Overview

The Erma Werke EM1 may look like an M1 Carbine but the internal parts are not the same. Knowledge of how the parts interact is helpful for knowing the rifle but also helps envision how the parts interact with one another, along with parts placement for disassembly and reassembly.

Semi-automatic rifles in .22 long rifle caliber are popular in the United Kingdom as they are everywhere else. One of the British EM1 owners happens to be well versed with authoring 3D graphics and animations. Many thanks to Bryan Cox of Bristol, UK, for sharing his work with EM1 owners on this website. And many thanks to his wife Liz for sharing Bryan with us for the hundreds of hours it took to author the Erma Werke EM1 3D graphics and animations you see on this website.
