Dang, wish I had never clicked that link. For somebody who happened to already have a 92FS and a coupla dozen mags, that would make an awesome companion.

What a neat idea. M1 style carbine in 9mm. I have a thing for pistol caliber carbines however impractical they may be. Wanted the Auto Ordnance M1 repro for a while but I couldn't find many good reviews. Somebody buy one of these and tell me how it runs.

Looks pretty cool... I just don't know how I feel about the look of that 92FS mag sticking out the bottom... looks a little out of place to me for some reason

They kinda lost me at the last sentence, but I'd likely remove the lug anyway. I can't imagine it being useful if made of polymer. I do wonder what other parts they think are better off made from polymer than metal, though.

I'm glad that a company finally figured out it is cheaper for them and cheaper for the consumer to utilize a magazine that is already in production. Beretta 92 mags are nice and cheap because of their military use and I think they also come in the 30 round variety. I do agree that it doesn't look very M1 carbine at all, sticking out the bottom. I wonder if they'll consider making a magazine well in the shape of the original M1 magazine or offer a sleeve to go over the Beretta magazine to make it look like a real M1 carbine.

That's what I was thinking... I certainly think it would look a lot better that way! It is a great idea to use other mags though.

I'd want mine in .45 acp (hope they come out with one) whole lot better looking than the Hi-Points.

I have the 22LR version. Love it. Might just need the 9mm to go along with it and my GI one.

The only benefit I see is cheaper ammo so the gun would have to be comparably priced to a standard M1. Aside from that one is giving up power and capacity so it's kind of a step backwards.

Click on the specs tab at the link. $538 MSRP for synthetic stock, $642 for wood. If they're any good I'm sure most of them will sell for close to MSRP. I don't see $400 being too likely. I'd like one if they were under $500. I'm not a fan of the Kel-Tec SUB 2000, especially since the only ones I've found in the last year were used and going for $200+ over MSRP. Under $500 puts it in price range of a Hi-Point and the only "hi-cap" magazines I've seen for the Hi-Points are aftermarket mags that are overpriced relative to the quality of them. So I'd definitely be interested in one of these M-1 styled carbines that accept quality "hi-cap" mags.

I want one (along with who knows, 18 other guns?). I like the m1 carbine in general, but wasnt too excited about paying for .30 carbine rounds. I looked at conversion kits for the 10/22.... but by the time you add them up you are near $500.... 9mm carbines are fun for plinking anyway.... so Im interested.
The List always grows faster than you can check them off don't it.Dang, wish I had never clicked that link. For somebody who happened to already have a 92FS and a coupla dozen mags, that would make an awesome companion.

I have a Taurus PT92 FS and have been looking to buy an M1 carbine. This is certainly interesting as I am sure the mags would work even if a new notch had to be cut.
I can read. I also know that firearms can go on sale and that many popular high-quality firearms often sell for quite a bit below MSRP.
An example of the top of my head is the M&P Sheild, which I have recently seen selling for about $100 less than MSRP.

If I thought you didn't have the ability to read, I wouldn't have bothered posting a reply in the first place. I just posted the MSRP in case anyone happened to miss that part.
