USM1 A1 Carbine, weathered look

This reproduction of the mythical American carbine in its version with folding butt and intended for the historical reenactment. Without any mechanism, the cocking lever and the magazine (supplied) are nonetheless removable. It can not fire any projectiles. The butt, foldable as at the WWII time, allows to distribute it to the paratroopers, the weapon being less bulky during the jumps. However, this rifle has been distributed to many other US military personnel, not just paratroopers, including officers or engineers.
