I bought one with a folding stock for my dad who was a WWII 101st Airborne paratrooper and gave it to him a few years back. He turns 100 March 26 2020
Happy belated birthday❤
@@jaydentabor7492 Thanks Jaden, I am hanging with dad this weekend, he is in the other room watching Hogan's Heroes..lol, I will tell him you said Happy Birthday.
Hope you have a great weekend!
Thank you for history it was great , I have One , that is, BEAUTIFUL, But I want an authentic. WW 2 , where ELSE might I look. What A Piece of history. Tom
@Eli Donoso He passed July 20th, 2020, but I thank you
I was on the Houston Police Dept from 1964 to 1990. In 1968 we had a riot at one of the local colleges. Our dept was completely unprepared and it was a mess. A short time afterwards we were contacted by a branch of the military and were offered surplus carbines. They were brand new, in crates. we contacted all the officers and purchased two hundred of the carbines for $47.00 each. Mine is a National Postal Meter brand. It took me two days to clean all the grease off of it. At one time I added the folding stock with a compensator. I also added and M-2 kit which I eventually sold. I still have this rifle and still shoot it. I can't believe what price they bring now. Great review.
Your story is so fake. All carbine where Used. They where not New in crate and you say you added a M2 kit to your is another BS story cause you can't just convert a regular m1 carbine to an M2 just because your a police officer
@@Glockaholic91 you ever happened to think that this was before 1980
Price
@@tylersullivan653Especially since are government and local agencies have been known for having brand new or like new stuff sitting around that was passed over or misplaced.

I love my old M1 .30 cal.One of the benefits that wasn't brought up is that it's brilliantly simple to strip and clean.Another missed point is reliability. I tried to see how many rounds I could fire without cleaning it. I gave up when I ran out of money to keep perforating logs and still hadn't stovepiped.Simple, light, maneuverable, accurate and reliable.
In your country firearms like this still exist and no problems acquiring it.
After sighting in at 60 feet, I could easily cover 5 shots with a nickel ruclips.net/user/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL ! Truly a pleasure to shoot! Scope was easy to adjust for eye relief. Only problem the varmints must have seen it delivered lol!Update: So impressed with shot groups at 30 yards I purchased a Hammers 3×9 with adjustable Objective scope! Now a true nail driver!

I worked with a old guy who served in Korea. He was a little man and he said he hated the Garand because it was too big for him. He opted for the carbine. And he said depending on where you shot the Chinese soldiers determined how many times you shot him. He just pulled the trigger twice in succession.
I guess that old guy you worked for must be a midget.
I just found and bought a Underwood M1 carbine the other day at a local pawnshop for 600 bucks with most of the early features intact and appears to have the original barrel & stock and no import marks and in excellent condition to boot..Six hundred for one in that condition and still retaining most of the early WW2 features is a steal in 2018!!
My Dad was a 1Lt. In the engineers in WW2. He carried a 45 and was issued a M1 when he landed on Utah Beach on D-Day. He liked the weapon and carried it for the rest of the war. The lighter weight was good for him since he carried a lot a maps and manuals.
The few the proud the marines🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

