5.0 out of 5 stars Great book! A must for every Carbine-fan!, February 2, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: War Baby! The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Vol. 2 (Hardcover)

I read vol. 1 en 2. If You are a carbine-fan You must have these books! There are something like the "carbine-bible"! Good to read, as much info as there is available after all these years! If You are a collector, only buy after reading Ruth!

This review is from: War Baby! The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Vol. 2 (Hardcover)

If you are serious about collecting the M1 Carbine, then you really need both volumes of the War Baby series. If you are looking for answers and are tired of the arrogance and snobs on the message boards, then go directly to the source with these two volumes, and save yourself some frustration.

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

This review is from: War Baby! The U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine, Vol. 2 (Hardcover)

This book a must for those who own carbines that they aquired 40 years ago, or last week from the CMP.
The author carefully records and documents everything known, and debunks the myths about this unique weapon.
