favorite rifle out of all my guns.

I concur with your statement "on my bucket list", finally got mine, WWII Inland M1 Carbine. LOVE IT!

i love my carbine...paid about 600 and found out that it wasnt a remake!i was so excited..but these truly are a wonderful rifle!

You sir, know how to put together a quality, informative, to the point, no filler great video.

Outstanding video. Photography, commentary, everything! First class. Really enjoyed it.

Thanks for posting!! The carbine is on my short list to complete my WWII collection.

How did I miss this video??? After watching the History and Military Channels so much lately, this rifle really appeals! Those closeups in HD are larger than life and really quench my thirst for these actual wartime relics. Congratulations, you have a real beauty, there. I'm olive-green with envy!

Great shooting! Very well done video. I like the background you gave of the rifle as well as the closeups.

Great review! and a superb little gun.

That's an awesome carbine you have. Thanks for sharing. I think I need to go for something like that. I mean with history and service on it.

Congrats! Always a great feeling to have an object of long time love finally in the safe!! Great shooting btw!!

Very good shooting on a really fun plinking weapon. I have a Universal M1 Carbine and found it fun to shoot and easy to carry to the range. You did very well with a strange gun. It should like your steel targets. It does not kick badly, it has a high rate of semi automatic fire, and is just plain fun to shoot. Very good video.

Nice vid again. I really have to say that I like listening to what you have to say on your channel. You have a very focused and conceptional way of speaking (like Hickok45 has). That makes it so much easier to get all the information for me as a foreign national from Germany. Thx.

This is a really well made video. The picture in picture was edited in well, and it sounded like you'd though about what you were going to say (something all too rare on these types of videos). Keep up the good work.

Ive found that tnoutdoors9 has VERY high quality videos. There is a massive amount of information in each video that is delivered well and he knows how to edit footage, unlike some guys who will literally turn a camera on and do their thing with no cuts (those kind of videos almost always suck!) He also does tests and records a lot of useful ballistic data in a scientific manner. He is very professional. Like you said, compared to a lot of quote on quote 'professional' gun channels on youtube, he makes some damn fine videos.

Awesome! Congrats on your latest acquisition & thanks for the great vid!

Great little Carbines ! I have a IBM, and a Winchester carbine. One FUN gun to shoot ! Thanks for posting this video !!

This is the perfect personification of what a good video should be. Well done.

Excellent coverage. Thanks for vid. Nice shootin too.

Awesome shooting, and I love the picture in picture!!!

Good video's I enjoy all your reviews,Thanks for your time.

I have the same gun. Mine was manufactured by Underwood. I use it as a home defense gun. My former dept in the midwest still has a limited supply of those. We tried them against level II and level III vests. They would penatrate the front, but not go through the front and the back. These are great little guns. thanks for showing.

Outstanding find. You're lucky to own a piece of history.

Mine was made by the Singer Sewing Machine Company.

Another great video boss, and for a beautiful and historic rifle. Definitely one that is on my list as well. Thanks for sharing.

Nice video, rifle and shooting. Can't wait for more videos with this rifle!

Great vid and gun. Thanks for sharing with us. :)

nice vid my friend. i was just looking at one of these today!

Excellent video, great quality... Amazing piece of history right there, and I guess it's a joy to shoot!

I got my grandfather's m1 from ww2 , you got nice grouping

my father had one for years but got rid of it when i was in college back in the 80's...it was a fantastic rifle...man i miss it...

Nice looking M1. Love the 2 rivit front handguard. The stock was is a great find with the inspectors cartouches. Nice find!

I have the same exact Carbine as yours ..... exact right down to the month and year. My safety is a lever flip safety though, not a cross-bolt push safety. Rifling or bore on mine is also in great shape. I prefer the surplus 15rd. mags but I also have two 5rd. mags for hunting, one is metal and one is plastic but both work fine. I did have a little four power Simmons scope on mine for a while that did bring the groups in a little better but the scope mount kicked hot brass directly onto my shooting hand. I went back to the iron sights. I got mine in the mid 90s when a government warehouse in Virginia gave them to Wal-Mart to sell at $150 each. NRA certified good condition. Mostly Inland but there were some Underwoods also. Underwood was the first typewriter company as far as I know. I did notice that your group tended to open up more as the barrel got hotter. Thanks for sharing.

Beautiful, Wow! Real piece of history you got there!!

Beautiful piece. Excellent cartouches.

I've loved the M.1 Carbine since I first saw one in an old war movie when I was a kid, and that would be about 40 odd years ago. Great photography tnoutdoors9, not only did you score some tight groups but you also scored a new subscriber!

sweet rifle, love the "target cam" picture in picture!

great video man. good job

loved it, as usual you always make quality vids

Great video - thanks.

thanks for the video. i love the M1, definitely one of the best rifles ever made and pretty accurate too.

Man, I've always wanted one of these, and now that I've seen you shooting it I want one even more. By the way, I can't choose a favorite between you, nutnfancy, and hickok45. Keep up the good work.

Yes. little kick, high accuracy

That target cam is quite cool!!!

great shooting sir! and congrats to you for finding such a beautiful rifle!

