Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The M1 carbine (formally the United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1) is a lightweight semi-automatic firearm that was a standard firearm for the U.S. military during World War II, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. It was produced in several variants and was widely used by paramilitary and police forces around the world. It also became a popular civilian firearm after World War II.
The M2 carbine is the selective-fire version of the M1 carbine, capable of firing semi-automatically and fully automatically. The M3 carbine was an M2 carbine with an active infrared scope system.
Despite having a similar name and physical outward appearance, the M1 carbine is not a carbine version of the M1 Garand rifle. On July 1, 1925, the U.S. Army began using the current naming convention where the "M" is the designation for "Model," and the number represents the sequential development of equipment and weapons. Therefore, the "M1 carbine" was the first carbine developed under this system. The "M2 carbine" was the second carbine developed under the system, among others.
Because the Winchester name is so ingrained in American history and culture in terms of firearms, and because Winchester developed the .30 caliber carbine round and was the driving force behind the development of the M1 Carbine rifle, M1 Carbines with the Winchester manufacturing stamp are some of the most highly coveted after by collectors. Because of this, M1 Carbines actually manufactured by Winchester, as opposed to a secondary licensed contractor, have become increasingly difficult to find.
