M1 Carbine Unboxing - Royal Tiger Imports - 1944 Inland Mfg. - Inter Ordnance out of Ethiopia Africa
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 21 июл 2020
- I just got my second shipment in from Royal Tiger Imports. This time I'm unboxing an American classic that has made its way back to the USA from Africa. These M1 Carbines were imported, along with a ton of other military surplus firearms, by Inter Ordnance. Unlike most of the other guns I've seen coming out of Ethiopia this rifle was actually in nice condition. It's a 1944 dated US Carbine Caliber 30 M1 produced by the Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors. The rifle came fairly clean, only needing a wipe down with some Ballistol. The bore is nice and shiny. The stock has some dents and dings but nothing major. The rifle was sold by RTI as good to very good condition and I would agree with that. I'm quite happy with my order but I was saddened to hear The State Department has blocked I.O. from bringing any more of these fantastic carbines back home for the foreseeable future. It looks like once the remaining rifles RTI have in stock are gone that's it. I'm glad I made the order when I did.
Thanks for Watching!

I was gonna say that does look like mold on the stock lol. These guns need a good home. thank god that they got these things out of those deplorable storage conditions in ethiopia and into the hands of caring collectors
Agreed. They are much better off being back home.
When my grandpa was in the police service in Alberta, Canada, they had about 10 of these carbines in storage for emergency. These guns have been around everywhere.
That's really cool. They would still be a solid police gun even today.
The M1 Carbine is a super iconic piece of military history. Thanks for sharing.
Yeah man. It's awesome and fun as heck to shoot!!
My Royal Tiger M1 Carbine (National Postal Meter) came yesterday and it is really nice. The stock shows a lot of good honest wear, but cleaned up nicely. The bore is bright and shinny with excellent rifling. The magazine that came with it was brand new (I wasn’t expecting that) it took me over half an hour to clean the cosmoline off. You were my inspiration to go ahead and order one and couldn’t be happier with it. Also ordered a 1896/11 Swiss from Edelweiss Arms, I never heard of them before, until I saw it on your
Glad I was able to help you find a couple of awesome rifles! RTI is always a dice roll but it seems like the M1s are the best they have.
Awesome little carbine! Thanks for posting!
That gun looked in great shape for its age. As always lots of great info. And very cool to see it shoot. Awesome job brother!
I love this little guy. It's a great gun. I'm trying to get more shooting footage for my gun videos. Thanks for checking it out brother!
You did good with that one. Looks pretty nice, even with wood dings. I liked your enthusiasm.
Wow that's a gem right there. Absolutely awesome video readiness and what a great find. Thanks for sharing brother. 😊👍
Yeah man I really couldn't be happier. It's a great piece for my collection. Thanks so much for watching my friend!
Nice video good job. I own 2 M1 carbines. One is a Standard Product, the other is a Quality Hardware. Both 1943. Lot of people underestimate these weapons. American history.
I sure love mine! Thanks for watching!!
I've had a lot of fun shooting my buddy's M1 Carbine. Very cool, buddy!
It's a super fun little shooter. I'm happy to have it in my collection and I didn't have to do a bunch or restoration work to it so that's a nice change. Thanks for your viewership my friend!
The M-1 Carbine is absolutely the most fun guy to shoot! Yours looks pretty nice.
They really are super fun!
Whats the hole in the stock for..?
Enjoying the unboxing vids keep it up.
Glad you like them!
Years ago I was pot shooting jack rabbits and coyotes with a carbine just like this unit on a big sheep farm, absolutely fantastic gun for quick follow up shots and very accurate considering the gun was heavily worn .
Looks like you scored a nice Carbine. I have an Iver Johnson Plainfield M1 Carbine I bought new back in 1979. It has always been reliable.
That's awesome! Glad yours has been good to you.
Love your content and beautiful gun
This is making me want to pull the trigger and buy one soo bad! I have a few other projects going, so I have to control myself! :) I really enjoy your videos and knowledge. Thank you.
I have no regrets buying this one. The prices have gone up so much since then though it would be really tough if I had to buy one now though. Thanks for checking the video out!
.30 Carbines, were fun rifles to shoot. I had one years ago. Wish I had held onto it. Mine was made by, Rockola. Now you know why I wish I still had it, LOL. Nicely done. Peace, John.
Apparently the magazine mine came with is a Rockola. I wish I would have gotten one of these years ago. They are so much fun to shoot! Thanks for watching the video my friend!
