I have been planning on opening a museum dedicated to the M1 Carbine for the past 3 years. I am happy to say that finally the plans are coming to a reality. I have purchased the land and if all goes well will begin construction on a new building that will also house the M1 Carbine Museum soon. So I need your help in filling it with all things US M1 Carbine. I am looking to buy odd and interesting M1 Carbine items like those listed below. I also appreciate links to neat M1 Carbine related items for sale if you have seen anything out there in cyberspace. I also am looking to buy early original M1 Carbine parts as well as any M1 Carbine part in the original factory package. Please keep all the contacts, links, referrals and offers coming.

I am looking to purchase:

1. Original M1 Carbine military shipping crates, any vintage.
2. Garrison/armory wall or floor storage racks.
3. Long term storage barrel.
4. Any armory tools or gages such as:
a. Headspace gages. (I need the following):

b. Any higher echelon armorers tools and gauges.
3. Any marking or roll dies and stock cartouche stamps.
4. Any training items such as cut-a-ways and transparencies.
5. Any parts and rounds for the M21 double size trainers. (I really need a recoil lug and hand guard)

7. Any prototype or experimental items.
8. Any partial or unmachined parts such as:
a. Receiver blanks
b. Unfinished forged parts.

10. Any items documented to belonging to David Marshall Williams or any documents with David Marshall Williams signature or relating to any patents or letters of contact.
11. Any odd commercial carbine item like above.
12. Any other strange, odd or interesting M1 Carbine item.

Have something odd for sale? Please let me know.

I am a very serious M1 Carbine collector and am looking to build and expand my collection in hopes to put it all on display in a M1 Carbine museum. I want your M1 Carbine items for my private collection and display in the museum; these items are NOT for resale. Thank you for your time and please contact me with anything you think I might be interested in.

Please email me or call 317-858-3030. If I do not reply right away please be patient, sometimes it takes me a bit to get my emails read.

Thank you for your time.
