Hey so I have a USM1 carbine with a serial number 3736###,
+
It says IBM corp, above the SN just under the rear sight.
+
that means that
=
Manufacturer Serial # Start Serial # End Date Start Date End # Produced
International Business Machine Corp. 3663000 3899999 Jan 44 Mar 44 237000
(x-ref http://uscarbinecal30m1.com/ProductionGraph.aspx)

My M1 was made between January 1944 and March of 1944. Is this unique? Special, or by any means rare?
Or do I have a pretty common M1 Carbine?
 
IBM made almost 350,000 m1 carbines so not rare unless its a AO (auto ordinance subcontract receiver) and even then not super rare all parts must be correct for collectability

Its a common ww2 rifle fun to shoot
