So, as mentioned elsewhere, I've been doing the homework on a pistol caliber(ish) carbine. The Marlin Camp line caught my eye early on, but I'm leaning more and more towards an M1 Carbine. The only big negative with that is that I don't currently stock .30 Carbine ammo, but that isn't the end of the world.
Anywho, I remember some years back (in the 2012-ish period) there being newly made, closed-bolt, semi-automatic Sterling carbines on the market.* The reviews I read back then were generally positive. The carbine version has a long 16" barrel, but I can always Form 1 it and go the SBR route. The benefits would be we already keep a ton of 9mm Luger ammo and suppressing this platform should be do-able after the barrel is threaded.
I'm still leaning M1 Carbine, but I thought I'd just toss it out there for discussion. Anyone have one of these? How did you like it? Did you SBR it? How did it suppress?
Thanks!
