*DESIRABLE ROCK-OLA DCM M-1 CARBINE WITH BOX. SN 1720271. Cal. 30. With 18″ bbl. This M-1 carbine is very typical of the guns sold through the DCM program in the late 1950’s – early 1960’s. It is a Rock-ola barreled action with misc. parts as rebuilt by a government arsenal. The parts are listed as follows: Front sight is “RIA” marked with the Type 3 bbl band with bayonet lug being “SI” marked. Trigger housing is IBM with National Postal Meter small parts. The safety has been upgraded to a lever. Rifle is also equipped with a Type 2, milled rear sight and a late Inland round bolt that is parkerized. The stock is a low-wood with “U” with 2 dots to signify rebuilt at Underwood in the 1950’s, and also has the rack number “130” stenciled in yellow on the bottom of the pistol grip. Upper handguard is “MU” marked, and rifle is accompanied by a post-war sling and DCM box. Hard to find these. PROVENANCE: Tom Clinton Collection. CONDITION: Metal shows 98% of the arsenal-applied parkerizing, with the exception of the hammer, magazine catch and pins which are blue. Rifle retains a significant amount of packing grease from storage. Butt stock and handguard show near-excellent with only a couple of light rub marks. Sling shows good. Mechanics are near-excellent and rifle has a bright shiny bore. Box is in very good condition with some failed glue on a couple of the corners. “SW” marked magazine retains better than 95% blue. 4-37349 (1,500-2,500)
