If you can't find it anywhere else, it is available at your local Cabela's. I think I also saw it at our local Walmart. They have several "grades" of coffee. I've found it to be good stuff.

A friend sent me that picture because he knows I am a carbine addict. I have not looked for any during my shopping experiences, but I might.

Thanks for rotating that picture Wayne.
I found it amusing the “Black Rifle Coffee Company” highlighted a Carbine. I might have to try some of that coffee.

Nice Roger, it looks like he is one of those guys that cut the ears off of his front sight.

Bougainville, 11-1943. Looks like a 1907 sling has been put on the left one 🤔

And note the airborne "rigger's pouches" on the back of the pistol belt of the 509th trooper in the N.Africa "Life" magazine photo!

I found it on Facebook, with this text:
« US Personnel in Tunisia, note the spike bayonet on the M1 Carbine at right - Early 1943 These spike bayonets for the early style M1 Carbines were made in the workshops of a Rolls-Royce engine parts facility near Chilton Foliat England for the US 2nd Battalion, 503rd PIR Parachute Infantry Regiment in 1942. Re-designated as the 2nd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry on November 2, 1942, the 509th conducted the US Army's first combat jump during WW2 on November 8, 1942, flying 1,500 miles from England to seize Tafarquay airport in Oran, Algeria. LIFE Magazine Archives - Eliot Elisofon Photographer » And I found the Life Magazine page, called « raid on Sened »

Did not think that was attached to the carbine, at first glance thought it was just a pole in the ground, like the pole you can see in the distance off to the right. After a closer look, thanks to Dan, it appears that it is definitely an attached spike.

I was reading a research monograph this morning a gentleman put together on SCR-300 radios. He had quite a few pictures included, several with carbines. Thought I would share this one.

The magazine is a 30r hardback Mag in Matt's recent post should look longer, but it is being pushed into his jacket. It is two mags welded together. |
