In '63 we were still using the M1 Carbine. We had more then necessary so instead of retrofitting them, many for one reason or other were deemed to be not fit for military service and were transferred to the DCM (the forerunner of the CMP) to sell to NRA members.

One of the major causes of one deemed unfit was the lack of a bayonet lug.

Judging from your picture, that's why it went to the DCM/NRA.

Looks like you have a winner.
