serial #4197091, 30 Carbine, 18'' Marlin barrel with a bright very good plus bore with some pinprick pitting at the muzzle and strong rifling throughout. The metal surfaces of this 3rd serial number block carbine retain about 97-98% dark gray-green Parkerized finish with touches of silvering on high edges, light operational wear on the bolt, and some scattered light handling marks. The M2 walnut stock and 4-rivet handguard are in very good condition as arsenal refurbished with some light dings on the forend and toe line, and the inside of the sling cut showing areas of relieved wood. The stock is stamped with a strong boxed ''(star) / FAT / 76'' Italian rework mark on the left side, otherwise appearing unmarked. The receiver and barrel markings are intact and clear, and the marked parts all appear to be either NPM or Underwood manufactured, correct for this carbine. The carbine has been updated with a milled adjustable rear sight, the Underwood-marked front sight showing a 1/4'' crack on the underside of the barrel, and a Type III barrel band with bayonet lug, and features a flat bolt and rotary safety. Included is a single Parkerized, IS-marked, 15-round magazine showing spots of light oxidation on the right side. A collectible M1 carbine, having seen service with our Italian allies post-WWII.