You’re dad was a hero 👍
I touched it for the first time 40 years ago and fell in love with it, and I still want it .
The sound of the slide clanging is beautiful music to my ear (the only ear that works after decades of fun).
Why were they popular with soldiers? Here’s 300 rounds of carbine and here’s 300 rounds of .30-06. Which would you prefer to carry? Never underestimate a soldiers desire to carry less weight.
Unlike some others on you tube, you are versed in what you are showing. No giggling and guessing. Great video, thanks.
Exactly. I hate that childish, crap. Save the antics for the gaming channel crowd!! That consists of nothing but easily-entertained children anyway! 😂
My father was an infantry lineman during the Korean War. He carried the M-2. He had nothing but praise for that rifle.
The M1 Carbine was a favorite among soldiers during WW2 and after the war into Korea and the 1950s with it's versilitility being an advantage over full sized rifles and submachine guns.
I still have my father's. He was a Lance Corporal in the Marines. He was in DeNang from 69 to 72
Citizen Soldier by Stephen Ambrose had a story about an American Captain doing reconnaissance D-Day plus one or two, I can't remember. I am telling this by memory. Anyway, this Captain happened on a German Machine gun nest that opened fire on him from about hundred yards out. He took out BOTH gunners with head shots using his M1 Carbine. I was very impressed with that story.
I carried an M-1 Carbine during the L.A. Riots. Worked out great. I had no problem carrying 2-300 rounds. Mostly 15 round magazines. Ball and some AP.Most engagements were at less than 200 feet. 2 or 3 guys can lay down a pretty good base of cover fire from almost any shooting position. Forget folding stocks, the standard stock is much better balanced and easier to aim. Just to the north of us, the Koreans on roof tops were working mainly with UZIs which I didn’t think was particularly efficient. But in general they did exhibit good fire discipline.
Joe B why? U cant shoot anyone with it.
#RooftopKoreans Damn, we sure could’ve used some of them last summer!💥☠️
There is/was no “AP” ammunition for a M1 Carbine. I call B/S as being a Army Veteran.

looks like a good apocalypse gun. Simple, rugged, accurate.

Nah, that title goes to an AR-15. Or maybe long-slide 1911s and Glocks. Why? Parts availability. End of story.
+Scowler "long slide 1911's"..
+Scowler Parts availability shouldn't be a problem, you usually don't need to change out the parts of a reliable weapon. But ammo would be harder to find for this gun.
Josh Man
Parts availability is an issue, especially with a scavenged weapon and/or varying types of ammo being cycled through at a given time, which leads to an inconsistent maintenance cycle.
Even in a factory new gun, there's no telling what parts are defective until they finally break. Which also makes aftermarket a huge deal. Common firearms fitted with uncommon upgrades are more valuable when bartering.
Keep in mind with inflation $45.00 USD in 1940 is about $768.55 USD today.
good
Er...that's actually something I prefer to forget....
Vote Trump! Stop the inflation and bring mfg jobs back!
Well that is sad.
But remember, taxes were much less back then as well
So simple , reliable and ideal for bush or town use . Still one of the best to carry in the farm truck.
M1 Gerand and M-1 Carbine are differently my favorite rifles
I love the metallic sound that weapon made every time you pulled back the charging handle!
One of my favorite things about this rifle.
Its the BCG. Bolt carrier group. The bolt is a rotating moving bolt. It can be a pain in the neck to take out and put back in when field stripping. I have to play around with it to get it out and back in. The military video below gives an idea even the GI had to play with it. The OP rod or operating rod or slide moves the bolt, op rod spring loaded guide rod and piston driven. Other than the bolt its fairly easy to field strip. Full take down of the bolt and all parts can be challenging. :-)

it sounded like an M14EBR
I just bought a WW2 Winchester M1 Carbine in very good condition, it cost me approx. 530$ (USD). Greetings from Denmark :)
You can't touch one for that now. I have one and love it!!
you're allowed to buy rifles in denmark?
👍.
I paid $200.00 for mine.
Cops Got mine 🤨.
That lightly oiled wood work says military origins. I went through a few surplus M1 carbines back in the sixties. All the stocks had been oiled as a finish. I can still smell my first M1 carbine.

