    Winchester made only 17,500 overstamped M2 carbines. They also made 1108 T3 carbines. It seems not a lot of carbines in general were overstamped if converted to M2 carbines.

    I know a new primer, then firing would have corrected the problem and cleaned up the inside of the case. Wonder if the spider could have broken the sound barrier???

    They take a special shell and not a normal type. This way only Police will have the ammo for it. I think it was Sarco that use to have loaded surplus ammo for it. Not cheap and very hard to reload.
