According to the blueprints it's an M1.  If you want to get real choosy on
what an M1 is, there's a buttload of Iver Johson "paratrooper" carbines made
during the late 1950's people believe are authentic.  The anomaly in this
market is the Karh Arms /Auto Ordnance Thompsons.  Auto Ordnance made so many
spare parts during WWII, new rifles are made of mostly "new old stock" parts
left over from WWII.
