A plant in Grand Rapids, Michigan, which is now the Delphi Corporation Valve Lifter Plant, manufactured rifles during WWII. I am trying to find information on what firearms were made at this plant. Does anyone have, or know where to find this information.

Thanks,

  Irwin-Pedersen produced M-1 Carbines during W.W. II.

  Thanks, I thought they were M1's.
  
  Are there any indications on M1's where they were made, or can a serial number be used to determine the location of manufacture?

  IP made only M1 carbines; most had Underwood barrels.
  
  They never made M1 rifles.
