TITLE: U. S. M1 CARBINES Wartime Production |
| AUTHOR: CRAIG RIESCH | |
| This book is "For Collectors Only". It is the revised 5th edition. This book begins with many mistakes. Page 30 has omitted the PB marking on NPM flip sights. Page 44 tells that barrels are 16inches long instead of the correct 18inch. Page 45 tells of mid 44 skirts were shorten; this was done 12-43. Page 74 will tell you that NPM type 1 trigger house's didn't have the early angle cut at the front of the house and they do! Note they were coded N6 & n7. Page 76 shows that they did make type 1 trigger house's-so which page is telling the truth? Page 118 and 119 tell a whopper! It tells that UEF didn't have periods and that G.H.D. did. This has confused many people. Too bad they didn't get a stock with a good cartouche instead of a worn off one. The picture on 122 looks like a double stamp and should have G.H.D. over U.E.F. Page 52 Winchester front sights were ground behind the blade, This is a half truth as half were done this way and the half were shaped like an unmarked Inland. I hope this will stop some of the many phone calls I’m getting from confusion from the 5th edition. When it was the 3rd edition it made sense. . . |
