Quality Hardware \u0026amp; Machine Corporation of Chicago, Illinois produced approximately 359,000 M1 Carbines for the U.S. Army between September 1943 and June 1944 — roughly six percent of total wartime carbine output. Like all the M1 Carbine prime contractors, Quality Hardware was a non-arms-industry manufacturer pulled into the war effort and converted to firearm production: in this case, a Chicago machine shop that made die-casting equipment in peacetime, then retooled to produce one of the most distinctive small arms of the Second World War. Quality Hardware carbines saw service alongside Inland, Winchester, Underwood, IBM, and the other prime contractors — issued to paratroopers, officers, vehicle crews, signal and support troops across every theater of WWII. Today, the Quality Hardware receiver stamp is one of the more sought-after manufacturer markings for serious M1 Carbine collectors. The lower production run, the Chicago wartime industrial story, and the relative scarcity on the surplus market make a Quality Hardware-marked rifle a real find at a CMP match or gun show. This shirt puts that maker mark on your chest. Built for M1 Carbine collectors, CMP carbine match shooters, .30 Carbine reloaders, WWII reenactors, manufacturer-variant collectors, paratrooper history readers, milsurp researchers, and anyone who's ever flipped over a carbine and grinned to find \"QUALITY HDW. \u0026amp; MACH. CORP.\" stamped on the receiver.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eRedheadedTshirts is a family-owned operation based in High Point, North Carolina, designing and printing original shirts since 2013.
