Hi Jason, no sir, the M1 Carbine is not Illinois legal.
Hi Jason and welcome. Unfortunately, no Sir due to the detachable magazine. "Assault weapon" means any of the following: A. A semiautomatic rifle that has the capacity to accept a detachable magazine or that may be readilymodified to accept a detachable magazine, if the firearm has one or more of the following: i. a pistol grip or thumbhole stock; ii. any feature capable of functioning as a protruding grip that can be held by the non-trigger hand; iii. a folding, telescoping, thumbhole, or detachable stock, or a stock that is otherwise foldable or adjustable in a manner that operates to reduce the length, size, or any other dimension, or otherwise enhances the concealability of, the weapon; iv. a flash suppressor; v. a grenedae launcher; vi. a shroud attached to the barrel or that partially or completely encircles the barrel, allowing the bearer to hold the firearm with the non-trigger hand without being burned, but excluding a slide that encloses the barrel.
