Interesting, I have owned a M1 carbine since 1968. It rode in the trunk of my police unit until the mid 70’s when it was deemed an outrage for a cop to utilize a long gun. [how times have changed]. Since then it has been a bar it gun, a ranch gun, and a stand by to repel borders gun. It has been totally reliable for the entire time. Couple of points: The weapon was never properly cleared and and the magazine remained in during field strip. The proper way to loosen the screw on the top fore grip retaining band is to use the rim ofa cartridge to fit into the curved screw head. A field bottle is commonly called a canteen and the shovel is an entrenching tool. You are correct that soldiers mixed and matched the items on their utility belt [most did not carry pistols. ] Please keep up what you are doing with the videos, I subscribe and enjoy them very much. I served 9 years enlisted and 26 years commissioned in the US Army / ARNG so I have an automatic reaction to misspoken things so please don’t take any of this as anything but an old soldier undergoing a teachable moment. Take care and carry on.
Although I don't think he mentioned it in this video. He's European, so I doubt it's a functioning M1 Carbine. Most likely a deactivated one with the magazine fixed to the receiver. It's nice nice to see people interested in firearms and history overseas. But watching some of his videos it's rather sad how regulations and laws makes most European inaccessible to firearms. Meanwhile I'm sitting in my man cave here, in Nevada, with thousands of live ammo right behind me (many in which made in the 30s-60s) that I don't even plan to keep, most of which, I shoot. It's sad to see how excited he gets, over a few spent casings to add to his collection. We as Americans really can't take our Freedom for granted.
Hi Nick. Congradulations on being a proud owner of a M1 Carbine. Two points on the disassembly. The screw on the front band was designed to use the rim on the base of a cartride to loosen it, not a coin. There is no need to remove the rear trunion. Simply remove the magazine, slide the front band forward, lift up on the barrel and the barrel and reciever will come right out of the stock. This makes it much easier to dissasemble in the field with no chance of loosing parts. BTW. I really enjoy your videos.
Hey History Secrets, you talked about not wanting to use a Thompson because privates didn't really use them, but that's not actually the case! Once close-quarters bocage fighting was encountered in Normandy, it definitely wasn't uncommon to see a few of the designated platoon scouts (there were 2 scouts in each squad) with Thompsons as they scouted ahead of the platoon. In fact, while not really shown in the TO&E or in common depictions of the US Rifle Platoon, this might have been one of the most common uses of the Thompson in the standard US Infantry forces. So yeah, if you want a Thompson (because who doesn't?), go for it! You can definitely still be a nice private, and would be a great opportunity to showcase the often overlooked importance and presence of platoon scouts. Cheers!
Hi Nick, I have an original Inland M 1 carbine and I just wanted to let you know that you don't have to unscrew the rear receiver screw. Once you slide up the barrel band and remove the handguard, just lift the barrel and. It will come out of the stock.
My grandfather bought a M1 carbine back when they were cheap here in America. He gave it to me on my 18th birthday and it is fun to shoot and a wonderful piece of history.
I was in The U.S. Army from 1979-1982 and alot of that W.W.2 stuff was still in use I.E. the jacket-the helmut & liner pistol belt holster in my case l was a tanker so l wore the shoulder. holster and harness with the M1911A1 45 and instead of a M-16 which l think replace the 30cal carbine l had a 45cal"what was call a grease gun" that tended to "run away" or keep firing after you released the trigger (a real piece of crap)and finally the good old entrenching tool...keep up the good work man love your vids.
My father in law gave me an M1 Garand made in 1943 for Christmas 2 years ago and I bought a K98k made in 1943 and was captured by the Russians. Both rifles are functional and shoot great. You also got me into collecting WWII artifacts and im currently building a wermacht infantry uniform. Keep making the videos my friend. Love the content and love the new carbine. Im about to buy an inland myself. You should do another trench video with the new rifle and also do some in other German uniforms.
Nice!!! Now I know how to fieldstrip an M1 Carbine!😄 What a beautiful weapon to add to your reenactment collection, Nick! I love the uniform, so authentic! Looks like you're ready to go! Cindy
That is freaking Kool & the Gang dude. My very first rifle that I bought when I was 20 (in 1990) was an M1 Carbine; with a round bolt. followed by a 98K, then a P-08, then a P-38 & finally an HSC 32. Then I figured out that collecting firearms is damn expensive so I stopped. When my dad passed away I then got an M1 Garand and a 12 gauge trench gun. Keep it up brother, you have an awesome collection. Ooh Rah!
