Hello all! New guy here from TN. I’ve collected WWII militaria all my life including a few choice firearms of the period. I’m interested in British, Japanese, Russian and United States items specifically. I enjoy researching and shooting everything that I get my hands on. I’ve assembled a pretty good library of info on the things that I collect. However, I’ve not been able to afford some of the more expensive collector type books that often go into more detail than I can get on the internet. I’m going to rectify that soon though and try to buy a couple each year! Through those and forums like this, I hope I can learn more about WWII firearms, specifically the Carbine and hopefully become a contributor to this and other forums. Again, thanks for accepting me as a member!!!

Welcome! You will enjoy it here. First book should be Larry Ruth’s “War Baby”, in my opinion. It’s expensive but worth it. It is by far the most interesting, detailed, comprehensive book on the subject. Most seem to consider it the definitive work on carbines. Usually about $125 on ebay, but I see them used at gun shows for $50 from time to time.
