One man has put together two site about M1 Carbines that he is researching data on and he is sharing much of what he has learned at the same time.
One is about the M1 Carbine made shortly after WWII for the public, using to begin with, many surplus miltary parts and later seeing several part transformations while maintaining the basic look and function.