You convinced me and I will look for one. Thanks

Mine is also an Inland 1943. Bought it in 93 from a fellow employee soon after i started working in a gun shop. Got the gun, sling, 4 or 5 mags, rubber mag covers, some brass, dies, the canvas case, and a partial box of ammo for $250. Everyone stop drooling. :)

Great video!

and the ease of pulling the trigger group out in the Garand makes it that much nicer

great video

My dad used that rifle in the Korean War when he was 19 thanks for the awsome video.

Great video, thank you

Nice! You got one with an early trigger group!

Winchester had a major design influence? Winchester DESIGNED the rifle. Inland was able to tool up for mass production before Winchester and therefore procured the initial Serial Number block of 11-999,999.

tnoutdoors9, great gun and I am glad that you were able to finally get one. Piece of trivia for you. All of the government carbines were made during wwII and the bayonet lug was an add on for the ones that were refitted for the Koreian conflict.

I am 36 and bought an inland at age 19. I paid 300 bucks which was a little high then but now they are up to and over 1000 bucks. If you count all the accessories for the gun I have collected its well over 1000. And now although I love to shoot this fun work of art, I think I want to leave the numbers and parts matcing so I dont shoot it much now. I may get a thompson replica to plink with

Your Bucket list purchase has inspired me to make one for myself... Gun store her I come!

definetly!!! and very practical for close/medium range self defence

wow, that accuracy is fantastic. Wow again, no doubt i'd feel pretty secure shooting an 'enemy' from a distance during war with that amazing rifle

This made me want to get mine and go shooting! I think I will!

those are sweet shooters tn. i meet a guy at the range one day who had one of these and he let me shoot it. thing was dead on at 50 yards with iron sights. amazing gun, fun to shoot and almost no recoil, at lest for me :) have fun and enjoy

my grandfather has one of these, i dont think its a WWII rifle but it is authentic, it was his training rifle in the navy when he served in the korean war so, its a blast to shoot!

Great shooting! Nice piece of history!

Great gun.. thank you for sharing.. its on my gun bucket list too

Nice video!

Thats a sweet looking 30 carbine. I love those, one of my favorite mititary surplus guns. They are a great piece of history, I will never part with mine. I even reload that cartridge now I love it so much! Great pickup, enjoy!!!

bought mine back in the late 80s early 90s and I love it. I bought the Grand first and paid less for the both them then what they coast individually today

The first gun I've ever shot. I love it! Thanks

I got lucky... The guy I got mine from thought it was an Underwood because of the barrel markings... I looked under the rear sight and found Inland Div markings... with an 11K range serial number. That dates it to oh, July to september of 1942!

Wow, what an awesome rifle. Congrats.

I think that the M1 carbine is one of the most fun rifles to shoot, I have a National Postal Meter and I love it! I'm with you, I can't see myself ever parting with that rifle. Take care

I bought my first M1 carbine at a swap meet in 1982 for $95. In 1994, one of my dirtbag second cousins stole it. (I became the blacksheep in the family, because I had his sorry ass thrown in jail!) It would be worth a fortune today! It was a Winchester! I broke down 4 day's ago, & ordered a new one. Now I'm impatient as hell for it to get here! This is one of the most UNDERRATED carbines & cartridge's ever made. A standard factory load .30 carbine fmj cartridge is moving 1990 fps, & delivers 967 ft.lbs of energy at the muzzle. At 10 yards, it's still over 900 ft.lbs! That smoke's every pistol cartridge under a .41 & .44 magnum! Only their greater size gives them an edge over it. It's lightweight, low recoil, & accuracy under 300 yard's make it ideal for home defense.

As usual, awsome!!!

B-E-A-UTIFUL weapon! There's something elegant about them.

Awesome shooting as always. Can I just ask about the purpose of the drilled out surround of the front sight post? As in the V either side of the front post? I can't see weight shedding being anything more than negligible, so is it perhaps to let more light onto the post?

Man, that is a beautiful gun you have there.

The M1 carbine is an American classic. That my friend is one nice piece of memorabilia. A fun gun to shoot and chambered for a relatively mild cartridge. Well crafted and machined too. Guess I have always been partial to steel and wood.

Very nice brother, I have one as well made in '43 by Underwood. I enjoy your videos very much & keep up the great work.

Very cool gun. Congratulations! What a shooter.

one of my all time favorite rifles along with the garand, m14 / m1a

That is awesome shooting! And with irons! I must practice!

I had one back when i was 14 , 30 years ago, great carbine. 1900 ft second , low recoil. Good short range bush weapon. AKs took over the M1 market

Nice. I have this same rifle, but it's made in 10-43 and has a Springfield Armory M2 "pot belly" stock. I like your upper handguard, because mine is a replacement m2 version with 4 rivet holes. I also have a version 3 sight.

This is one of my favorite rifles.

Yes, the Carbine, Garand and M-14 are all in my top 5

I soo want to try out this rifle or the garand, but I have no idea where I could shoot with a rifle like this. Anyway... Great aiming, and nice video.

Nice! I own a 1944 Winchester that I purchased in 1989 unfortunately I haven't fired it since 1999, I live in a city in Cali so it's hard to find a place to shoot.

@JAndersonIV standard mags are 15 rounders, like the beginning of the video, but they don't lock the bolt open when they're empty. The 30 rounders are more expensive but they lock the bolt open when they're empty.

I see you have the early war push button safty and 2 holes in upper handguard,late war rear sight and post war bayonet mount,very nice indeed!

damn good grouping!
