This carbine is a faithful reproduction of the late-war M3 variant, updated for modern optics with its Picatinny scout rail handguard while retaining period-correct features such as the Type 3 barrel band with bayonet lug.
The 18-inch chrome-lined National Match barrel is paired with a 1:20 RH twist, delivering Fulton Armory’s 3-MOA accuracy guarantee. A short-stroke gas piston system keeps recoil mild and operation reliable.
Oil-finished American walnut stock and handguard carry a boxed cartouche, honoring WWII production markings. The matte parkerized finish on both barrel and receiver provides corrosion resistance and a historically appropriate look.
Protected-blade front and dual-aperture adjustable rear sights replicate original GI sighting, while the scout rail allows rapid mounting of modern optics without altering the receiver.
