Yes its possible, but the M1A1 Carbine was only used by Army paratroops in Europe and the grenade launching device had considerable length and was complicated to install to the muzzle, most M1A1 carbines werent seen with grenade launching devices, though a few did exist.
However, on the other hand, the M1 Carbine (the M1A1's cousin) was used by standard infantry and marines, and were issued grenade launching devices more commonly than the M1A1s being used by paratroops in Europe, though they were still rare to see, since the M1 carbine want really a frontline weapon, and more of the personal defence weapon for non-combat personel behind the frontlines, and having a grenade launcher on them was kind of silly and unneeded.