Came into possession through an estate settlement. Quite unexpected and after cleaning the dust bunnies and taking it down, I cleaned it up, refinished the stock and have a beautiful unit with a Winchester stamp under the rear sight. This is a welcome addition to my small cabinet of arms. I intend keeping it the family as it is truly an excellent piece.
Treasure it.
My uncle had one as a squad leader in the Pacific. Hit a Japanese Soldier multiple times center mass (8 times as I remember) with no stopping power. Threw it away and took up a Garand from one of his unfortunately killed Marines. “Threw it in the surf” as I recall him saying. They also “dum dum-ed” their 306 rounds with bolt cutters as many engagements were up close. Garand ate them all and spit out death. When he went to Korea as a Plt Sgt, he held on to the Garand at Chosin. Killed a lot of CHICOMs.
After my two years active duty were completed in 1966 I was attached to an active reserve unit and we fired these carbines . They were extremely accurate up to about 100 yards and the recoil was negligible .
Great review. I love my new Auto Ordinance M1 carbine. Small, light, handles well, carries in car, on tractor, over shoulder well. And fun to shoot.
My uncle carried one in Korea and loved it.
What you have is the Korean War config of the M1 carbine. The WW2-era Carbine did not feature bayonet lugs and adjustable rear sights.
Such a classy looking work of art.
+Loffen NYR I think they did right at the tail end of the war, but the ones already out there were not retrofitted until after the war.
loffen nyr my 1943 inland has bayonet lugs and adjustable sights
My 44 Winchester has 2 way adjustable rear site
Loffen NYR I was going to say the same thing.
'43 Inland, same way.
Love the M1 Carbine! Other than an Underwood M1 I inherited, my favorite is an Inland M1 with Detroit Police Department markings I found at a pawnshop in Indiana. Fantastic littleshooter that rode around in a squad car in my hometown decades before I was born and could have seen deployment during the riots in the 60's.
Treasure them.
Wow great find
Good and fun little gun that packs plenty of power at intermediate ranges. The really cool thing is that Ruger actually produced Blackhawk revolvers for the 30 carb. That would be a neat pair.
Ah, thanks, I've had questions surrounding the issue of the use of the M1 Carbine cartridges in revolvers. There's at least one example.
No one does a better job at describing weapons like you. Great job man
Very good review! This guy is knows the weapon and a good speaker as well. I have had 3 of these. My dad brought a Winchester from the NRA in 1967, An IBM I bought in 1985 and a Saginaw GM purchased in 1990. Loved them all! Good offhand shooter and light to carry. Wonderful review of a wonderful bygone era rifle! Keep up the good work and thanks.
It was really cool seeing this review. The M1 carbine is the same rifle that I carried in 2008 when I was a Detroit police officer. Believe it or not I work at a specialized unit in Detroit and we carried the M1 Carbine and a Remington 870 12 gauge shotgun.
+Adam I figure you weren't outgunned. Given the development level of Detroit, criminals must be armed with rocks and spears.
+gophop Hey gophop, that was really funny but, yeah we were always outgunned. The bad guys always had better guns than we did.
+Adam The departments didn't let you buy your own gear?
+75ShadowShooter Not back then. I think the guys there are now allowed to purchase their own rifle. They now allow the guys to carry updated carbines.
+75ShadowShooter Not always true. When I was a LEO, we had to buy our own handguns. As long as they met minimum caliber we were given lot of freedom. One of my friends carried a 1911. I sometimes carried a 44 magnum.
One time I planned a tent camping trip deep deep deep in the backwoods. I narrowed down my choice of a “camp rifle” between my Winchester M1 carbine or to take the Ruger Mini-30 for this particular trip. For whatever reason, I choose the Ruger by a flip of a coin. Well, nothing against the M1 Carbine, but one night at camp, I was so glad I brought the Ruger Mini-30…. For a huge black bear came-a-knocking and he was pretty agitated and kept advancing even when we all yelled at it, threw rocks at it and tried desperately to shew it away. Retreat was impossible as we were trapped by dense brush on three side of our tent. There was only one way in and one way out and the bear blocked that path. Let’s just say that I was glad to have the 7.62x39 round over the .30carbine that night. …But I do LOVE the M1 carbine.
If yours is a postal meter you actually have a more collectable and highly saught version than a winchester because winchester made more.
Nice video. I really like the M1 Carbine too. Just a polite FYI. "Corrosive" center fire cartridges only have a corrosive primer that releases corrosive salts into the firearm when fired. It wouldn't have any effect on the outside appearance of the bullet or case.
The m1 carbine and the m14 are the two rifles I would love to have . 2 awesome service weapons , The M1 is light weight , accurate , 200 yards , 30 cal. Just incredible design for back then . Timeless perfection. I'd take it over the garrant. The m1 is very nice with the punch of a 357 .Well done on this video , thanks for the great historical info.
I have a friend of mine on Twitter who was issued the M14 during his service in the Army back in the late 60s.
At 250 yards, the energy is equivalent to a 9mm at point blank. Bayonet lugs are only on the ones that went back thru arsenal Original ones made during the great war did not have them. . The rear sight you show is the second generation of sights. Defiantly thumbs way up. Got mine for 25.00 w/ shipping to my door in the late 60's. Was just sitting there on my door step, unmolested, when I got home from work in Chicago of all places. LOL How times change.
pr4runner Yea thanks to Obummer
Same with the safety. Was a push button early on.
Very informative, I have had one for many years. Love it, it is what I carry on trips with me as well as a 45 on a model 1911 frame.
Treasure them.
One of the very best reviews on any type of forearm :
no BS, straight to the point,
extremely comprehensive,
excellent camera work.
That is the best gun! I absolutely love mine, i got it from my husband 28 years ago!
Treasure it.
old school cool
Tactical just like sootch!
Love my M1 carbine, she's an Inland, 1944 and her name is "Sweetheart"! Will keep her till the day I die. Way easier to maintain and use than my service M16.
Same here you won't get it till I die that's for sure
Treasure it
My dad pick me one up in 1982 as my first gun, and I loved it.
It was stolen along with all my dad's guns in 1984. Never recovered as far as I know!
I heard about massive amount fully equipped M1 's Korea wants to ship but are told illegal . Ohh would love to see they come home. Seeing them will make you cry .
I was wondering just how to make dream's come true. And the boxes would be back in USA. PS : mint condition m ones with all equipment
Never owned a gun but I’m leaning towards one of this
You won’t be disappointed
Do it, they’re only going to get more expensive
Its a great first choice
I'd look for a rifle in a more common caliber than .30 carbine.
@@rainman4494 ppp
I have a auto-ordnance Worcester MA and I love it, soon I'll be getthing a M1 carbine paratrooper stock can't wait for it
Really enjoyed your comments on the much loved M1 carbine. So much history behind it and so much maligned by some. Mine is a WWII issue made by Inland but or course most likely with a combination of parts by other manufacturers from that time. It still is a good weapon as home defense as it has the stopping power equal to a 357 for close quarters. Keep those videos coming!
And the first weapon picked up in Call Of Duty, The M1 Carbine was the gun kicked off an entire blockbuster series that had it's origins in the WW2 era then Modern Warfare, Black Ops and Warzone.
One error is that the bayonet lug was removed by the military and replaced with a simple band. That bayonet band was a late feature and was added to every M1 carbine during rebuild.
Hell Yes! Somebody finally mentioned Sgt. Rock!!!!!
scooth: if this rifle could tell a story.
m1carbine: i was in a box for 60 years, what do you want from me!?
- If i had to only keep one gun, this is the one! I would never sell my Rock-ola!
Treasure it.

