I have spent almost two decades in the army and though I thought I knew something about WWII weaponry, I learned a tremendous amount from this video. Keep up the great work.

I have my Uncle’s bring back along with a 600rd spam can of ammo, 15 original magazines, and original canvas case. He carried it in the Pacific. Excellent shooter.
@ArneMoen
Dad was a replacement in January 1945 in Belgium. He was issued a Garand but he had a radio operator MOS and ended up in an HQ company. So then he carried a Garand and a radio. He was able to go to the medics station and swap his Garand for a carbine some soldier no longer needed. He much preferred the carbine.
@Pausanias5000
who else loves WWW videos and wants to see more carbine content?!!! check out that M44 pack whewww😏
@voodoowraith
My Dad didn't serve during WW2, he was in the Air Force during the Korean War (Kadena Air Base), but he was issued the M1 Carbine. He loved that little rifle and spoke very highly of it. One of these days I'll add one to my collection to honor his memory. The way he described his sounds like it hadn't been upgraded yet. He said his didn't have the bayonet lug or adjustable sights. Thanks for this video, now I know how to bring it one back to the way he described his.

My grandfather was a .30 cal gunner for a tank destroyer unit. He was issued a m1 carbine
@baronedipiemonte3990
My late father, 1 Lt. Ord WW2 actually mailed home pieces of the M-2 (full auto) carbine. His step son stole it.
@guylr7390
My uncle was the CO of a Quartermaster Truck company in the 3rd Army. He and his drivers carried M1 Carbines from Normandy to the end of the war in southern Germany. He didn’t bring one home but I did get to wear his winter jacket as a kid.😊

I had an all correct IBM, but I ended up selling it several years ago. I have an Inland mixmaster now, but it shoots great. My wife's grandma's first job was rebuilding M1 Carbines at Red River Army Depot. She inspected and reassembled the trigger housings.
@Soldierbarnaby2409
Hey man before my comment gets drowned by other ones I just wanna say I love your content and i think it’s great to keep everyone remembering history and especially in the way you do it.
@RicktheCrofter
A week ago I was at a gun show. One of the private vendors there had a replica M-1 Carbine, which fired .22 caliber rounds rather than .30 caliber. As I was examining the carbine I was trying to lock the bolt open. The vendor was trying to explain how to do it, but he couldn’t do it. Then I remembered this video. I told him he needed to insert an empty magazine before the bolt would lock open. He inserted an empty magazine and indeed the bolt locked open.
@sinner175
I encourage you to shoot your Carbine in a CMP (Civilian Marksmanship Program) M1 Carbine match! They are fired at 100 yards only. These are NOT target rifles, nor where they intended to be. I liked the video.
@99Racker
The snap on the inside of the mag pouch can ding the stock. I added two small pieces of electric tape in an X pattern on the inside snap so I had no dings. Good lesson.
@edgarcia4794
My dad was a truck driver issued an M1 Carbine and in his later years he was a gun smith/dealer he mentioned the mag holders on the stock was in case you bailed from the truck in a hurry without your gear you still had a bit extra ammo.
@kaynebartholomew2994
I think I have seen one photo of the bayonet lug on Iwo Jima circa March (maybe April?) in the hands of, I guess, a soldier. It caught the guy in silhouette so it's not focused on him, but on Suribachi in the distance. But the shape of the bayonet lug is clearly visible. Haven't seen many other photos of them in WWII beyond that. Gives me a reason to go look again just to see what I can see for kick and gigs.
@Adelina-293
My favorite marching companion. The light weight comes in handy, plus that buttstock ammo pouch is sweet. I'm the platoon runner, cover fire's appreciated.
@genconsensus4205
Strapping a pouch with 2 loaded magazines on the butt would provide a counter weight on the end of the rifle and could improve the balance. You should shoot it at the range with loaded magazines on the butt to see if it improves your handling and shooting of the carbine. Many infantry officers and some ncos also carried carbines since they were not expected to fire at the enemy most of the time. In photos you can see they usually carried just a few magazines.
