Modern carbine in... .30 carbine?

[DMK]

"My point is that there is a whole generation of shooters with little experience with a light, handy, easy to shoot weapon like the M1 Carbine."

Owlnmole I'm going to have to disagree with you there. Granted, I've never been graced with a chance to shoot an M1 Carbine, however M4geries are very light, easy to handle, I don't think the AR design has much recoil at all, and have quite a bit of utility.

I have an M1 carbine and I have a few ARs, built the way ARs are supposed to be, light and handy. There isn't an HBAR in the lot.

The AR is nowhere near as light and handy as an M1 Carbine. Plus the AR can't have a real folding stock due to the buffer tube.

What I'd like to see is a little 5lb M1 Carbine clone, chambered in .223

Though it saddens me to say it, a revival of popularity is very unlikely. The .30 carbine cartridge has become a historical niche round. The intermediate "assault rifle" rounds have replaced it. In fact, the AR15/M16 was originally intended as an M1/M2 carbine replacement for the USAF.

That said, if your carbine reliably feeds SP or SJHP, you have a dandy home defense gun.

In the past I have seen .45 Win Mag conversion's, and sadly I did'nt get any.
These are std Military, shorter folding stock, enforcer pistol, and an AMT auto mag III
