Recently, I came across a site dealing with commercial versions of the M1 Carbine. My attention was caught by this page dealing with carbines made by Iver Johnson: http://www.m1carbinesinc.com/carbine_ij.html
I own an Iver Johnson Carbine (more specifically, a Plainfield Carbine made after Iver Johnson acquired them, but before the facility was moved to Arkansas) chambered for the 5.7 mm Johnson (.22 Spitfire) cartridge. According to the website, fewer than 700 - perhaps fewer than 500 - were made, far fewer than I would have assumed.
What I am asking is whether there are any other currently active members of THR that also own one of these rifles in the 5.7 mm chambering?
Thanks.
