Our Assessment: This National Ordnance M1 Carbine was made in California sometime between late 1962 and 1968. It uses a National Ordnance receiver & a National Ordnance barrel. This National Ordnance M1 Carbine was built with a lot of USGI parts including the stock. This is a good looking M1 Carbine with a bright bore. It should be a lot of fun at the range and has enough U.S. markings to make it worth collecting. Good luck.