Great addition to your collection
I think so too! Thanks for giving it a look Leah!
Be wary of that disease, I've had it since the 70s, the tragic outcome is having no room for anything else, when u have so many u cant find the one your looking for😊. I got 2 1943 inland GM carbs for $149ea. If u dont take some meds for that illness the cannon & mortar bug mite hit as it did me. 10 cannons, 4 incompleat still & 5 mortars from 70mm to bowling ball. All in all it's my preferred illness😊
Great find buddy. We have a few M 1s in our family. Still reasonable affordable to shoot. Excellent review 👍
The ammo wont break the bank and they are fun as heck to shoot. I'm extremely happy to have one in my collection finally. Thanks for watching brother. I appreciate it!
Wow Very good shape. Someone cared for that piece. Nice shooting Tex!
It's a sweet shooter. I didn't have to work hard at all to put hits on target. Very happy with the condition. Thanks for watching buddy!
I laughed when I saw the mag floorplate almost went bye bye in the end XD
I know! LOL. After I finished shooting I was like..."what the heck?" The floorplate is on good now.
Looks like you finally got a halfway decent firearm from RTI and not one of their usual beaters. As always I enjoy your unboxing videos so keep them coming.
It's the best I've gotten from them for sure. From what I've seen their M1's are the best condition rifles they have. Thanks for the support, more to come!
Really cool video on an iconic rifle!
The reliability issues basically come down to three factors:
1. The recoil spring should be a bit stronger.
2. The magazines are pretty fragile.
3. The acceptable standards for reliability in the 1940s were very different from today. If a military weapon at the time malfunctioned about 3-5% of the time, that would often be acceptable.
Love your videos! Keep it up, man! :)
Thanks for watching brother!! This one has been very reliable with brass cased ammo
Great video, thanks for posting! Just a suggestion, always wear eye protection. Enjoy your M1!
Thanks for checking it out.
I was able to fire mine one handed. Extremely low recoil and excellent control. I would love to get another one as a general shooter sometime.
I recently picked up a 6-digit Inland at my lgs on consignment with the button safety, type 1 band, and L-type sight. Hurt the wallet, but still cheap (talked it down a bit) considering the great shape it's in. Prices are insane. Considering throwing a type 3 barrel band on it since I know a guy with a few spare bayonets.
That's awesome! I'd keep the band as is since you have such early features.
just got mine today pretty happy 1944 Quality Hardware with IBM barrel good to very good condition
Awesome!!!
I like where your channel is headed :)
I've been seeing some good growth recently. I really enjoy making the video and I'm always trying to make them better. Thanks for watching!!!!
🏆🏁The M-1 Carbine is about the most fun gun ever to shoot. I had an IBM and I used to say "I'm a master with an IBM" confusing everyone into thinking I was a computer wiz.
Very nice. Great shape.
I'm super happy with this one. Thanks Marilyn!!!
I'm from dayton Ohio and let me tell ya it's on my bucket list to get an inland m1 like this 😢 it's a crime I don't have one yet
I bought 5 carbines from RTI 3 inlands, 1 Underwood & 1 Winchester. The first 4 were from their initial offering. The Winchester is recent and was a lot dirtier than the first 4 but it cleaned up nice. The muzzle measurements are 0, 0+, 1, 1+, and the Winchester is a 2+. Not a loser in the bunch.
They seem to be the best rifles RTI has to offer.
excellent content
Glad you think so! Thanks so much!!
To get the best reliability you need to replace the recoil. Spring or all the springs clean it have a new usgi mag or a kci mag and lubes it a lot
Haven't had a spring related malfunction yet. Great info though. If I start having problems I'll try that stuff
Thx for the video looking for an M1
Glad I could help. Thanks for watching!!
Thank's... nice carbine an that magazine is a rock -ola ..R-O liked an subed ! Royal Tiger is great with the M 1 carbines.
Thanks for the sub and thanks for the info on the mag!
@@ReadinessReviews What download do you use to make your videos ?
@@STEVEOMEMES I use DaVinci Resolve to edit my videos.
looking Good
Thank you! Cheers!
I have 2 one a 1944 inland and a reproduction inland love these rifles
Very cool!
the Navy used the Carbine for shipboard security all the way thru Viet Nam.
I could see the serving well in that role.
Looks like a m2 bolt, bought my IBM for 150 maybe 30 years ago, no import marks
That was a fantastic purchase. I bet it seemed a little expensive at the time.
