Questions On M2s

[Mike Venturino]

First, can anyone tell me what the nominal rpm of the M2 Carbine is?

 

Second, since I have an M2 Carbine on the way can someone direct me to the best book(s) about them?

 

Thanks

#1-- 750 rpm

#2-- I don't know if there are any books specifically about the M2 carbine, but there are many good books on US carbines. My favorite quick reference book is US M1 carbines, Wartime Production by Craig Riesch. A copy of the US Army manual is a must also.-- Fm 23-7 and TM9-1276.

Jim: thanks for the answers. I have the book you mentioned but was hoping to find something with more history specific to the M2.

Mike,

There is a good history on the M2 Carbine in the back issues of Smallarmsreview.com magazines. Issue: Nov. 1997 & Dec. 1997.

Lots of info.
