Rock-Ola US M1 Carbine.
Very rare M1 carbine in mint condition coming from the Austrian Federal Police, the "Bundespolizei".
The Austrian Federal Police did not mark their M1 Carbine in any manner, so they are not identifiable from any other U.S. M1 carbine.
On the upper part of the barrel, back of the front sight, is marked the Rock Ola name.
Crossed Cannons and Augusta Arsenal stamped on the stock.
Historical references | |
Origin: |
The M1 carbine .30 caliber, a lightweight semi-automatic shoulder carbine that fired a .30-cal. cartridge ballistically comparable to a .357 mag. handgun cartridge, was a standard military firearm for the U.S. during World War II and then the Korean and Vietnam wars but also widely used by U.S. and foreign military, paramilitary and police forces. |
Rarity: |
Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corp., a firm largely known as producer of coin-operated jukeboxes, produced just 228.500 of the 6.3221.200 of M1 carbines ever made, so this relative rarity and the exclusive name make the value of Rock-Ola carbines more prized than others. |
