As thourough as you guys pegged it, I can believe you missed jotting it down, though no doubts you know it....the receiver is shorter by a half inch! the M14/M1A receiver is .5 inch shorter than the Garand receiver.(to take advantage of the shorter cartridge, (that in service loads, is only...

lol I guess Im going to have to stop feeding my AR15 that Blackhills 60gr V-Max it loves so much if the cutoff is .40 (the Black hills .223 is 25.95+8.25% sales tax per 50 round box.....and that Darn .357SIG Now why did I get hooked into that....it too is more expensive than SS197 that I get on...

I wish american surplus weapons all came with a tag....it truly is neet to know whos rifle that you now own and what kind of unit he was in. To know who took care of it, where most of the scuffs came from, that it was his cleats that chew the stock...and how he was freezing his rump off when it...

At age 11, the .30 M1 Carbine was my first centerfire "long gun" of my own, I had shot Dad's Win 94 .30-30 a few times before I got the Carbine...had my first .22 rimfire longarm at age 6, owned my first centerfire pistol at age 9 (.45acp Combat Commander)first gun I ever "shot" was age 4(dad...

There are a lot of us that use it as a CC pistol...its pysically no bigger than a M1911, and is only 1.7 pounds loaded, so it dont sag or tug at you. Its one of the most comfortable service pistols I have ever carried, In a Blade-tech IWB it hides rather well and the grip stays tucked in tight...

* The M1 carbine had problems with the rain tests/heavy rain in operational conditions long about the same time as well...and for much the same reason. (lube washing off)

+1 on the AR15, I personally went with the Rock River Arms "tactical Entry" as a good features set for the money,good reputation,and Used by the DEA, has an accuracy garentee!...and was safely under the 1000.00 mark. And added stuff I wanted to it with each paycheck.

One of the only on the shelf, at Wal-Mart loads that is M1 safe for sure is the Remington Green/Yellow box 150gr core-lokt...M1's like it well. I Called Remington about 12 years ago about loads for M1 use that they might make and that was the suggested round as it was made with the M1 and...

The two compliment each other well under varied conditions...the carbine can be handled by 10 year old kids/ a novice shooter wife/gf and they can be effective with it. The carbine even in WW2 was prefered over the M1 rifle when it came to searching a house, was found to be perfectly adequite...

I remember the month preceding the AWB, brand new Colt SP1's retailed for about 425-450.00 and in the course of a week...dealers hung 1200.00 (and up!)pricetags on those very same guns, and the distributers soon followed. People was buying them left and right(end of the world, hurry get the...

Nightcrawler, I was es'playnin where baby poop came from, to that other guy (not FN's idea, but the end customer's idea):) Being that there has never been a civy scar prototyped up yet, no color is set in stone for us...if it follows the other recently released civy guns, it will be green and...

Flat Dark Earth, AKA baby poop, is the new U.S. Military firearm color...and they have decreed they will not be using all black guns in the future. They want the carbines to blend in better with the surroundings....thats also why all those .45acp SOCOM pistol contract candidates were also "baby...
