Since there were many companies that made M1s, it would depend on which company made it and when exactly it was made.
Iver Johnson made the semi auto carbine in .22cal from 1985-1990.They made the Magnum semi auto carbine in .22mag.from 1985-1990.They made the Plainsfield semi auto carbine in .30 carbine,or 9mm Para. from 1978-1993.During this time span they also made a Paratrooper semi auto carbine.I hope this helps.
Yes, and it was made by Winchester. BW is the Winchester code.
Nieuport, Sopwith, Fokker, DeHavilland, Bristol, Caproni, Vickers, and SPAD were some of the companies that made WW1 airplanes.
Depends on who made it.
It was made in 1881.
I don't see why not. The problem is this: Is the carbine USGI or aftermarket. Generally under the rear sight there will be the maunfacturers name stamped. GM inland division, Singer sewing machine, rock-ola, and other companies made them. Most of them were made by civilian companies under government contract. They made several MILLION of them and if your is a 6 digit serial number, it ought to be worth a little more than, say one with a 7 digit serial number.
International Business and Machine Corporation made this certain carbine in Late April or May 1944. It sounds like a great original Carbine.
Daisy made a model 94 Carbine from 1954 - 1962, they also made a model 111 western carbine from 1963-1978. I can find no information on a Red Ryder 1938 carbine. However the 1938 Red Ryder is still in production.
If you have a model 1894 winchester?,it was made in 1989.
Winchester made the M-1 Carbine for the Federal Goverment from Sept.1942 thru August of 1945.
The QUAU H.M.C. on the gun stands for Quality Hardware Manufacturing Company which was one of the companies producing M1 carbines. Quality Hardware made about 360,000 carbines for the US Army during World War 2 times. The serial number of the gun would date its production to a period of time between September 1943 and May 1944. This info was taken from J.C. Harrison's "Collecting The M1 Carbine III" which has a list of carbine manufacturers and serial numbers by date.
