Isubmit The M1 Carbine Is A Super *bleep* Rifle.....m1 Carbine Worship, Redux!!!!

Dudes, with a paratrooper stock, its smaller than a 11.5 in barreled AR...it recoils less and therefore faster for follow up shots, its equally as reliable, ammo is almost as cheap, OK the round is a bit anemic, but even me, a disgusting fatbody, can stand there at 25 yards and while screaming "get some" can fill a head of a sillouhette target with 20 rounds as fast as I can pull the trigger, and I can do it faster than my AR with an optic....ya think anemicness mens much for head shots...??

Everybody needs an M1 carbine...

Get some, get some

[Coronach]

Agreed.

It may be pretty close to the ideal compromise between recoil, power, capacity and compactness. You can even get stocks and mounts and stuff for tactical ninja gear, now.

I still prefer the venerable 12 guage for CQB, but hey. Whatever works. And this would cerainly work

Each one to his own.

 

[Wildalaska]

Coronach, even though you are a Mod, and agree with me on this subject (which renders you almost god like)...

How dare ya use the word *bleep* in connection with the cutie carbine! Why havent you taken the pledge?????????????

I agree. I find my M1 to be a fine rifle and would be excellent for cqb; even without the para stock. I will disagree with your statement that the 30 carbine round is anemic though. I would be very distrought with having one loged inside me.

 

[bigjim]

Yup...... :d

 

[Wildalaska]

O my god I used the term CQB, Im doooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooommmmmmmmmed.......

I want a M1 Carbine! Unfortunately, it is lower on my list than some other things, maybe I should bump it up a couple.

Wild, if you ever get any in used, in decent shape, let me know!

 

[TexasRifleman]

Wild, dude......

You didn't even make it through the weekend

How the hell are the rest of us supposed to manage?
And you used it in the title of the thread no less, not even buried in the post somewhere!!!

Its very likely that if Audie Murphy was alive today he would agree with you.

 

[Mulliga]

"CQB rifle" is an oxymoron.

M1 carbines are fun, but I'd rather have a true carbine round for defense - i.e. 7.62x39 or 5.56.

 

[R.H. Lee]

hey if its good enough for charlie whitman its good enough for me.

 

[VaughnT]

The Universal that I had was a bugger to deal with. I was one step away from installing heavier recoil springs...but the company wanted it back for an inventory check. Never could get it to strip a round from the magazine under its own power.

Also, I don't think the flip switch safety on the Universal is conducive to fast, natural disengagement. Were there a crossbolt like on the Rem 870, I would give the carbine a 'go'. Until then, I'm still looking to finish the AR build.

Definitely a handy little rifle that I hope to have in my inventory some day.

 

[homeka45]

Waiting to get my 300th post, then the group buy for your vast stores of C&R M1 Carbines.

 

[armoredman]

I have to agree - M1 Carbine is an excellent handling weapon, and well capable of getting the job done at close range. I believe CorBon makes SD ammo for it now....

 

[Sylvilagus Aquaticus]

I think it does just fine for HD/short distance work, especially when you're not relegated to FMJ ammo. There are too many nice softpoint/hollowpoint rounds available, and it's one of the few rounds I reload.

An aside from my childhood:

Where I grew up, we had a constable who 'inherited' the job from her father at his death and won every subsequent election for the office until she retired shortly before her death at an advanced age, 'Sis' Dickerson. Sis carried an Enforcer in a bag everywhere she went and on more than one occasion broke up fights with it by popping off a couple of rounds when the roughnecks would have too much Pearl in their mud. Quite a gal.

Regards,
Rabbit.

I agree the M-1 carbine is the Aces.

Did anyone read the interview with Rudy of 'Survivor' fame a few months back in G&A? If you didn't here was one of the original Seals, he saw extensive action in Vietnam. What did he list as one of his favorite weapons? You guessed it, the M1/M2 Carbine. He felt that at the distances the firefights were occuring at, it was a good combination of power and low recoil, plus you could carry lots of ammo for it.

 

[Andrew Wyatt]

I think the mini-14 is a better m-1 carbine than the m-1 carbine is.

 

[Brian Maffei]

I love my M1 Carbine. It's amazingly light and handy. A joy to plink with. Ammo price is not that bad (Georgia Arms). I can even get them sent to my door with my C&R.

My only problem is they are getting to darn expensive, otherwise I'd have more than one.

 

[Wildalaska]

You?

A Universal aint an M1 carbine

[Langenator]

The only problem I can see is where do you put the M68 CCO and the AN/PAQ-4C night laser pointer?

 

[Kramer Krazy]

I agree with your sentiment.......which is why I have TWO M1 Carbines. Fortunately for me, I bought both of mine for only $139-$149 in the early '90's. I just wish I'd bought a couple of Garands when they were $199-$219. I wish the ammo was a little bit cheaper for the carbines, but I did just pick up a few bags from Georgia Arms at the Charlotte, NC show this past Saturday at $9/50......Now, I just need to take one of them to the range, again.

edit: I also wished I'd bought one of the reproduction paratrooper stocks when they were only $69. The one I saw at the gun show as $169!!! I still may buy one, some day.

 

[MrMurphy]

If it shot a bit flatter and had a bit more thump it'd be even better.

10mm M1 carbine anybody? .44 Automag?
