Faulkner,

Which of the M1 Carbine books out there do you like?

That is a heck of a collection, it makes mine look so lonely sitting all by itself...

Justin - get an "old" one. Mine's a 7/43 Underwood (EDIT: typewriter not sewing machine company - thanks for the catch!) receiver with 1/44 Inland (division of GM) barrel, The handguard is stamped RMC for Rockola Mfg. Corp; this carbine is a snapshot of co-operative war time massed produced "mil-spec" manufacturing. It functions perfectly. Worst case - if anything breaks, replacement parts are "mil-spec" so they should fit any one of the 6,000,000 million units produced and run through an arsenal re-build. The history is pretty cool too; when I started identifying my proof and import marks, I discovered my M1 was issued to the Bavarian Police Forces after WWII before being imported back to the US
