New member here, I came across the forum while trying to learn a little about my first carbine.
I've been collecting WWII firearms for well over 25 years now, and mostly my collection focuses on the M1 Garand and Johnson 1941 rifles and their related equipment. Up till recently I've not had a carbine in the collection, Why? heck I don't know I just never got into collecting them. I retired from the Corps after 21 years of service at the rank of Gunny, which even now, those that know me still call me Gunny guess the moniker stuck LOL Anyways looking forward to learning more about these Carbines and their history as I research them and visiting the many areas of the forum Semper Fi .... Gunny

Welcome! Glad to have you here, and to see you posting.
Please tell us more about your Carbine. Also, I'd be interested in hearing more about your Johnson Rifle, and accessories. Enjoy! David Albert dalbert@sturmgewehr.com |

Thanks All, I will post some pictures of the carbine as I also plan on doing a data sheet on it as well
I post them up once I have the pictures taken, Its a Inland serial # 1893xx with Inland Barrel dated 1-43 haven't too much time to get into yet as I just received few days ago. Will be interesting what I find as I do the data sheet
