My father passed away earlier this year and I inherited his M1 Carbine. It's manufactured by Inland with a six digit serial number of 4908XX. It has a underfold stock, wood stock and pistol grip and, a flash suppressor. He's had this M1 since I was a very young kid and I'm not sure if he brought it back from Korea or where he purchased it from. I haven’t seen this type (the configuration with the underfold and pistol grip) of M1 before. He was in the Rangers during the Korean War.
I have attached a couple of photos so you can see the carbine. Can anyone advise what you believe the history might be of this Carbine? Thanks.
