    Wikipedia Idiots

    Stumbled across Wiki's description/story of the US M1icon 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 CMPicon Auction. ????
    See foot note #30

    M1 carbine - Wikipedia

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

    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.
