SALE OF CARBINE CLUB NEWSLETTER BACK-ISSUES


Background
For over 39 years literally thousands of carbine owners, collectors, and researchers submitted articles, photographs, bits and pieces of history, carbine data sheets and more as a cooperative effort to assist with the reconstruction of the history of everything U.S. .30 cal. carbines. All of this information was compiled and presented in the form of newsletters to further the efforts.

Quantities and Quality
The earlier newsletters were done on a typewriter, with photos taped onto the master copy, and unfortunately the master copies were not retained until we switched to electronically-created newsletters in the latter years of the Carbine Club. Hence, many of the early photos did not photocopy or scan well, and are very dark. The overall quality of the scans also vary somewhat.

Many of the early newsletters were quite small, 4-6 pages. Later newsletters averaged 8 pages. Newsletters from the last few years of the Carbine Club average 20 pages, 17 of them contain color pages.

The Complete Set
The complete set comprises over 3300 pages of information weighing over 20 lbs. They are punched for 3 ring binders (not stapled). You will need 8-10 2” 3-ring binders to hold them all.

If you are a very serious collector/enthusiast or researcher of the .30 cal. carbines, you will want to purchase the complete back-issue set. The knowledge you will gain from a $300 investment could save you thousands of dollars in the purchase of a carbine that isn’t what it is claimed to be.

The Index
An electronic, searchable pdf index of articles/subjects is available on the website for free to assist with finding the topics that interest you. Be sure to read the “search rules” at the top of the index to expedite your search.

Individual Copies
If you are a casual collector/enthusiast, the enormity of the back issue set will probably be well beyond your interest level. Individual copies of the Carbine Club’s newsletters (paper only, no electronic) are also available. Use the free index to locate the issues with information you are interested in.

Cost & Purchasing
Complete back-issue sets of the newsletters (1-384) are available for $300 postpaid via Media Mail (USA and Canada - Other nations, inquire before ordering).

The cost is $5 each postpaid for issues 1-323 and $10 each for issues 324-384.

Prices cover the cost of paper, duplication, and postage. A small amount is left as a profit to pay our internet server fees and other administrative costs to keep the website and forum operating. (No one on the Carbine Club staff is compensated. All are volunteers.)

Paypal to - carbinecal30@gmail.com - is the preferred method of payment. If purchasing an individual issue, please send a separate email to the above address, stating which issue you want.

Checks, made payable to Carbine Cal 30, may be mailed to:
Carbine Cal 30
458 Stimson Ave.
Pismo Beach, CA 93449

Any questions or problems, contact Marty Black at carbinecal30@gmail.com

Carbine of the Month and Data Sheet Example
Beginning in Newsletter 101, we featured a Carbine of the Month (COM), where the parts and markings of a known or suspected factory-original carbine were detailed. Later newsletters offered expanded multi-page COMs, some with color photos. A COM is reproduced below, with permission of the then-owner and writer Marty Black, to give readers an idea of what a COM looks like.






Index of Back Issues.

Carbine of the Month Index

Searchable Index of Back Issues 1-384

Searchable Index by Subject Sort by J.R.2009

Editor's Note: The index of articles below is a reprint from CCNL 366 and 367. It has also been updated to include all of the CCNL's to 384. Thanks to fellow club member RedSpecial for the update.

This is the first in a two-part series of newsletter indexes, specific to carbine manufacturers. It includes references to articles that will help a collector know what parts are correct in a carbine, but does not include those articles that detail a manufacturer's historical information, documents, interviews, production milestones, inspection criteria, minor reports, prototypes, etc. Readers should refer to our master Newsletter Index for more information on a specific manufacturer, as well as a list of all Carbine of the Month (COM) features.

I am a relative novice to the Carbine Club, and purchased the back issues of the newsletters. They are a wealth of information and a tremendous resource, but I found myself "trying to drink from a fire hose." To organize the tremendous amount of data, I purchased a 3 ring binder, with a tab for each of the manufacturers. Then, each time I found an article or snippet of information about a particular manufacturer, I copied it and placed it behind the tab for that manufacturer.

One of my favorite parts of each newsletter is the COM (Carbine of the Month), and I have put a copy of each COM behind my tabs - also by manufacturer. That way, if you find a carbine that you want to restore or that you may want to purchase, you can check your reference binder and get a good idea of what a carbine close to it in serial number range looks like.

Greetings I'm new collecting and very much a new-guy around carbines.  Love the forum and all the posts.  I'm a member of GCC and bought the bound back issues.  I'm a little intimidated by the stack of paper and the total weight.  Is a CD or downloadable format available?

Why did you buy the GCA back issues? Do they offer a CD? I know our friends over there, that are here as well would not offer CDs.
We do not offer in any electronic form and never will due to the easy of copying.

 I think you will do well with the CCNL back issues.
By having paper you can add notes in the margin as needed.


The sale of back issues helps fund this sight so we do not have to collect dues.
We make little to no profit on full sets. The plus of this is nobody would bother trying to copy and sell our copyrighted information.

Thank you- all good points.  It wasn't about being cheap or not wanting to pay the money, I think that newsletters like this and the GCC are well worth the money.  I work in industries that pass around large data files electronically so my head is turned in that direction. And the stack of paper has to be organized and preserved

Does CC have a dues structure like GCC? Or is all donations? How does one get on the list to receive current and future issues of the CCNL? If these are questions that are answered in the forums let me know.

There is no dues structure. As New2brass mentioned above, the money made from the sale of the hardcopy CCNL back issues help keep this sight up and running. There are no longer hardcopy CCNL's at all, therefore there is no list to receive them. The closest thing to actual current newsletters can be found within this forum in the Newsworthy section, with that said there is a wealth of valuable information throughout all of the sections of the forum.

Thank you for the reply.  I am enjoying noodling through the forums and learning about carbines and all the related history.  My thanks to you and New2brass and all the other contributors for all the time and efforts.

I have the complete set.  It is well worth the money, and is fascinating reading as well as a very valuable research tool.

I had a nice conversation with Marty in March and bought all 20 pounds! The box is sitting on a table in my office waiting for the right time and when I've got enough binders to keep it all safe and in order. I'm looking forward to reading it all

what you are going to find in overfilling a binder is that the front and rear pages are going to curve and tear at the holes.
Better to use more binders.

As you are reading and come across correction could you post the issue number and page. 


This way we can add a correction sheet.
Sometime you may commit the first thing you read toemmory and an issue or two later see setting was corrected.

Thanks Rebel92 and Dan
We have some manuals and info here in the office that are 4 inchers and they are painful- I was going to use some 2 inchers.

Thanks for the update on the newsletters. 

Stay cool and enjoy the weekend

I will get another Binder, Dan. I see how the pages could rip

And I will keep an eye out for corrections. I am starting at the beginning, am already at around 40. I have already seen a few corrections. Some have been crossed out and corrected however
