Notes:
ATTENTION MILITARY SURPLUS NERDS AND WORLD WAR II HISTORIANS!
UP FOR GRABS IS A GENUINE PIECE OF THE GREATEST GENERATION: A ROCK-OLA M1 CARBINE. YES, YOU READ THAT RIGHT. BEFORE THEY MADE JUKEBOXES THAT PLAYED ELVIS, THE ROCK-OLA MANUFACTURING CORPORATION MADE PISTOL-GRIP-SIZED FREEDOM DISPENSERS FOR THE US MILITARY. THIS IS THE ULTIMATE FLEX AT BOTH THE RANGE AND THE ANTIQUE ROADSHOW.
HERE IS THE RUNDOWN ON THIS HISTORIC JUKEBOX OF RAGE:
THE GOOD STUFF
GENUINE ROCK-OLA PRODUCTION: ONE OF THE RAREST AND MOST SOUGHT-AFTER WWII MANUFACTURERS. IT SHREDS TARGETS JUST AS GOOD AS IT SHREDS ROCK AND ROLL.
CHAMBERED IN .30 CARBINE: LOUDER THAN A FIRECRACKER, SOFTER RECOIL THAN A 12-GAUGE, AND INFINITELY COOLER THAN ANY MODERN AR-15.
VINTAGE WOOD FURNITURE: REAL AMERICAN WALNUT STRAPPED TO AN UPRIGHT AMERICAN RECIPIENT. IT SMELLS LIKE LINSEED OIL, HISTORY, AND VICTORY.
THE HONEST STUFF
SOME LIGHT WEAR: IT HAS SOME MINOR SCUFFS AND DINGS IN THE WOOD. LUCKILY FOR YOU, WE CALL THAT "PATINA." IT PROVES COMRADE BOB DID NOT JUST LEAVE IT IN A CLOSET FROM 1944 TO 2026.
NO ORIGINAL BOX: CARDBOARD BOX? GUY, THIS WAS ISSUED IN A CRATE FILLED WITH GREASE DURING DEPLOYMENT. IT WILL SHIP SAFELY ENCASED IN MODERN BUBBLE WRAP AND A DISCREET CARDBOARD BOX.
IF YOU WANT A RIFLE THAT WILL DRAW A CROWD EVERY SINGLE TIME YOU OPEN YOUR GUN CASE, THIS IS YOUR CHANCE TO OWN A RARE SLICE OF AMERICAN INDUSTRIAL HISTORY.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
