Re: M1 Carbines...
When the DCM announced there were no more carbines available the price shot up. I became interested and bought a mixmaster with a Winchester action. Sometime after the war they were strIped, cleaned, inspected for wear and the parts placed in bins. They were then put back together without regard to maker. Thus the term mixmaster. The best book on the little rifle is "War Baby !" by Larry L Ruth. There are a few (no one knows how many) bring backs. They easily fit in a GI duffle bag. With millions of GIs coming home all could not be searched. I shot my little gun Friday. About as much fun as an old man can have. They made just over 6 million in all. Manufacture did not resume when the Korean War started.
