m1 carbine
The M1 carbine (formally the United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1) is a lightweight, easy to use, .30 caliber semi-automatic carbine that became a standard firearm for the U.S. military during World War II, and continued to be used throughout the Korean War and well into the Vietnam War. The M1 carbine was produced in several variants and was widely used by not only the U.S. military, but by military, paramilitary and police forces around the world. It has also been a popular civilian firearm.
The M2 carbine is the selective-fire version of the M1 carbine capable of firing in both semi-automtic and full-automatic. The M3 carbine was an M2 carbine with an active infrared scope system.
Despite its name, the M1 carbine is not a shorter version of the M1 Garand rifle. It is a completely different firearm and it fires a different type of ammunition. It was simply called a carbine because it is smaller and lighter than the Garand. On July 1, 1925, the U.S. Army began using the current naming system where the "M" is the designation for Model and the "number" represents the sequential development of equipment and weapons. Therefore, the "M1 rifle" was the first rifle developed under this system. The "M1 carbine" was the first carbine developed under this system. The "M2 carbine" was the second carbine developed under the system, etc.

Trying to diagnose an issue with my new AO M1 carbine but can't seem to find the culprit. Shot it for the first time today and the first few mags went off without a hitch. Was shooting Tulammo. The first box gave me no trouble at all, but part way into the second box, after firing a round, the...
So, one thing I've done in recent years is to keep some parts on hands for certain firearms. As an M1 Carbine is the latest acquisition, I'm giving this some thought. Before asking, however, here is a a very quick overview of how I prioritize/plan spare parts:
If the arm is a fun gun or a...
Looking for a M1 Carbine, WWII, USGI issue 1942-45. Doesn't need to be all correct as far as internal parts per original manufacture but receiver must match barrel and stock. Have cash Thanks for looking,
I got this M1 Carbine in a trade, and like to see what I can get for it. I know just about zero about M1 Carbines. The barrel is stamped Inland MFG General Motors 10-43. The serial number is stamped in front of the rear sight. Under the rear sight it says RB CO INC.. I took the stock off and...
Though it is on a somewhat similar topic and part of my researching of a pistol-caliber(ish) carbine, I thought it better to start a new thread than derail the Marlin Camp Carbine one.
Anyone have the scoop on the newly manufactured M1 Carbines produced by Inland?* Good, bad, or ugly? Thanks...
