I'll admit to knowing very little about the M1 Carbine - except that I did not take advantage of the CMP's Carbines when I could have. Rats.
Advantages: light, relatively accurate, easy to reload straight wall cartridges, WWII cool, collectable.
Disadvantages: Little surplus ammo, only relatively accurate, an expensive plinker.
I understand there's some new production Carbines. However the parts don't interchange with the originals and there's lots of intrawebz grousing about reliability.
Your thoughts?
