The U.S. 30 Caliber Gas Operated Carbines: A Shop Manual

This book has the most detailed shop drawings and mechanical minutia of any I have read or seen to date. If you are going to work on an 30 Carbine, you will want this book. When they claim this is the ultimate tech data manual, believe them! I randomly selected two pages of detailed component drawings to share as an example. This book is for gunsmiths and amateurs like me that enjoy studying the M1 30 Carbine.

Very Informative- a must if you own a M1 carbine

Best reference work on the .30 caliber carbine ever written. Has everything you could ever want in the way of history, function, maintenance, cleaning, ammo and ordnance tools. This book has it all. Buy it. You will not be disappointed.

This manual is just as informative as his manuals on the M14 and 45ACP. Every detail is covered. You can not go wrong if you are building or need specific information on the M1 Carbine

Has a huge amount of very detailed information on the specs and requirements of the 30 carbine. Well worth the cost to add to anyone who wants to understand the nuances of how their firearm works. As usual another terrific shop manual by Jerry Kuhnausen.Don't be fooled by people saying it is out of print as an excuse to jack up the price. The company that publishes Jerry's books is on-line and they are available for reasonable prices.

I have checked MANY Books and this is my first choice, it has the drawings with dimensions and great details that I have tried to chase down.I expect to have many, many of hours of fun with this project drafting a solid model. I have also purchased Jerry's first and second volumes in ! book. I will review that book arrives.

I highly recommend this book for the serious M1 Carbine owner that wants to know his gun inside and out. Great detail was spent on this plublication. Tons of illustrations, details, and part descriptions with an index in the rear of the book which pin points parts or key phrases to the related page. Great book for the gun lover and worth the cost. Recommend highly.

Excellent shop manual. All technical info on and development of all parts is available in a logical order. Excellent reference handbook.
