1943 Quality Hardware Manufacturing Company M1 Carbine
This is a rare WWII Quality H.M.C. U.S. M1 Carbine in very good condition. Includes sling and magazine. Only about 6% (359,666) of total M1 Carbine production were manufactured by Quality Hardware. This one is Serial #1935808 and as shown in the listing below, that puts it in June 1943. The barrel is marked Buffalo Arms 9-43, Front Sight is Rock-Ola. The internals are not all Quality HMC but everything is in good working condition. Barrel looks good. Parkerized finish is in really good condition. There are no import marks anywhere, rifle or wood so it appears to have stayed in the U.S. its entire life.
This is a great specimen of an M1 Carbine and should appreciate in value given the condition.
