M-1 Carbines
My guess would be slightly better. A company (I forget the name) is making new M-1 Carbines now. For many years Plainfield and Universal made them, but, as I recall, the companies went belly-up.
Back in the early eighties, one of those two companies made a cool M-1 Carbine pistol, very similar in concept to the AK-47 pistols that are popular now. Wish I had purchased one back then!
