**All information herein is from my self-knowledge and compiled from Craig Riesch's guide "U.S. M1 Carbines: Wartime Production". (4th Edition)

Craig Riesch's guide for collector's is the best you'll find out on the market for everything U.S. Carbine Cal. 30 M1. I highly recommend this book.

Well, this is all from me! I hope this helps anyone out wondering about M1/M1A1 Carbines and, I hope you enjoy the information. Its here for your use.

Enjoy!
