Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors was organized in 1922 and manufactured wood wrapped steering wheels. The Inland division utilized the buildings that once belonged to the Dayton Wright Airplane Company. Inland Division of General Motors was one of nine contractor–established manufacturing facilities that tooled up and turned out M1 carbines during WWII and was considered one of the nation’s best effort of ordnance manufacturing during the war. In September 1941, Inland began producing the M1 Carbine, and manufactured most of the tooling that was used by other companies building the M1 Carbine.
By 1942, Inland was in full production of the M1 Carbine. Inland became one of the most important divisions of General Motors supporting the war effort building not only M1 Carbines, they also manufactured sights for anti–aircraft cannons, tank tracks, and aircraft components as well. By the end of 1945, Inland had produced over two and a half million carbines. The M1 carbine and the variations, including the M1A1 paratrooper model, which were exclusively manufactured by Inland are some of the most collectable samples of the iconic little rifle. In total, Inland contributed the following to the war effort: (1,984,189) M1 Carbines, (140,000) M1A1 Carbines, (500,00) M2 Carbines, (811) M3(T3) Carbines, (4,000,000) rubber and metal tank shoes, and Gun sights and Shoulder rests for Oerlikon 20mm anti–aircraft cannons.
The M1 carbine (formally the United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1) is a lightweight semi-automatic carbine that was a standard firearm for the U.S. military during World War II, the Korean War and the Vietnam War. The M1 carbine was produced in several variants and was widely used by paramilitary and police forces around the world, and also became a popular civilian firearm after World War II. The M2 carbine is the selective-fire version of the M1 carbine, capable of firing in both semi-automatic and full-automatic. The M3 carbine was an M2 carbine with an active infrared scope system.
Despite having a similar name and physical outward appearance, the M1 carbine is not a carbine version of the M1 Garand rifle. On July 1, 1925, the U.S. Army began using the current naming convention where the "M" is the designation for "Model" and the number represents the sequential development of equipment and weapons. Therefore, the "M1 carbine" was the first carbine developed under this system. The "M2 carbine" was the second carbine developed under the system, etc.