@@ReadinessReviews wish I would have bought ten of them, the big m1 at the time were 300, m14 with tack welded selectors 600, those were the days
Rockola Magazine ..Nice.
Cool beans 🙂
The bore seems better on it than most of the rifles that are coming from RTI
Almost certainly because M1 carbine ammo has always been non-corrosive, because of the gas system. Most everything else would’ve likely fired corrosive ammo and not cleaned properly.
The bore is in fantastic shape!
These look better than the Korean ones that came in the early 90's
I was pleasantly surprised by the condition. Glad I made the order when I did. Thanks for watching!
It looks like your rifle has the round M2 bolt. The M2 was the fully automatic version of the M1 Carbine. A lot of M2 bolts wound up on M1's.
Buy a set of Wolff springs for the M1 carbine for it. Allthough it looks like a good shooter, the old springs are on the end of there life.
Probably a good call. Thanks for watching!
Their...
I love my national postal meter.
I'd like to have one from each manufacturer eventually.
I wonder if this was for 1.4k+ because it comes from RTI, I managed to get my M1 carbine from 1943 for 1,130 on gunbroker
Hello what do you think about ordering from RTI? I am new to them and haven’t bought yet I keep getting mixed reviews
I've made 4 orders from them and they have been mostly positive experiences. They don't do a very good job packing the guns for shipping and expect what you are ordering to be well used and worn. These guns had a hard life.
@@ReadinessReviews awesome thank you I am planning on ordering a M1 carbine I live in Ohio I am wondering where they are from I seen Florida plus how long does it take to get to you?
What category did you order? Standard good-very good, or did you pay extra for very good-excellent?
When I bought mine "very good" was available for no extra money.
My first rifle was an m1 carbine given to me by a doctor who was in Korean and Vietnam war. Killed my first deer with it. The gas tubes wore through the gas block. Ppl love them but not one of my favorites.
That thing must have seen some serious use!
It sucks that more of these were made than Garands, yet they are more rare and expensive. Politicians preventing them from being re-imported is partially to thank for that (Obama, lookin' at you)
When they gonna find us some StG 44's?? So far as reliability and the MI Carbine I bought a civilian one once and it was a jamming reject. Returned it for an Iver Johnson. Fired no more then a few hundred rounds and many years larter traded it off to a guy who reported that within ten rounds at his first range visit the bolt broke to pieces. I was shocked and could hardly believe it but it was confirmed by a third party. And then there was the WWII Marine I worked with who saw action on Iwo Jima. He reported that the MI carbine was a jamming piece of junk. Maybe that's not a good over all view but with what I have seen and heard I won't own another one.
Yeah it's always been reported as having questionable reliability. The USGI don't see to be all that bad though. I wish they would find some STG 44's or even G43's.
How do you tell the date on an Enfield? I have a no. 4 mark 2 but tried looking up the serial number to no avail
I don't have an Enfield book unfortunately. You have to decode the serial number. I asked a Facebook group to decode mine.
Can you get SKS rifles at a decent price from Royal imports? Is a c&r worth getting?
Check out Bud's guns for a SKS. I'd certainly say the C&R is worth it. You only need to buy 1-2 guns every 3 years for it to pay for itself.
That being said the market isn't what it was so finding said guns can be difficult.
Doesn’t the CMP sell those too? Maybe they are sold out. Anyhoo, that’s something I always wanted to shoot.
They don't have them anymore unfortunately. I think Korea still has a bunch that may come back to the CMP at some point in the future but they way things are going it doesn't look like it'll be anytime soon. Thanks so much for watching brother!
Serial number indicates it was made in October to December of 1944.
Yup yup. I checked it out after the video.
Far from VG condition. Thats fair to good. There are tons of M1 Carbines out there that were never used that are considered VG.
I'm happy with it regardless
You got type 2 rear sights, a little more uncommon
I noticed the knob looked a little different. Thanks for the info!
How exactly do you get firearms from RTI? They say you have to have a FFL, but isn’t that for selling firearms?
So you must have the firearm you are buying shipped to a local FFL holder so they can transfer it to you. If you are a FFL03 licence holder they can send guns right to you the same way they do me. They also have antique firearms on their site. No FFL is needed for those you just need to be 21 and send your ID to them.
Do you have to be 21 to order from RTI in general?
@@matthewreviews6019 I'm not sure about that one. For long guns it should be 18 so it would make sense to me that they would be okay with it if you were doing a FFL pick-up. You need to be 21 to do a C&R licence though because you can buy both long guns and hand guns with it.