Very nice 👍 I was pleasantly surprised to see that you actually got one in proper original M1 configuration with the flip sight, two hole hand guard and lacking the bayonet lug. Well done
Getting my first actual gun soon. Carcano m91/38. Still fires and stuff. Gotta say I really appreciate you taking the time to talk about historical topics.
Nick, Recently my class did a thing in science. So we take dull copper pennys and put them in vinegar with salt and wait a hour or more. It makes the dirt and stuff fall off, due to the salt and vinegar.
The m1 carbine is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo Nice! Just an amazing Piece of history, every single video is so nice
I love your dedication to making these videos the best they can be. I love this channel and am proud to be a dedicated subscriber 🤘🏻❤️ Much love from the west coast of 🇨🇦 Edit: there’s currently, as of posting my comment, 6 dislikes on this video... you said that the M1 magazine held 15 bullets right? 😏🤣
YAAAY! Also so srry I’m late. I was in school here in America. I recently bought an original US WWII Enlisted visor cap! I really like it! Matches my air corps dress uniform!!!
your videos are always so interesting because of you i started collecting my self and also have my own UA-cam channel thank you nick and keep up the good work
I had a M1 Carbine like this I bought at a gun shop very long ago and I didn't even know the history behind it. I like it cause it looked so good and I like the way it shot.
That's so awesome Nick. Was has excited during the unboxing has u were. My friend years ago owned a carbine and I loved the click when cocking it. Great vid as always.
I love the M1 Carbine, I held one at an armed forces show (the guy also had one of the parachutes from band of brothers) and I loved the look.-Das Mann
Inland Mfg. South Keowee St. in my hometown Dayton, Ohio. Late at night I could hear them test firing Ma Deuces as the sound rang down the Mad River to where I worked. You've got a great weapon there! Actually the take-down procedure used the cartridge extraction groove on the barrel band screw. (soldiers were notoriously broke and likely to be short on funds) :)
Enjoyed the video a lot. Pictures of my Dad during WWII show his first aid pouch in the front on the right ( he was right handed) he always called the “gaiters” you referred to as “leggings”
Noice (ps I love the channel it teaches me a lot about history and the weapons alongside it been a fan for about 2-3 years keep up the greatest videos ever)
Very cool. I'm actually on a wait list for the next opportunity to get an M1 when the supplies arrive. Let us also not forget the M14 another nice piece. I'm lucky enough to have an M1A1 from Springfield. Great job.
congratulations nick on your new piece of history ,i would recommend the next time you take a gun apart especially any wood wipe the metal down with a rag lightly soaked in a good gun oil this will help prevent rust in areas the wood touches it as wood does hold moisture , also run a cleaning patch down the barrel with oil on it as the inside of barrel is bare metal and will rust . it would be nice to know what a gun like that costs , goodluck and enjoy your m1
FINALLY I have been waiting for so long I’ve been like ok he has almost every popular gun during ww2 but where’s the M1 C PS. much love to the channel and to history
im going to stop talking im going to stop talking.. anyone else notice he never stopped lol Cheers man, love what ya do...!! would love to get out there one day in my life

Cool stuff dude. My uncle had a deactivated Luger in it's holster from WW2 and as a kid, I always found it fascinating. That's a beautiful piece!

You do NOT have to take the Recoil plate to disassemble.
Such a pretty gun and it's always cool to see it reinacted with in the correct uniform.

I was more worried knowing that the knife wasn't very sharp.
A sharp knife Is a safe knife because it's more dangerous to struggle to cut things.
I almost learned that the hard way. Now I keep things sharp to keep things safe
Agreed, much safer to gently be able to slice through something than struggle to force it through.
The m1 would be such a cool and handy gun to carry around while hiking or camping or something like that
You are so lucky, you can hardly find deactivated M1 carbine’s in Canada
you could just get a real one
@@KebeQ It is a real one. But with Canada’s laws and being a minor you can’t get them until you’re 18
Very nice 👍 I was pleasantly surprised to see that you actually got one in proper original M1 configuration with the flip sight, two hole hand guard and lacking the bayonet lug. Well done
I never clicked so fast in my life
My 1944 production Winchester M1 Carbine is one of the absolute favourites in my collection. Such a handy and effective weapon.
