The Auto-Ordnance M1 .30 Caliber carbine is produced in Kahr’s state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Worcester, MA. All Auto-Ordnance carbines are produced using newly manufactured parts on high precision computerized machinery.
Each Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine is a faithful reproduction of the famous military rifles that served American forces beginning in World War II. Each rifle has a Parkerized finish, American Walnut stock, 15 round magazine (10 rounds where required by law), 18” barrel, and flip-style rear sight. Our “Paratrooper” model has a folding metal stock, and wood pistol grip.
Markings include the following: Auto-Ordnance, Worcester, MA behind the rear sight; U.S. Carbine, Cal. 30 ML on the receiver in front of the bolt; and the serial number is engraved on the left side of the receiver.
*Disclaimer: Colors vary between batches. As with original military rifles, the upper handguard on the M1 Carbine varies in the dimensions and exact shape of the wood on each firearm. The groove in the top of the handguard may not be perfectly centered. As a result, when viewed in relation to the sights, it may create the appearance that the sights are not aligned straight. This is an optical illusion caused by the tilt and cut of the upper handguard. All M1 Carbine sights are properly aligned when installed at the factory.
