Deactivated WW2 M1 Carbine and M1 Garand: Gotta love the Americans - the M1 Garand was first really succesfull big calibre semi auto of WW2 and the M1 Carbine was a scalled down simpler version firing a suprisingly potent round (the idea was it was light, accurate with reasonable range for officers and tankers to use more effectivly than a pistol). Perhaps the most common accessory used on the M1 carbine was a standard magazine belt pouch that was mounted to the right side of the stock and held two extra 15-round magazines. This field adaptation was never officially approved, but proved an efficient method to supply extra ammunition in combat.

Gotta love the Americans - the M1 Garand was first really succesfull big calibre semi auto of WW2 and the M1 Carbine was a scalled down simpler version firing a suprisingly potent round (the idea was it was light, accurate with reasonable range for officers and tankers to use more effectivly than a pistol). Both are classic WW2 pieces of kit, just check out the ones below: Wow, did we grab a batch of these when they came up - the much misunderstood American M1 carbine, serving with the US forces from `42 onwards when they realised the need for something small and light for officers and tankers - but better than a pistol - they came up with the M1 Carbine - surprisingly light and simple, they had plenty of stopping power from the .30 pistol cartridge, just not much after 100 yards or so - hence the reputation - still loads better than banging away with a pistol! These new-spec deactivated M1 carbines do not cock but have fully moving bolts and triggers, mag ejects and the gun strips - kinda got a lot of these so they`re out on special!!!Please check out the examples below:
Here's a excellent full wood stocked late 1943 deactivated M1 Carbine - really nice dark tone matching original woodwork with a few battle bruises, period stuff. This one comes with a period `42 dated sling and oiler, `42 date butt pouch and 2 spare 15 round mags with 3 inerts in each spare mag. New EU spec deactivation, mag ejects, trigger moves etc. and comes with correct EU certificate of deactivation.WW2 `43 deactivated M1 Carbine plus dated sling, butt pouch and 2 spare mags and inerts:

Just love this Garand - a WW2 relic dug up in Northern France, complete breach/barrel and top bolt, gas tube and lower section rotted away but thats all covered by the re-fitted woodwork so it looks almost complete (no trigger housing assembly, though maybe a repro set would fit?). No need to deactivate as its section 58 antique/curio 'deactivated by other means').

Here`s a great example of what an experienced re-enactor can do with a replica M1 Carbine. This all metal/wood replica cocks and dry fires but has been really well aged with a nice deep tone to woodwork and some gentle distressing to the metalwork - nothing over the top, to be honest, its pretty much impossible to tell the difference with this one and threal thing from close up yet alone a few metres away!.

Same as the above replica M1 Carbine but its the neat folding stock paratrooper version. Woodwork and metalwork has been nicely aged and really looks the part - cocks and dry fires as well. A real deal deactivated M1 Carine Para thats deactivated will set you back over £2k, so this ones a steal..

