Dayton, OH – Chiappa Firearms USA, Ltd., a market leading brand of rifles, shotguns, handguns and historic replica muzzleloaders is pleased to provide the public a nostalgic and classic shooting experience with the M1-22 and M1-9. Chambered in 22LR and 9mm respectively, these handy rifles are near identical facsimiles of the one of WWII’s most famous small arms, the M1 Carbine.
The M1-22 creates the look and feel of the venerable USGI M1 Carbine but chambered in the inexpensive and easy to shoot .22lr. A great .22 rimfire rifle in its own right, the M1-22 has the exact overall dimensions as the original M1 Carbine adding the fun and attractiveness of this capable rimfire. Available with either a wood or polymer stock, they are interchangeable with genuine M1 Carbines. Each M1-22 comes two 10 round magazines.
The M1-9 is nostalgic, fun and practical. This handy, easy to shoot rifle has the same overall dimensions, trigger groups design and sights as the original, but is chambered in the affordable and readily available 9mm Luger. The receiver has a 3/8″ dovetail machined into the receiver, and dovetail-to-Picatinny adapters are also included for mounting optics. The straight blowback design makes the M1-9 ultra-reliable and easy to clean and maintain. Cartridges are fed from standard Beretta® M9/92 magazines. Two 10 round magazines are included with each M1-9.
Both the M1-22 and M1-9 have a trigger group and safety patterned after the original with a look and operation exactly the same. Like the original, Chiappa Firearms’ M1 rifles have a sliding rear sight and winged front sight, as well as a 3/8″ dovetail machined on top of the front and rear receiver rings. Picatinny mount adapters are also included.
