According to the M1 Carbine book by J.C. Harrison page 163 "No original M1 had the bayonet lug". Harrison writes, these were produced by Inland only from 1942 to 1944. This carbine has an 18" Inland barrel dated 11/42, which would have been the earliest date of manufacture for a Paratrooper Model. This post-WWII rebuilt and reparkerized example does have the bayonet lug. Pistol grip has the proof "P", left side of stock has "RIA" and "EB" in a square (cartouche). According to the book on page 164, the Inland M1 with the bayonet lug is a post World War II field replacement stock on an arsenal upgrade carbine. This would also explain the double inspectors and the reparkerized finish with light barrel stamp. The folding stock is all original per the book and is a highwood stock cut down during rebuild. Buttplate has the part number cast in the metal. Nut plate is correct. All other aspects of the rig are original manufacture. Excellent bore and action. A fine example of a post-World War II field replacement para-trooper carbine, arsenal re - build. High wood stock converted to low wood during re - build.
