Hi there

The M1 carbine by TANAKA effectively sports all the very late war (and post WW2) upgrades…

The rear sight should be a simple flips sight but has the later / post war graduated sights.

The safety should be a simple push button but is a small post war lever.

The stock is the ‘low wood pot belly’ type and the top hand guard has four rivet holes (wartime hand guards had just two).

The later version barrel band and bayonet lug was only seen very, very late WW2 and likely didn’t see any action in North West Europe.

The question is how easily the parts may be able to be swapped out to make a Tanaka carbine a little more ‘WW2’…

Has anyone tried?

Cheers

Pete