Readiness Reviews ok, thank you very much!
Should have bought one when they were $50
Wasn't alive..
@@ReadinessReviews I should have...
The m1 carbine round is compared to the 357 magnum.
Looks like a Winchester stock
It is. Good eye.
How did you clean your stock?
For this one I just gave it a good rub down with ballistol. I usually do more but this rifle didn't need it.
Stock is Winchester.
Good eye brother! Thanks for watching!!
How did it shoot? I have wanted one of these for some time. But the fear is paying all that money for something that cant hit the broad side of a barn? Plus once i get it i cant shoot it after test firing or it starts to drop the value. I would buy a historical one to wallhang it while wanting a much cheaper one or reproduction i can shoot without devaluing the historcal one? lol
a thousand dollars? damn
More like 820 but still not cheap.
I guess it's pretty hot and dry in Ethiopia.
Most of the guns coming out of there aren't nearly this nice
@@ReadinessReviews these are all short vetterli carcanos that are being imported, right?
@@jeromelawson7782 I.O. has been importing a huge variety of different rifles from there.
There is a screw missing
Nope I just removed it and didn't put it back before filming that clip
So far, the M1 Carbines seem to be the only good product out of this Ethiopian haul. Everything else has been beat up and shot out relics at GunBroker prices (for better condition examples).
Everything else was used with corrosive ammo
I do agree the prices are on the high side but I figure it's better to go ahead and get them while they are available. It's not like they are going to get any cheaper. The bore on my No.4 didn't look too bad and the one on my Vz52 was dang near mint. It's all a roll of the dice with RTI. So far I've been lucky. Thanks for watching!!
Timmy from WKUK?
Sorry dude. I don't know who/what that is.

Your voice is a dead ringer.
You might already have one but unless you have three hands do yourself a favor and get one of these bolt tools for bolt maintenance. Even then disassembly and assembly of the bolt is a pain. Trust me. Mine is a GM Inland 1943.
www.apexgunparts.com/us-m1-carbine-bolt-tool-new.html
Taking that bolt down was a total pain. Thanks man!
@@ReadinessReviews No problem. This tool makes it "less" painful. The bolt take down is truly a nightmare. The only thing that comes close is the firing pin take down on a Walther P38 slide. The dust cover will give you fits. BTW, do not put your mag springs in wrong. You will regret it. The spring end actually faces to the rear. Not forward.

wow change that intro, that blew out my ear drums. And it's too intense for the content.
First bad thing I've heard about the intro
Well now I feel bad. It’s a fine intro just unexpected. Good content though. And I’m really jealous of your M1 Carbine, those are illegal in NJ where I live. Doesn’t make any sense, I have a Garand, and I’m allowed a Springfield M1a but the old WWII m1 carbines are illegal.
I've been checking out your stuff for a bit now, and I like the stuff you put out. I'm actually running a gun channel in North Florida that is pretty similar to your own haha
One of my projects that I'm working on, is actually making an inner circle for us smaller gun channels. Seems like the larger channels all seem to know each other, so should we.
Check out my own channel, so I don't just seem like a stranger on the internet. I would love if we were to set up some sort of collaboration, or at least share some knowledge and experience with each other.
Very interesting. I'll check your channel out!
@@ReadinessReviews Keep me posted on your thoughts
When you sound like Mickey Mouse
How much did your Inland cost? Shoe
It was like 860 I think. They have gone up so much since then.
@@ReadinessReviews I hear that...prices are way up....nice Inland have one too love shooting it....Shoe
I killed my first deer with one
How much did you actually paid, ball park figure.
It was around 860
I keep seeing too many igregious fuck ups to order from these guys
I can understand that. I've been pretty lucky so far though.
@@ReadinessReviews i wish you continued good luck in the futur purchases then :)
@@inhumanfilth681 Thanks!!
They be selling this rifle way overpriced!!! Thank you I’ll pass...
I think I made out pretty well getting mine on sale for less than 850
@@ReadinessReviews you did that’s very good for the price
Way too much money
Uh, you do know 1,200 is about the going rate now right? I got this one for less than 9
@@ReadinessReviews sorry man I love the historical weapons myself but...for that money you can have a nice AR15..
900 is cheap. 3 out of my 4 m1 carbine i paid 1200 to 3000$ each for them. My 4th m1 carbine is actually an m2 carbine full auto. It was an gift from my father. It been in my family possession since 1984.
