*M-1 CARBINE WITH JOHNSON BAYONET ASSY. SN 1706060. Cal. 30. 18″ bbl. This appears to be a 1943 /44 Rock-ola receiver with all Inland components of the period installed on it, which has had the front of the bbl slightly turned and had a 1941 Johnson bayonet lug installed on it. Where this took place I do not know, but it is in the period of when they would have been experimenting with bayonet attachments on this rifle. It appears a very unique and probably “one of” feature that would fit well in a very extensive carbine collection. Rifle is equipped with a flip sight and Type 1 bbl band and also features a low-wood Inland stock and 2-rivet handguard. It is also accompanied by a Type 3 sling with all of the metal components being a high-polish blue. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Rifle retains approx. 95-97% of the orig dark gray parkerized finish, with the exception of the bbl having a more polished black finish in front of the bayonet lug, where it appears to have been taken down on a centerless grinder to make the bayonet attachment fit. Butt stock and handguard show very good plus, with “IO” on both components, with only light scuffing present and the crossed cannons on the right side of the stock. Accompanying Johnson bayonet and scabbard show good condition overall, with some finish wear on the bayonet and minor scuffing on the scabbard. Mechanics are crisp and bore is bright and shiny. 4-37327 BK19 (2,000-4,000)
