qsy-complains-a-lot:M1 carbineDesigned by Winchester, Manufactured by Inland of General Motors c.1941-45 - serial number 496950..30 carbine 15-round removable box magazine, gas-operated semi-automatic, canvas magazine pouch on the stock.Despite outward similarities, the M1 carbine only shares its buttplate screws with the M1 Garand rifle. It was designed independently to equip support troops against rear-guard attacks by paratroopers -or ironically to equip paratroopers themselves- for whom the full size Garand was a hindrance. -- source link