Hi i am indian
great
Sir i i want to have an m1 carbine to remember my late grand father who are member of the USAFFE and LGAF under the command of Lt.Robert Lapham...and member of the 45th infantry regiment..he have a cal.30m1 garand before but when he died i dont know where hes riffle. Greetings from the philippines....
That is my favorite gun...... Long live America....
Garand is better
When I shot mine for the first time I was only used to bolt actions and lever actions besides a shot gun I would shoot for skeet and trap that was the only semi auto gun I shot so when I shot my M1 I pulled it back and chambered a round shot it and then tried pulling it back again and then I remembered it was a semi auto
One of my favorite rifles. Never misses the mark. 🎯
i like when you talk about history back in the day sootch. keep up the good work you do.
I own one of these. My favorite weapon. Had one in Vietnam. More reliable than m16
John Gilder that is cool
Okay boomer.
@obrbob194 M-16A2 and A4 were some damn fine rifles.
Thank you for your service,im sorry you came back to the disrespect you soldiers were shown,had two buddies go and return...much respect.
BoogalooBoy1776 they were trash back then.
At 5:03 "They removed these later on". Only the early M1s in WW2 didn't have bayo lugs. By Korea, they were standard issue. I'm not nit-picking.
I have several hundred of them that I purchased at an auction. Thank you America for letting them get out on the market.
Let your readers know how to contact you.

