Does anyone know if this was an experimental or issued configuration?

From the M1A1 link below
"While the M1A1 was not built as a select-fire carbine, GI's have long been known for a variety of field expedient conversions of various types. Specialized units with special needs had the ability to modify weapons to meet their needs. During the Korean War, a number of M1A1's were converted to select fire capability and unofficially referred to as M2A1's." http://www.uscarbinecal30.com/modelM1A1.html |

I ask because I carried one, but being a kid at the time did not think about it. Now many years later with a bit more knowledge of the history I wondered if the rifle was as issued or if the armorer just made up one.