M1 Carbine Pouch Manufacturers
Accessories
M1 Carbine Ammo Belt
M1 Carbine Magazine Pouch
Leather Slings (Leder Gewehrriemen, Lederriemen, Leder Trageriemen)The Austrian Bundesheer used U.S. issue canvas slings provided as military assistance. The Bundespolizei and Gendarmerie used leather slings. Uniform leather gear used by the Bundespolizei was dyed black. For the Gendarmerie the leather was dyed brown. Leather gear used by the Austrian Gendarmerie post WWII was manufactured by Stolla of Vienna (Stolla Wien). Stolla had manufactured leather accessories for the Austrian Bundespolizei, Gendarmerie, and military since the 1920's. After the war the products they made for the military and police were restricted to those of Austria only. Stolla went out of business in 1970. The M1 carbine slings manufactured by Stolla for the gendarmerie were approximately .09-.180' thick, .97' wide , and 51-52' long. Original dimensions changed slightly with wear and use of the sling. The thicker slings did not fit through the stock's slingwell with the standard U.S. oiler (see below). Some can be made to work by softening the leather before feeding it around the U.S. oiler. The buckle was made using heavy gauge wire
Buckles made by Stolla were made using heavy gauge brass wire approximately 1.20' in diameter, 1.29-1.30' in height, and 1.15-1.16' wide.
Replacement OilersThe thickness of some of the leather slings prevent their use with a U.S. GI oiler. Some of these slings will work if treated with a leather softener. Some of the slings are simply too thick to work with the U.S. GI oiler. Plastic dowels smaller in diameter were cut to the length of the oilers and used by the gendarmerie. Leather Magazine Pouches (Leder Magazintasche or Patronen Tasche)Stolla also manufactured leather magazine pouches for use by the Austrian police and gendarmerie. Stolla pouches are marked Stolla Wien on the backside, have an adjustable strap for carrying the pouch on the carbine buttstock or uniform belt, and a flap that folds over the magazines and is secured by sliding a hole in the flap over a metal knob on the front of the pouch. Stolla manufactured a single 15 round magazine pouch and a pouch that held two 15 round magazines side by side. The polizei uniform leather was black. The Gendarmerie uniform leather was brown. The Bundesheer used the U.S. issue canvas magazine pouches. The Gendarmerie metal pouch trim designated the rank of the officer they were assigned too.
Not all of the leather gear for Austria's police and gendarmerie was manufactured by Stolla. The magazine pouches below do not have a manufacturer's imprint or mark and are not adjustable for the carbine stock, they were worn on the uniform belt only. The pouches below are identifiable as belonging to the Austrians by the markings under the flap. As can be seen in the pictures, the markings varied somewhat. Pouches from the same manufacturer may have been used in Germany.
Barrel Muzzle CapHarsh winter weather conditions led a number of European countries to find alternatives to cloth or metal muzzle caps for protecting rifle barrels from the elements. During WWII the Russians, and Germans on the eastern front, used a muzzle cap made of rubber that was designed to be shot through, or off, and later replaced. With the advent of plastics, a number of countries switched from rubber to plastic. The Austrians designed a plastic muzzle cap for the M1 carbine that served this same purpose. Rear Sight ProtectorsThese rear sight protectors for the U.S. adjustable rear sight have been found on U.S. M1 carbines utilized by Zoll Wache (Tariff Guards). They are constructed of a rubber coated metal plate on either side of the sight, overlapping the sight edges. They're held in place by a screw forward and aft of the sight adjustment.
These have not been observed on any other M1 carbines used by the other Austrian agencies. Ammunition (Patronen)Hirtenberger Patronen und Rohrwerke
Note: INTRAC received their M1 carbines from Austria in Hirtenberger munitions tubes, two carbines to a tube. Hirtenberger manufactures various large caliber ammunition for tanks, artillery, etc. Blank Ammunition (Knall Patronen)Südsteirischen Metallindustrie (South Steyr Metallurgy)
Dummy CartridgesGECO: Genschow Co. is now owned by the major ammunition manufacturing conglomerate RUAG Ammotec, based in Austria but with manufacturing facilities throughout Europe.
Cleaning Kit used by the Gendarmerie for the M1 carbineThe rifle cleaning kit for the German K98 rifle was introduced in 1934 and designated M34. The above User Manual indicates this was the same cleaning kit issued to the gendarme for cleaning the M1 carbine.Gendarmerie Karabiner M1 User ManualIn 1957 the Ministry of the Interior published a User Manual for the Gendarmerie. The manual is is approximately 3' wide x 4.5' tall with the front and back covers made from water resistant vinyl. The manual consists of 68 pages covering the operation, maintenance, use, disassembly and cleaning of the M1 carbine. Illustrations are high quality with photographs depicting the more important procedures.The inside cover of the below manual is stamped in ink with the date December 2, 1984 and the central Gendarmerie school in Mödling, in the state of Lower Austria.
Gendarmerie Karabiner M1 DrillIn 1959 the Ministry of the National Defense published a Training Regulation Manual for the Bundesheer. The manual is is approximately 3' wide x 4.5' tall with the front and back covers made from water resistant vinyl. The manual consists of 107 pages covering basic training regulations, including 3 pages of drill instructions for the M1 carbine. This training manual was also issued to the Gendarmerie.The inside cover of the below manual is stamped in ink with the date January 13, 1982 and the central Gendarmerie school in Mödling, in the state of Lower Austria.
Gendarmerie AlmanacThe Gendarmerie published an almanac every couple years. The below example is from 1958 and consists of 455 pages detailing command structure, Gendarmerie posts throughout the entire nation, and the personnel assigned to each of the posts. Some of the slings and/or ammo pouches have the names of the personnel and/or the serial numbers of the M1 carbines they carried. This almanac allows us to determine where an individual, and their M1 carbine, was assigned in Austria. The next almanac I could locate was for 1964.Research requests for individuals whose name is known are accepted by contacting me via the discussion forum.
