I was already referencing Bruce Campbell's book on Trench Guns (the bible for that) and was blown away by the amount of academic info on collecting USGI carbines (Canfield also has a Garand/Carbine book) particularly in Larry Ruth's (the godfather of M1 carbine collecting) 500 page "War Baby" (which has 2 other volumes as well!) In years of collecting, I stumbled across USGI carbines, by acquiring one from a pawn shop that turned out to be a rare variation. It will be easier to update new picture retakes this way, and not spam the milsurp section, as I understand individual carbine threads would likely get lost in the mix, and are better left for the CMP or Carbine Club forums. In continuation of posting some WW2 original "type 1" carbines from my collection, I've decided to post them in one merged thread, much like the Trench Gun Collection thread.
