Rack Grade Carbines have been refinished and rebuilt at least once and will exhibit in most cases varying degrees of wear on many parts. All the carbines have late features such as, adjustable sights (heavily staked) with bayonet lug bands and rotary safeties. Metal parts are mixed USGI. There are no carbines with early features. All are mechanically sound with good headspace. Bores will have some heavy pitting and exterior finish may show significant wear and some surface pitting. Muzzle will gauge over a three (3) on gauge. All of the carbines we have are returns from one of several countries and may have USGI walnut, birch, or other foreign replacement wood. Stocks may be M2 type pot belly. Wood may have seen heavy use, may or may not have original cartouches and may have foreign markings. Wood is sound, but will have dings, dents, gouges and cracks that do not affect the function of the carbine. Metal may have some foreign markings. Carbines in this grade show considerably more use and wear than the service grade.

Manufacturer selection only guarantees the receiver was produced by the manufacturer listed. The barrel and the other parts may have been produced by other manufacturers.

** "BAVARIA MARKED" CARBINES **
In the months after the end of WWII, the Allied Occupation Forces needed the assistance of the German police to maintain order and enforce the laws pertaining to the German population. In October 1945 the Allied Control Council for Germany issued a directive that allowed for rearming the German police. The directive required the weapons they were armed with must not be of German manufacture, and must be marked in a manner that would make the weapons readily identifiable as to which agency they were issued too.

Office of Military Government Bavaria ordered their M1 Carbines to be marked in English on top of the receiver to the left of the bolt, with the type of agency the weapon was issued too; BAVARIA RURAL POLICE, BAVARIA FORESTRY POLICE, BAVARIA BORDER POLICE, BAVARIA GAME WARDEN, BAVARIA PRISON GUARD, and BAVARIA MUNICIPAL POLICE.



Further information in regards to the history of the Bavarian carbines can be found at can be found here: http://www.bavarianm1carbines.com/cmp.html

Austrian (LGK) Markings: Between 1955 and 1957 Austria received thousands of U.S. M1 carbines from the American Military Assistance Program. Austria divided these carbines between the Bundesheer (military), Bundespolizei, and Gendarmerie (rural police). Only the Gendarmerie marked them, on the bottom of the trigger housings using the letters LGK to identify the Gendarmerie command, along with one or two letters that identified the Austrian State that they were issued too (e.g. LGKV, LGKK, LGKT, LGKST, etc). The Gendarmerie also purchased thousands of carbines from the German state of Bavaria.

** M1A1 PARATROOPER CARBINES **
The CMP has a acquired a relatively small quantity of M1A1 paratrooper
carbines. Approximately 140,000 of these carbines were made by Inland from
late 1942 to late 1944. They are quite scarce today and original examples
have not been offered for sale for several decades.

While these carbines have been inspected and are complete and serviceable,
they have seen considerable use over the past 60+ years. Many show stock
repairs and signs of refinishing and rebuilding. Leather may be scuffed or
may be torn. Wire stocks may have replaced leather or rivets.

All of these carbines have Inland barreled receivers. Most have Inland bolts
but will have mixed USGI parts. None have the early flip sights, and late
features will predominate. Bores are free of pits and gauge under "3" on a
muzzle gauge. Most of these carbines are still coated in grease or other
preservative and will require a thorough cleaning.

Because of their scarcity, these carbines will be offered for sale through
our auction site at http://auction.odcmp.com.

The carbines have been all been graded as service grade and separated into
three categories:

ITEM #	DESCRIPTION	PRICE	AVAILABILITY
____	M1A1 High Wood		CMP auction only
____	M1A1 Low Wood		CMP auction only
____	M1A1 European Wood		CMP auction only

Low Wood USGI (dark walnut). Some may be cut down from high wood. Most will
have stock repairs such as screws, pins or patched wood. Wire stock is USGI.

High Wood USGI (dark walnut). Most will have stock repairs such as screws,
pins or patched wood. Wire stock is USGI.

European Wood (replacement). Wood is light tan in color, resembling
beechwood. All are low wood profile and most are in excellent condition. A
few may have stock repairs. Wire stock is USGI.
