M1 Funnin' and Gunnin' VIDEO

How many of you have, and love, the M1 Carbine? It's by far one of my most favorite guns to shoot. It is remarkable light, and easy to shoot, and a real joy to maintain. Just wish the ammo was a bit less expensive. [I know, I should reload!].

Here's a video I made of my 1944 Inland, WWII era M1.

I think M1 carbines are great guns; handy, fun to shoot. I have a 8/44, Inland too! I know people who will disagree with me but I also think it's one of the few rifles/carbines out there that, with the right bullet type, really make sense as a home defense gun. I'm surprised they aren't more popular then they are.

Actually, on Domesday Preppers I saw a guy with one.

: )

I made a three-point sling for my Underwood and used it for a carbine class. That was a lot of fun. The ergonomics are really pretty good for defensive work.

Sounds fun.

Been wanting to pick one up

I picked up my first one via Gunbroker, after researching carefully what I wanted. I paid a fair price. I picked up my second one from a private party on a gun forum, a very nice specimen.

Actually, on Domesday Preppers I saw a guy with one.

They made another iteration of the show "Doomsday Preppers" and no one told me?:fire::evil::scrutiny::what:

;)

I to love a real GI carbine. I had a very nice Rock-ola. Ran in to a guy in 2006 that liked It more than me. He offered me $1000.00 I sold It to buy a Bushmaster AR15. I wish I could take that deal back.:banghead:

Ouch
