Stumbled across Wiki's description/story of the US M1 icon

Carbine today.

Production section:

" One of the stranger combinations were the M1's made by the combined efforts of Underwood and Quality Hardware. One has to wonder what the GI thought when he looked at the manufacture's name of the Carbine he had been issued to carry into battle when it was marked UN-QUALITY'

The above is credited to a CMP icon

Auction. ????
See foot note #30

M1 carbine - Wikipedia

Many other major errors, that will soon be fact to todays Skittleheads!

A Collector's View - The SMLE Short Magazine Lee Enfield 1903-1989. It is 300 8.5x11 inch pages with 1,000+ photo’s, most in color, and each book is serial-numbered. Covering the SMLE from 1903 to the end of production in India in 1989 it looks at how each model differs and manufacturer differences from a collecting point of view along with the major accessories that could be attached to the rifle. For the record this is not a moneymaker, I hope just to break even, eventually, at $80/book plus shipping. In the USA shipping is $5.00 for media mail. I will accept PayPal, Zelle, MO and good old checks (and cash if you want to stop by for a tour!). CLICK BANNER to send me a PM for International pricing and shipping.

Manufacturer of various vintage rifle scopes for the 1903 such as our M73G4 (reproduction of the Weaver 330C) and Malcolm 8X Gen II (Unertl reproduction). Several of our scopes are used in the CMP Vintage Sniper competition on top of 1903 rifles.

The good thing about wikipedia is anyone can edit it.

Aka if you see a problem, you can fix it.

Looks great, but allows a lot of lies, mistakes and, worst of all, propaganda to be published under the shrine of utter credibility.
I know plenty of University of Wiki graduates.........
It's a lost cause.

Fortunately for the free world, the US GI's were concentrating their attention on the front sight post.
