Love the video! My dad was a paratrooper with the 11th Airborne division and served with the occupation forces in Japan after the war..He most certainly would have trained with one!!

Great video! I would love to acquire an M1 Carbine, someday.

[@vinceburris2538]

Love these historical combat rifle videos. Thank you for making them.

[@PilotPatriot]

More to come! Thanks

My late Dad passed his M1 Carbine on to me. I absolutely love the rifle. Compact, reliable and pretty accurate. 1944 Inland Division-built.

Ian from forgotten weapons has a video with Ken Heckathorn on the M1 carbine. Worth the watch as this is. Once you shoot a carbine you will always have a place in your heart for it and shooting it, IF you can get it from all your buddies who also want to shoot it! Oh yes, DONT let your wife shoot it! You will become a mag loader…while she shoots it all day!

[@lens7859]

Imagine it's the 6th of June 1944, Your a soldier about to land on Omaha beach with your M1 Carbine on board a Higgins Boat and when the doors of the landing craft open your fellow friends are cut down to pieces by German machine gun fire forcing you to run across the wide open beach with shells and mortars exploding. You're pinned down behind the hedgehogs but eventually make your way to the sand dunes where it's blown up using Bangalore torpedoes then climb up to the concrete bunkers to finally see P-51 Mustangs flying overhead taking out the emplacement and tanks nearby realizing you survived the day that changed human history forever

Thank you for this informative episode 👍 Your rifle is 👍👍

[@karsonbranham3900]

Great video, I have been watching many videos of the M1.30cal for some time now. I bought one from a friend about 20 years ago for $ 200 as I always wanted one. It turns out that mine is ALL IBM except the main stock which is a Winchester. The hand guard is IBM. (Lumb woodworking in Poughkeepsie, NY) Another friend of mine, his mother worked at IBM as an inspector of the M1s that were made in IBM Poughkeepsie. IBM also made the 75MM nose cannon in the B25 bomber. Years ago, I remember seeing the building where the cannons were tested at the IBM plant.

Thanks

[@warrenharrison9490]

There was a day long before me, these were 50 a pop out of barrels full of surplus.

[@warrenharrison9490]

It's on my list to get one of these, had a few beautiful, rare, specimens come thru local shop, pricey😳.

[@PilotPatriot]

Prices only getting higher! I've had many tell me you use to be able to get these for $100.

[@Footballer7751]

how rare would an m1 carbine made in 1929 that was made by gerneral electric in perstine condition ?

[@PilotPatriot]

@@Footballer7751 Sounds like it's most likely fake or at least the date is incorrect. The M1 Carbine wasn't made until 1941

[@Footballer7751]

@PilotPatriot thanks

[@PilotPatriot]

@Footballer7751 Also I don't believe General Electric made the M1 Carbine. Not one of the big 10 manufacturers anyway

[@Footballer7751]

@PilotPatriot it is printed on the tip of the beral. i don't know why it would be there tho

[@Footballer7751]

JESUS Loves you
