I will also vouch for the M&P15-22. I've had mine for about six months and it is an absolute blast to shoot. It's reliable, easy to maintain, and a great way to get familiar with the AR platform without the money commitment. If you want to look into it I highly recommend these forums for...

Thanks for all the help, I'm going back today to get the manufacturer, serial number and to check the muzzle wear. I will be sure to let you know and post some pics if I do decide to buy it.

It seems the CMP was cleared out quite awhile ago. I live relatively close to the North Store and from everything I hear they haven't had carbines in stock in a long while.

Hey everyone, a local shop has what seems to be a pretty decent M1 Carbine for 799.00 (although I think I can talk him down to 650-700) and I was wondering what I should be looking for when it comes to manufactures, serial numbers, unique marking/stamps, and overall condition. The Carbine in...

Hey, I'm Alec from Ohio. Been into guns for about two years now, into long guns mostly. Hope to learn a lot from the forums here. My interest in firearms is really starting to pick up!

All my paperwork is in line, but we aren't going up for about another month so we can save up a bit. We're hitting the Knob Creek Machine Gun Shoot so our wallets are going to need all the recuperation time they can get!

Thanks for the help. Really excited to pick up a Garand, it has been the rifle I've dreamed of having since I was 10 or so. Also Greek ammo seems to be running about 100 bucks per 200 round case so I will definitely pick some of that up. I'm really digging these forums.

A buddy and I are planning a trip up to Port Clinton, OH to check out the CMP North Store. It's only a 2.5 hour drive for us so it sure beats waiting a month or two for a mail order! Anyways, I've got my mind set on getting a Garand or possibly a Carbine if I find one in my budget. I was just...