forgot to mention IBM produced carbines. Got one of those even the matching IBM barrel. pretty cool that IBM actually made firearms back in the day. Back when they were American. lol
IBM also produced and supplied the computing machines and paper ballots that were used by the Nazi's to keep up with concentration camp prisoners. FYI
My Grandpa James Ledbetter was a Staff Sergeant in the Mighty Eighth Air Force in World War 2 and He served as a mechanic on the B-52’s in Europe. He used a M1 Carbine in the service and after the war He bought a M1 Carbine out of a bin for $12. It was made by IBM and it has all of its original parts. My Grandpa passed away 3 weeks after I was born and I never got to know him but I will inherit his old war rifle and that means the world to me.

While stationed in Korea from 1974 to 1975, The ROK had soldiers on platforms in the middle of key intersections at key checkpoints. Their mission was to be vigilant in the event of PDROK "agent s" trying to enter or leave via vehicle. The ROK soldiers on those platforms were armed with the M1 carbine.
My older brother was a radio man driving big brass around in his jeep in Korea. He carried a 1911 45 Cal. in a shoulder holster, and always had a M1.30 cal. within reach. He liked that carbine so much that when he got home, he bought a 44 Magnum Ruger carbine which looked similar, for deer hunting.
Love my M1 carbine! I've had mine for 41 yrs now. Bought it as "brand new old stock". Still wrapped in its original oil paper. Stuck barrel down in a steel oil drum with about 30 of it's siblings at a gun show. Back when you could still get them for, l think it was $50.
I've probably put 10,000 rounds through it over the years. I pair it with my Ruger Blackhawk chambered for the .30 carbine round as well. I like the versatility of being able to carry a sidearm and rifle that share the same round.
But your not at war.
@@Kitiwake But l have been. In fact, three wars. What's your point asswipe?
In my opinion, the best American small arm in WW2, after the M1911. It was the closest US military had to an modern Assault Rifle, on that time. It was versatile (could be used in both close and medium distances) had low recoil and still very powerful for such a pistol-like cartridge. It was ideal for most firefights during WW2, specialy in urban and jungle areas.
I own a M1 Carbine and the M1 Grand I love them both
1968 they were advertised at $50 in Ye Old Hunter inside back cover of the American Rifle magazine
My Papa carried the Carbine when he turned into a Guerilla after the fall of the Philippines in WW2. He said that it's lightweight was the biggest advantage. We later found out that he was trained to be a flame thrower operator. The carbine must be his side arm. He never mentioned about being a flame thrower operator.... miss him every day....
God bless the Greatest Generation....
When I was in basic training USAF in 1966 we trained with the M16 which was newly introduced to the USAF ... however, when I entered the Security Police Tech School they trained us with the M1 Carbine and we were shooting out 100-200-300 yards out. I always loved the M1 Carbine growing up and its design and lightweight and very versatile, so finally getting to shoot it was great. When I moved on we always used the M16 as our duty weapon of choice. I later was stationed at Clark AB in the Philippines when we also trained and used the Thompson Submachine Gun and the Grease Gun. Found that very note testing since they were sort of our dated and used in WWII and Korea. Also, the Philippines military was using the M1 Carbines at times. During that tour I was deployed to Suwon AB, Korea because of the capture of the Pueblo and we carried out M16 along with us and later trained with the M60 machine guns and XM148 grenade launchers. We were later replaced by state side reserve units and they brought with them M1 Carbines. They were taken from them and hey were trained with M16 rifles. There was a warehouse hat had at least 500 plus M1Carbines stored in it ... a M1 Carbine lovers paradise 😎 .... knowing the US Government they probably turned them over to South Korea. They also were using the M1 Carbines. In a later tour in Vietnam they also used the M1 Carbine. So the 6 million plus made surely got around. I’m still looking for an M1 Carbine reasonably priced and all original manufactures parts and in good condition. Most have found are $1000 plus. Great presentation with you video THANKS!
