Inland M1 1944 .30 Caliber Semi-Auto Carbine with Wood Stock - Model ILM140
Inland Manufacturing
The Inland M1A1 Paratrooper .30 Caliber semi-auto carbine brings authentic Cold War–era handling into the modern shooter's hands. This .30 Carbine rifle is built on the design of the late-production 1944 M1A1 Paratrooper model—the same compact, handy platform that saw service with airborne troops—and manufactures it right here in the USA. If you want a piece of American rifle history that you can actually shoot, or you're drawn to the ergonomics and reliability of the M1 Carbine platform, the Inland M1A1 delivers both nostalgia and genuine utility.
What sets this rifle apart is Inland's commitment to authenticity. The walnut furniture—stock, handguard, and Type Two barrel band—mirrors the original production details, down to the cartouche marks and stampings that made each Inland carbine unique. The folding wire stock collapses for storage or close-quarters work, while the adjustable rear sight (a feature introduced in 1944) lets you dial in your shot from close range to distance. At just over 5 pounds and collapsing to 25.75 inches, it's a natural for hunting, sport shooting, or simply exercising a genuinely historical platform.
The 15-round magazine capacity gives you practical firepower for the range or field, and the semi-automatic action is reliable and familiar to anyone who's handled an M1 Carbine. Whether you're a collector who wants to shoot what you own, a hunter looking for a lightweight, handy rifle in .30 Carbine, or a shooter who appreciates purpose-built American firearms history, the Inland M1A1 Paratrooper is a serious choice—not a safe queen.

It's modeled closely on the late-production 1944 M1A1 Paratrooper. Inland has paid careful attention to period-correct details including the walnut furniture, Type Two barrel band, and adjustable sights that were standard on 1944–1945 production. You'll see the same cartouche marks and stampings that appeared on original Inland Carbines. It's not a museum piece—it's a shooter's tribute to the original.
The M1A1 comes with one 15-round magazine. This is the standard capacity for the platform.
When folded, the overall length is 25.75 inches, making it very compact for storage, transport, or close-quarters handling. Extended, it reaches 35.75 inches. The folding design is one of the defining features of the Paratrooper variant.
The .30 Carbine is a moderate-power round suitable for hunting medium game and sport shooting. It's less powerful than full-size rifle cartridges, but in the right hands it's plenty effective within typical engagement ranges. It's also becoming easier to find as interest in the M1 Carbine platform has grown.
