Description
9/23/20 – This is a rare Saginaw Gear (S’G’ or S-Prime, G-Prime) M1 Carbine from late 1943 or early 1944.It’s tough to narrow exact production numbers as many S’G’ primes were also used in the Irwin-Pedersen assembly, but no more than roughly 2.5% of total WW2 M1 Carbine production was done at the Grand Rapids plant of Saginaw Gear.This one is in good condition and has largely original/correct Saginaw and Irwin-Pedersen parts.Full parts guide is included in the photos.The finish is excellent but we do believe it was re-parkerized at some point on the receiver and barrel.Barrel is dated to September of 1943. Nearly all of the parts are S’G’ or IP marked and the barrel is correctly Underwood produced.The stock is SG with crossed cannons cartouche.Minty bore.