Franklin Field Jr. what did u think of the M16? The Dragonman says its crap and caused countless usa deaths by jamming. Dragonman is ex nam vet and has a cool channel.
Sootch00: I have to stop watching your vids, you're breaking my bank account! Now I have to go out and get the U S M-1 Carbine, "IF" I can find one....Keep up your great vids!
My favorite rifle hands down. This is the best video I've watched on the M1 Carbine and I've watched many. You're a natural with that weapon.
Same here the M1 Carbine was a favorite among soldiers back in the day and still now in civilian ownership.
Great review. Wish I had picked one up back in the late 80's and 90's when they were cheap!
same here
Vietnam vet buddy of mine is a dealer in vintage US military weapons and gear. I told him a few years ago I'd like to have an M1 Carbine. He came through not long after with the one I have today. A Winchester made in 1943 (serial number verified), all numbers match, has bayonet lug (and he had a WWII bayonet with sheath). $750 for them. It's not for sale and may not be until I can't breath anymore.
I know an old South Korean ex special forces guy who done an unbroken 4 year tour of Vietnam 64-68 this was his weapon of choice ive seen photos of him with one in the jungle.
Thx for doing this review sootch00 one of my favorite per-war weapons
I bought one of these in Melbourne, Australia in 1978 (with a scope and an extra 30 shot magazine) all up for AU $120.00 . Then our stupid knee-jerk government banned semi auto rifles in 1996 and I had to hand it in and I was paid $250.00 AUD for handing it in (no choice) To this day, I am bitter towards Australia's PrimeMinister of the day, John Howard, and his tough and ridiculous gun laws which only disarmed LAW ABIDING CITIZENS of their weapons and left us at the mercy of armed criminals.
Be careful America, do not EVER give up your right to bear arms and protect your family and property!
Yeah hope.you kept it because you can buy the ar15 which is semi auto
What if you didnt turn in?
You get a nice pair of metal wrist bracelets
How many times have you been robbed or attacked in any way since you gave up your gun?
dead space no there has been but media doesn’t talk about it
SGT. Rock! Great reference to a comic book classic.
Someday I'd love to own a vintage M-1 Carbine, the patina on the wood and metal telling a story or two.
My dad was in the Signal Corps in WWII as a radio repairman, mainly tank radio repairs. He was issued an M-1 carbine and somehow made a deal with a supply sergeant to trade it for an M-2 with a folding stock. His buddies all wanted to borrow it for guard duty since it had a canvas holster for hip carry. I have no idea how he traded the rifles and whether or not he let his friends borrow the M-2 for guard duty. He told me this story back in the early seventies.
I really enjoyed the video, keep up the great work!
June 25 ,1950 - The gun that saved the Republic of Korea from death in 1953 ,
American soldier is the guardian of freedom , respect , thank you .
This is a fantastic video. Informative at all levels. Concise and well delivered speech. Kudos 👍
I shot the M-1 during Air Force basic training. Great carbine,light, accurate. Only drawback was the spent shells ejected towards the back. Nothing like hot shell casing on your neck!
Button up top button on shirt! lol
Then there was some problem with the rifle. One of the specifications, and changes made, demanded by the military, was that they eject the spent cartridges forward.
WW2 IBM model here, in really good condition. What a great firearm.
I've had much better penetration w/30 carbine over .357 magnum.
Treasure it
I OWN A PLAINFIELD!
My grandfather gave an M-1 for my high school graduation! I still have it and it's a lot of fun to shoot!
M2 Carbine was the ultimate M1 made,.coming out for US military use late in 1944/1945 and serving on in Korea & early stages of Vietnam in US use as well as in continuous use in countless foreign militaries from 1950s till mid 1980s
a great rifle, Used one while in the army in 1960's , if sited in correctly it didn't miss .

