PEARL RIVER, New York -The AOM 150 Paratrooper Auto-Ordnance M1 Carbine is a .30 caliber rifle with a walnut stock and folding buttstock. The barrel is 18" and the overall length of the gun can be compacted from its open length of 35 ¾ inches down to 25 ¾ inches when folded. It also comes equipped with a blade front sight and flip style rear sight. The Auto-Ordnance AOM150 Paratrooper is durable and lightweight weighing in at only 5 pounds 6 ounces, making it easy to shoot. The Auto-Ordnance AOM150 Paratrooper model retails for $965.00 and is shipping now.

The M1-Carbine is still in use today by many civilian shooters and police. The AOM150 Paratrooper's inherent accuracy, combined with a diminished risk of over-penetration due to its round-headed comparatively lightweight projectile, is considered to be of tactical use in urban areas where civilians may be on the other side of walls.

Since 1999, Kahr Arms has been proud to support the legacy of the Auto-Ordnance Corporation. The Auto-Ordnance division of Kahr Arms began production of a M1 Carbine replica in 2005. The paratrooper model is based off of the original M1 Carbine. The M1 Carbine came into popularity during WWII, offering troops a better defensive weapon than a pistol or submachine gun, with great accuracy and range but without the recoil or weight of a full-power infantry rifle. The paratrooper model proved itself useful for soldiers jumping out of planes. These jumping soldiers could be ready to shoot with the folded gun as soon as their feet hit the ground. The remake of the folding stock also relics the wooden folding stocks preferred during the war era because of the likelihood of the regular carbine models to bust upon landing. Kahr Arms has a true nostalgic gun in its AOM150 Paratrooper model. Find out how it feels to own a bit of history before legislature and politics put this design back on the shelf.
