Hello everyone. My name is Vince.
I have gleaned a lot of information from this sight over the past few years. I started about 4 years ago when I bought my first M1 Carbine, it is an Underwood. Since then, I have purchased an IBM. Well, that has got me started into collecting, at least one of each manufacture and who knows where. I really enjoy shooting these rifles. I have acquired a few necessary items, head space gauges including field, muzzle erosion, and all the necessary tools to completely dismantle a carbine. I have bought several books on M1's, and they help a lot. What I hope going forward is that the expertise here will help me fill in some of the blanks. Maybe, just maybe, we can all help each other. Thank you for this forum and website.

Vince, welcome to the party. You are off to a great start. I've only been serious about M1 carbines for about 4 years. I have two as well a shooter grade and a collector grade. The reference books and tools are very important. I've learned much here. There are so many knowledgeable and helpful folks.
