The Inland M1 1944 .30 Caliber Semi-Auto Carbine with Wood Stock (Model ILM140) is an American-made reproduction of one of the most iconic compact rifles ever fielded. Built by Inland Manufacturing in the USA, this semi-automatic carbine captures the spirit of the original M1 carbine that served through World War II and beyond—delivering classic handling and proven reliability in a package that works equally well for historical enthusiasts, sport shooters, and hunters who appreciate a lightweight, handy rifle. The .30 carbine round offers moderate recoil and sufficient power for varmint hunting and target work out to practical ranges.
What sets the 1944 model apart is its Type 2 barrel band and 10-round magazine capacity, making it compliant for sale in states with magazine restrictions while maintaining the authentic look and feel of the original design. The wood walnut stock, adjustable rear sights, and round bolt are faithful to the historical pattern, yet this is a modern semi-auto rifle built to modern standards. At just 5 pounds 3 ounces and 35.75 inches overall length, the M1 1944 is genuinely handy in brush or timber, with an 18-inch barrel that balances velocity retention and maneuverability. The 4-groove barrel with a 1×20 twist rate is optimized for .30 carbine ammunition.
Whether you're drawn to the rifle for its storied heritage, its practical utility as a compact ranch or truck gun, or its appeal as a collectible semi-auto, the Inland M1 1944 delivers authentic design without the collector's premium of original military issue. It's a no-frills, American-made carbine that respects its lineage.

The 1944 model features a Type 2 barrel band and 10-round magazine, while the 1945 model uses a different barrel band and higher-capacity magazine. Both share the same core controls, sights, and wood furniture. The 1944 configuration makes it a good choice for compliance in states with magazine capacity restrictions.
Yes. The .30 carbine round and 18-inch barrel make this carbine practical for hunting varmints and small to medium game at moderate distances. Its light weight and short length also make it handy for brush hunting or as a truck gun on the ranch.
The rifle ships with a 10-round magazine and bayonet lug, consistent with the 1944 specification. Always verify current local laws regarding magazine capacity and bayonet lugs in your state before purchase or use.
The .30 carbine is a moderate-power intermediate round—less powerful than full-rifle cartridges like .308 Winchester or .30-06, but more than typical handgun rounds. It suits target shooting, training, and hunting varmints or small game at practical ranges up to several hundred yards, depending on the game and your skill.
