m1 carbine
The M1 carbine (formally the United States Carbine, Caliber .30, M1) is a lightweight, easy to use, .30 caliber semi-automatic carbine that became a standard firearm for the U.S. military during World War II, and continued to be used throughout the Korean War and well into the Vietnam War. The M1 carbine was produced in several variants and was widely used by not only the U.S. military, but by military, paramilitary and police forces around the world. It has also been a popular civilian firearm.
The M2 carbine is the selective-fire version of the M1 carbine capable of firing in both semi-automtic and full-automatic. The M3 carbine was an M2 carbine with an active infrared scope system.
Despite its name, the M1 carbine is not a shorter version of the M1 Garand rifle. It is a completely different firearm and it fires a different type of ammunition. It was simply called a carbine because it is smaller and lighter than the Garand. On July 1, 1925, the U.S. Army began using the current naming system where the "M" is the designation for Model and the "number" represents the sequential development of equipment and weapons. Therefore, the "M1 rifle" was the first rifle developed under this system. The "M1 carbine" was the first carbine developed under this system. The "M2 carbine" was the second carbine developed under the system, etc.
Anyone in the Albany/Salem/Woodburn area have an M1 Carbine rear sight tool I could borrow for a week?
I'll buy you a sixer of your favorite beer.
Thanks,
I have an M1 Carbine for sale. Asking $500, OBO. This rifle will go on Gun Broker in one week if there is no action here. I believe it was either made by Inland or Plainfield due to the metal handguard.

This is a mostly Underwood M1 Carbine. It includes a reproduction GI sling and one magazine as shown. These are historic guns that have seen a tremendous increase in value in recent years. Light and handy, it is no surprise they were very popular with the GIs during WWII. Some would even...
I don't want to hear any whining about the Light Rifle Cartridge (make no mistake about it, it exceeds the .357 Magnum in chamber pressure) and can penetrate a healthy 19" with Federal 110-grain Soft Points in 10% ordnance gel.
It worked so well that gun guru Jim Cirillo of the NYPD "Stakeout...

Three or so years ago I became enamored with the M1 .30 carbine. I had me some gun money and was pondering the M1 Garand. At that time I don't think I was aware there was such a thing as the .30 carbine. The June 2015 Guns and ammo came and the NEW manufacture Inland .30 Carbine was on the...
