Last summer, I had an opportunity to hold an M1 Carbine. So, what's so unusual about holding a carbine, you ask? Here's the deal. A female neighbor inherited several long guns from her deceased father. One was the carbine. Knowing there were several manufacturers of the carbine, during the war, I looked for the manufacturer. Not only could I not find a manufacturer, I could not find any indication of a U.S. manufacturer. The story is, her father removed the weapon from a deceased N. Vietnam soldier. That's right, I said from a N. Vietnamese soldier. My first thought was the soldier picked up the weapon on the battle field but to my best recollection, these were not used in Vietnam.
He was allowed to bring home the carbine. I don't recall all the details now but, it appears the weapon was made either in N. Vietnam, N. Korea or China. Her nephew was there to take possession of a 1911 45ACP and the carbine. He is in the Army stationed in northern Virginia. I instructed him to do nothing to the gun until he knows more about it and, I instructed him to take it to the NRA office in Fairfax for research. Any comments?
