It does if you want an AR15, LOL.Not everything has to be a AR.

You have to wonder why people provide information on M1 carbines when the OP specifically asks about an AR15. That makes no sense at all.
Supply and demand. They haven't made USGI Carbines since WWII, and that was some time ago. Also, the politicians keep blocking GI Carbines from overseas that have been surplused. The new, commercial copies are also expensive. That being said, I just got an Inland for $700 which is probably the average price of a new AR.For the people saying "just buy an M1 Carbine", keep in mind that they're considerably more expensive than ARs for some reason. I'd be interested in an AR-15 in .30 carbine that used M1 carbine mags, assuming it was cheaper than buying an actual M1 carbine...

Yes, that's why I referenced commercial copies. The new "Inlands" are around $1K if memory serves, and you can get a decent USGI shooter for less than that. I am hoping the next President's admin allows all the S. Korea M1 Carbines back inActually they are now making new M-1 Carbines. "Inland" is back. Well, it's not the same Inland but it is out there and from what I've heard they make some pretty decent M-1 carbines.

For a cartridge that is low in supply and rather weak? Not me.
I would go with 300blk because of it uses the same bolt and mags as a 5.56.
