The Auto-Ordnance AOM150 M1 Carbine Paratrooper delivers authentic WWII firepower in a compact, foldable package designed for modern shooters. This faithful reproduction combines historical accuracy with practical features that make it suitable for collectors, recreational shooters, and tactical applications. The folding stock configuration reduces overall length for transport and storage while maintaining the classic M1 Carbine performance characteristics.
What Makes This Different

The black parkerized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to original wartime phosphate coatings. Auto-Ordnance manufacturing ensures parts interchangeability with original GI components while incorporating modern quality control standards.Key Features
