My new M1 Carbine!

[indygunguy]

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)

Heck Yeah! Gotta love carbines! I acquired one just recently. It's a "blast".

Fun little gun, very little recoil & it has decent accuracy

 

[iauffenberg]

i love my carbine sweet little gun i just dont get it out much anymore just to many other fun guns

 

[gunman41mag]

Only thing I don't like is the 30 carbine ammo is expensive

Congratulations on your score! You are a lucky man. The carbine was the first center-fire I learned to shoot.

Awesome! I really like the M1 Carbine, would love to get one of those and a Garand. Just love those WWII firearms....

My carbine was purchased by my father after he got out of the army in the 1950's(it was is issue weapon). He bought it at a K Mart .
It's sad the the ammo is so darn expensive and hollow points are just out of sight.

I have a plainfield m1 that i love to go out and shoot. Like gunman said, very little recoil. Word of advice, if you find a decent price on ammo, buy a lot of it. It's harder to find and normally runs pretty high. Or you could pick up reloading like I did. It's a fun hobby.

I have an IAI clone while not a GI issue she is a joy to shoot. Hardly no recoil, great house gun. What I read it's comparable to light .357 while that's no .30-06 I still don't want to be shot by one. In my op it was America's first assault rifle. Starting to get ready to reload since harder to find ammo locally sometimes. Enjoy it!

I bought a M1 Carbine back in March and I can vouch for the other comments--a fun gun to shoot. Congratulations on your purchase!

So YOUR the A$$ that outbid me!!!???? (Just kidding)

M1 Carbines are a BLAST. Literally ! That .30 Carbine round has a BOOM all it's own. Wear ear protection and enjoy!

I wan to get the M1 Carbine action in a synthetic stock. I saw one today at Westforth and it was nice to hold and the grip was much small for the hand than the traditional wood grip

 

[indygunguy]

Now I just need to score a few hundred piece of brass... let the reloading begin!

 

[Plisken]

Enjoy that carbine. I went into a gun shop one time looking for one and came home with an ar-15. Love that gun to

The seller in picture 8 seemed aweful young.

Or was the the buyers pic?

They are a blast to shoot. Regarding ammo....the only stuff I ever see under 30 cents per round is Tula. It may shoot ok but I don't care for their 5.56 ammo so I am hesitant to try their 30 carbine

Last time I bought some I got some Armscor From cheaper than dirt for 33 cents per round.

Good deal OP. You're gonna like the little carbine.
I shoot a lot of Prvi Partizan 30 Carbine ammo with good results. Reloadable brass too.
Check out the buttstock mag pouches at Olongapo Outfitters.

 

[gunman41mag]

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

Reload gunman. Get that press smoking!!
It's an easy cartridge to reload. Just watch your case length.
Components can be scarce at times. More so than components for some other cartridges.
