About the M1 carbine, I think I'd really enjoy something that closely resembled the ones with the full wood stock but perhaps chambered for a more current cartridge . . . say .223 or even 7.62x39.

But I think something like that would be on NJ's "we're not gonna let you have one" list.

What gun cleaning products are you guys using? I've decided to give the M-Pro7 line a try. So far I'm loving it. The LPX makes actions and slides so smooth.

PHXLT1 · 08-23-2016, 05:30 PM

Hmm...never even considered the oil I use.

On the one hand, very few commercial M1 carbines are made to accept USGI parts. Some even have cast receivers. There are new offerings by Inland (not the same company as the Inland that made M1 carbines for gov contract in WWII, they can just legally use the name) but I have not heard much about them other than they are more expensive than an original M1 carbine. Link: https://www.inland-mfg.com/index.html

On the other I have never heard of one being chambered for anything but .30 carbine. Nothing wrong with 30 carbine.

Original M1 carbines are not delicate relics or dangerous to shoot. They are over-engineered. Hell, my own almost doesn't require lubrication and it will ten ring a 50 foot pistol target at 100 yards. In addition, Almost all .30 carbine ammo is non-corrosive, even in the '40s, and the majority of original carbines still have good original barrels.

Recoil is mild, as well. The M1 carbine is the perfect small rifle in my opinion. I do wish .30 carbine ammo was cheaper though.

The mrs and i need a little more practice. We both started out slow but started warming up. I should have brought a little more ammo. The mrs is up top and mine is below.

Good stuff used it years ago, or the earlier version. Good point just like your Camaro you have to properly maintain your firearm.

I use Ed Brown oil and TW-25 grease. Espically for my 1911's things that slide get greased, things that rotate get lightly oiled along with all other parts that are steel.

Looks like you fired twice as many rounds as your wife did there PHXLT1....lol or maybe the rest of hers went though the big hole she shot out.

Haha! Yeah, thats because her gun only has a 6- 8 round mag, mine has a 16 round. She fired 3 mags to my 2. The point being is that we need more practice.

I don't think I've ever left the range thinking I brought too much ammo.

.....well... maybe .50 cal

PHXLT1 · 08-24-2016, 10:26 AM

The mrs and i went to Shooters World. They only give you an hour so i brought enough to last an hour. We shot more than expected.

Amazing how easy it is for that to happen. When I've gone to the range with my son (his card and pistols), I don't think we've ever fired fewer than 300 rounds between the two of us - and that's with only one of us shooting at any given time.

Last couple of times out, we reloaded from bulk bags instead of boxes of 50.
