My new M1 Carbine!

[chizzle]

I have two 30 carbine rifles & one handgun, Too bad ammo is so expensive to shoot

I always thought 30 carbine ammo was cheap per round; it isn't often you buy rifle ammo in boxes of 50 rounds

Range time...got my first one this past May SOCOM 16...Love it !!!

Love my 30 carbine, It was shipped back from Korea when they were done with it (interesing history). The 'Blue Sky Country' importer stamp on the barrel was so heavy it affected the accuracy. I re-barreled it for cheap, but hopefully thats not somthing too many people have to deal with.

I bought my carbine in '87 or '88 in Anderson at a gunshop on 53rd st. I got it and a Ruger Blackhawk in .30 carbine also. The Ruger is an ear killer. Worse than probably any other handgun I own.
Congrats and be sure to remember the hearing protection

Okay, I don't have it yet. I just won the auction on Gunbroker, but by this time next week I should be fondling my new (to me) Iver-Johnson M1 Carbine.

So stoked.

And for only $406! (plus shipping & ffl of course)

Are you going to leave it stock, or race it up a little? Here's mine just to give you some ideas:

Hijack: Carbine guys...anybody found any good ammo deals lately. None of the big guys are doing free shipping right now so it makes your price per round on 30 carbine ammo a bit steeper. Cheapest decent ammo I'm seeing online is about 41 cents per round prior to shipping.

Take a look at http://www.cheaperthandirt.net/Default.aspx?gclid=CMytp-rIxrECFYeo4AodMkkA0Q

Tulammo and Aguila are fairly cheap there. Can't say one way or the other regarding Tulammo (haven't fired it yet) but the Aguila is excellent and the brass is reloadable.

OP...congrats on your new M1!!! Your gonna love it!