Carried mine from 1961 until discharged in 67. Finally could afford to buy my one. Love it, still carry it today with the stupidity that the liberals are allowing.
Thank you for serving, gents

The bayonet lugs were not removed later , they were added at the very end of WW2 and used in Korea and later Viet Nam. The M3 trench knife was adapted with a fitting to lock into the lug and is known as the M4 bayonet. I have an original Inland made in 1944 and love it. My safety is not the lever as is pictured on yours , but the button push through version. I have dropped my mag many times while trying to come off safety. Not a good thing to happen in combat ! A good reason to change to the lever version. Great review !
From your accent I assume you are from Georgia, South Carolina or Tennessee. Am I right ? I am a Jawja native myself and still kickin' the red clay to this day .
I've been wondering about the bayonet. I have two that came with it I haven't tried. Also various spare parts, org folding stock and accessories I got from my dad. To top it off it's a Winchester I love it!!
I like the M2 carbine. The "problem" with stopping power on the battle field is that it is illegal to use hollow-points during war. Not so for civilians.
This is my favorite rifle, I shoot it more than my AR15
I read some account of an NYPD cop wich was part of a "Stakeout" squad in NY in the 70s, he said he had some troubles running an M1 with hollow points
My Father carried a BAR all over the Pacific during WWII. After the war,he discovered that his right arm was 1/2 inch longer than his left. Heavy weapon, nearly 20 lbs. R.I.P. Dad.
Purchased my Underwood M1 carbine in 1985. Has a 4 digit serial number. Excellent condition.
I have owned 3 of these Beauties in the past. I am 80yrs, a 💯 Disabled Vietnam Vet. In 2008 I found a House I wanted to Purchase. I needed $2000. For Closing Costs. Had to sell three of my firearms in order to get that money. One of them was my M1 Carbine. That little Carbine got me a Home. It Served its purpose. It saved this Vet fm living on the street. GOD Bless everyone.
Great video!

I've seen so many articles poo poo ing the M 1 so I am glad to see it's still around.
It's a sweet gun I have several love shooting them
I have a U S M-1 Carbine made by IBM now known ac a computer co.
The garland was really heavy to carry. It weighed about 9 pounds. Carbine was smaller easy to carry liked it
That rifle is one of the reasons I liked the mini 14 back when they first came out.
I just order one from the CMP. As in, mailed in the paperwork today.

How easy is it to get into the CMP?
+Scowler To order a rifle from them you need proof a citizenship/age, proof of being involved in a shooting activity (having a CCP counts), and be a member of a CMP affiliated club. You also have to mail all this stuff in, as they don't take phone calls or online rifle sales. But they can mail the gun directly to your house unless you live in NY or NJ

Cool. Sounds simple.
+Wilbur Yuen didn't think that the CMP have them any more that you can order, auction only.
+GREG DAVIAN They just received a small shipment, I got a notification from CMP 2 days ago about it. From the description of it condition I passed as I already have a shooter that works for me.
Love my M-1 (Universal)
God bless the United States of America and save the Republic! AMEN! ...
I went into the Army in 1963. The Garands were gone and we had the M-14 in basic. I did my two years active and went into a reserve unit for 4 active years. We used the M-1 Carbine. We actually got to fire it once a year. Our range had metal human designs and when hit made a little ping noise at 200 yards. One of the officers brought out his Garand so we could try it and the pings sounded like explosions compared to the Carbine. We all decided we wanted the M-14 at least if push came to shove.
It's a nice gun. Light and simple in removing and assembly. It was used by The Army of Republic of Vietnam in the Vietnam war.
