Hi, 
I'm Michelle (MinxyM51) from Virginia. Always liked the action of the M1 Carbine. Learning that IBM manufacture them for WWII and as I am now retired with them I had to have one. Today I have 2 complete IBMs and one IBM receiver with an Inland barrel. I really enjoy taking them out. Here to learn more about this fine firearm.

Yes I did. Started in 77 as a Unit Tech. on the BQQ5 Sonar System. Later went to System Test, followed by several years as a Field Rep, same system. After that was Lead Tech, on another Government program. From there I was Program Adminstrator for the ASP Program and three other government contracts. Went of permanant disability in 92. They retired me this past December 1st. I will say it was agreat company to work for. I was lucky thugh as I was placed on disability a few months before IBM sold its Federal Systems Division to Lockheed.
