    Home Page :)

    This website exists to help owners of the U.S. M1 carbines that served with the Germans and/or Austrians to recognize what they have, to encourage owners not to change or alter them and destroy their history, and to encourage the sharing of information about their carbines so we may establish a much higher baseline of knowledge regarding these rifles and their history. Throughout the website you will find much more detailed information about M1 carbines in general, relative to the receiving, use, and selling of M1 carbines by Germany and Austria, identifying German and Austrian M1 carbines, their return to America, their existence worldwide, and resources for further information.
