Helpful M1/M2 Carbine Links

[dalbert]

Based on Jim C 351's prompt, I'm pinning this post as a set of useful links for M1/M2 Carbine enthusiasts.

 

I do not vouch for the accuracy of content on these sites. The links are provided as a convenience, and my suggestion is for any data to be compared to other reliable published sources.

 

 

USCARBINECAL30M1.com

 

The first link is useful for determining which parts were originally present on an M1 Carbine. You must enter a manufacturer and serial number to return data from the tool.

U.S. Militaria Forum - Firearms & Ordnance

CMP M1 Carbine Forum

 

I include this forum because it can be a source of relevant Carbine information, and was particularly good in the past, when the CMP had M1 Carbines in stock. However, I will say that it can be quite unruly, and a source of considerable misinformation, and one should vet the content appropriately.

Milsurps.com

 

This is another resource of forum posts on the M1 Carbine.

I've been selling off some of my carbines and in checking things out found this threat and printed out some of the data sheets, I'd forgotten about them.  I've never gotten anal enough to fully fill one in, I just give up after a certain point.  But I'm going to include one with each carbine I sell, putting in what I can easily  do and leaving it up to the new owners to finish them if desired.  There are so many variations.......
