Real quick. They do keep files on which soldier shoots which gun. I have the serial numbers, and my cousin just found who used his M1 Garand in WW2. Its possible.

Suggestion. You'll need the serial number of course. The best way locally is to secure the assistance of the near by WWII veteran groups. They seem to have a local or unit in about every town. The problem you might run into is that there may have been multiple users of the weapon so you will normally receive info (if on file) on the last person to be issued a weapons card for that rifle. You may have to file a Freedom of Information Act Request....government and all.

It's nearly impossible to trace who used your gun.the M1 Carbine was widely used during world war 2 and later wars.i personally own 4 Carbines of world war 2 vintage,2 of them are M1 variants while the other 2 is an "M2" fully automatics that can spray lead like a machine gun.M1/M2 is still used today by various armed forces and Para-Military organizations.some of them are even modified,just like my buddy's M2 which is pistolized in form.

A .30 carbine around from a rifle is on par with a .357 magnum from a handgun. The .357 magazine has greater effective terminal overall performance with hollow factors than a .30 carbine with FMJs. delicate factors in the two tremendously plenty equivalent.

6 million+ to be exact. Sorry, trying to trace who had it is next to imposible. Guns change hands or return to storage & got rebuilt. Many Carbines got shipped To South Vietnam To re-arm their Army. Many Other nations like South Korea got them too in the Cold War. Many of the imported orignals now come from these overseas stocks.

The US Army fire arms museum may help you with general info. Forget about finding who it was issued to. There were millions of M-1's. They were sent over the world for close to forty years and some are still being fired in anger some place. You betcha.
