M1 Carbine Owners Manual: M1, M2 & M3 .30 Caliber Carbines

You will have to wade through this manual and pick out the information you really need to know. This manual was not written for reading, but more as an instructional manual. Have your Carbine available for review and wish that you have a drill instructor standing behind making you read everything because it is easy to miss important information - take your time.Overall this is a detailed and well written manual, but dry and boring. It will allow you the opportunity to learn everything you need to know to disassemble, clean, reassemble, test and sight in your rifle.

I recently purchased my first M1 carbine, and was looking for a for a maintenance manual for them. I found this manual perfect for a beginner and now feel confident about tearing down the rifle for cleaning and maintenance. I would recommend it to new M1 owners like me and would serve as a good reference for experienced owners.

This manual has everything that I need to know about my M1 carbine. It is very informative and since M1 carbines are getting hard to find, this manual is highly recommended to any M1 carbine owner. It was as described by the retailer and delivered promptly.

The manual was just what I wanted.

Much of this is based directly off the Army manual, and it includes a lot more pictures that the Army manual, but they have been enlarged so much they become grainy and blurry, so the detail is lost.

The manual was just what I wanted. It will be a valuable in future years.

Nicely written book on the history of the M1 Carbine. Plenty of illustrations and details for the M1 Carbine. A definitely must for the military gun lover and personal library. Recommend this book.

History and a lot of useful information. If I were to cast a critical eye I would tell you that some of the illustrations are not as clear as I would like.

Ce fascicule est un manuel pratique, détaillé et totalement dépourvu de luxe. La qualité des illustrations s'en ressent, mais tout habitué de ce genre de publication connaît ce défaut.Je recommande évidemment ce manuel à tout propriétaire de M1. Les personnes intéressées par l'histoire de la M1 trouveront davantage de photographies et d'informations dans des ouvrages moins techniques, comme l'excellent numéro hors-série 14 de la Gazette des Armes : "L'USM1 - la carabine de la libération", éditions Regi'Arm, 2005.
