Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine Paratrooper | .30 Carbine | 18″ | AOM150

The Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine Paratrooper is a reproduction-style semi-automatic rifle chambered in .30 Carbine with an 18-inch barrel and a folding walnut stock. It pairs period-correct styling—walnut handguard and wood grip—with a black parkerized metal finish and flip-style rear sight. For a practical optic under $1,000 that complements the rifle’s intended use and sight radius, consider a low-power variable like the Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 for clear, durable glass without exceeding the rifle’s classic profile.

Applications: recreational target shooting and historical collection/use (reenactment or display).
