Blog Administrator -
Here is the M1 30 Caliber Carbine Rifle as requested. Never confuse this WW2 issued rifle with it's big brother the M1 30-06 Garand Rifle.

The M1 Carbine was a lightweight issued weapon to pilots, paratroopers, and navy PT boats. It does not have the knock down stopping power of it's big brother the M1 Garand 30-06.

There was a limited number of these made during WW2 and they are now a highly sought after collectible military rifle.
I have included 3 Youtube videos below on which all the aspects of the M1 30 Caliber Carbine Rifle from history and shooting; to the field stripping the rifle; to complete disassembly and reassembly. Above are photos of the rifle, WW2 history, and ammo.
There have been knockoffs and reproductions of these rifles, and Ruger still makes one which is called the Mini 14.
