Description
Original Inland M1 Carbine Type II Trigger Housing Assembly
This is an authentic Type II M1 Carbine trigger housing assembly produced by Inland Division of General Motors, the largest contractor of M1 Carbines during World War II. This complete U.S. GI unit represents a transitional wartime configuration, used widely in mid- to late-war production and field upgrades.
The Type II housing is distinguished by its milled construction, rounded front lugs, and revised safety slot, introduced to improve interchangeability and durability under battlefield conditions. This assembly includes the trigger housing, hammer, trigger, magazine catch, safety, and sear—all original U.S. military parts, with many components bearing Inland-specific markings or machining characteristics.
Inland’s M1 Carbines were fielded extensively across all theaters of WWII, from Normandy to the Pacific. By mid-war, the Type II housing had become the standard, balancing efficient production with rugged performance. Today, Inland-marked Type II trigger groups are essential for historically accurate restorations or for upgrading mixed carbines to their correct period configuration.
This housing is fully functional and ready to install on any standard M1 Carbine. Whether you’re completing a proper Inland build, sourcing authentic WWII parts, or restoring a rifle to mid-war spec, this component is a must-have for collectors and shooters alike.
