Description:
Between June 1942 and August 1945 ten primary U.S. contractors manufactured over 6 million U.S. .30 Caliber Model M1, M1A1, M2, and T3 Carbines. During World War II these carbines were issued to U.S. soldiers in every theater of war around the world. M1 Carbines were supplied to a number of Allies via the Lend/Lease Program during WWII. Carbines were smuggled into, or parachuted to, resistance groups in a number of different countries during the war. After the end of WWII many of the carbines were returned to America, where they were inspected, refurbished, and/or rebuilt to the latest standards. Many of the carbines did not return to America. Instead, they were stockpiled in various countries in case they were needed. With the onset of the Korean War in 1950, the .30 Caliber Carbines once again served American troops and America's Allies. However, during this war the decision was made to offer the .30 Caliber Carbines as a main battle rifle, a role it was not designed for. It's not surprising the carbines used in Korea received a reputation as totally inadequate. The wrong tool for the job at hand. City fighting at distances of less than 200 yards, the carbines were usually adequate, which would later make them popular with police departments around the world. Of the over 6 million carbines built, over half were at some point provided or sold to other nations as military assistance (see below). Many of these nations sold part or all of their carbines to other countries around the world. Since the early 1960's private importers and exporters have acquired a great many of these carbines and sold, traded, or brought them back to the United States, where they were sold to civilian gun owners. Through the Director of Civilian Marksmanship and eventually the Civilian Marksmanship Program, the U.S. Army has provided thousands of carbines for raising funds to support shooting programs across the nation.
