The M1 Carbine: 10 Little-Known Facts<\/a><\/h1>\n

 <\/p>\n

The \u201cU.S. Carbine, Caliber .30, M1\u201d<\/a>\u00a0was the most produced American infantry arm of World War II. And it’s back in production today. As this is written, my cheek is gleefully stained with linseed oil (either that or I have jaundice) from test-firing the M1 Carbine and M1A1 Paratrooper Carbines as made today by\u00a0Inland Manufacturing in<\/a>\u00a0Dayton, Ohio.<\/h2>\n

The guns look great and capture the nostalgia and function of the originals made from 1942 to 1945 (read an earlier review by B. Gil Horman here<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0watch a video of it being fired at SHOT Show 2015<\/a>). But carbines go much further than their use by the \u201cGreatest Generation\u201d during World War II.<\/h2>\n

Here are some things you may or may not have known about the gun that started out as the U.S. Army\u2019s \u201cLight Rifle.\u201d<\/h2>\n
