Hello, Thank you for letting me join this forum. I am writing from Bilbao, Northern Spain. First of all, I think I have to apologize for my English. I try hard but I think I still keep kicking your language. I am 55 years old chap and always keen in Second World War and weapons. i have to say in Spain is not easy to obtain a licence for a firearm, or not as easy as in the States. Well the ting is that last year i found some time to obtain the licence and bought an ERMA M1 carbine that I am delighted with. Last month I bought the proper thing, the M1 that I like so much since I was a young boy. It is an Inland number 365497. All I know about it is that it shoots quite well, and I am delighted with it. Let me post some pictures to show it. I will appreciate whatever information you can provide to me.   ------------- Diego5 |

Welcome to the forum! I think your English is great. "Mucho mejor" than my Spanish which I took in high school over 40 years ago. Actually me being from East Tennessee there are some who would say your English is better than mine. :) This is a great place to find out about your carbines and get some really good help when needed. I see you have mastered posting pictures so you are ready to go. Best regards

Hola Diego, Me llamo David y vivo en el sur del estado de Arizona, frontera con Mexico. Tengo una coleccion de 15 carabinas M1, todos hechos por varios manufactureros desde 1942 a 1945. El numero de serie de su Inland queda en el primer bloque fabricado, tarde 1942 o temprano 1943. Inland, Division de General Motors, hizo mas de 2,084,000 ejemplos, o sea mas de cualquier otra contratista. Su carabina es muy bonita y bien conservada. Hay mucha informacion disponible en el Internet sobre estas armas. Saludos para Usted y los suyos en Bilbao. Su ingles es estupendo comparado con mi pobre espanol. ------------- I appreciate all commentary. |

Thank you everybody for the warm welcome. I appreciate some of you try to answer me in Spanish, it makes me feel at home. Having said that, I think itis better to use the English language. You americans, have also to feel at home on your own forum; and I train my English whis is very benefitial to me. ------------- Diego5 |
