M1 Carbine
A friend of mine got a hankering for a real WWII M1 Carbine.
Another friend had just offered these for sale.
So I get to fondle and play with these until friend #1 gets down here to pick them up.
One is a Saginaw and the other is a Irwin-Pedersen
The
Irwin-Pedersen is the rarer of the two. Recently, CMP received a batch of German returned M1 Carbines that were used in German Prisons, by the Forestry Service, and other post-war (immediate post-war) German (broken down by Federal State such as the Bavarian Forestry Service) agencies. For the last several years they have been selling ...
What the Marines used to call out during the Chosin Reservoir concerning the M1, "AIM FOR THE HEAD!" The Chinese wore those thick pad pajama uniforms.

Carbine? Why yes, its a great close in rifle. My wife likes to shoot the carbine alot. she like the low recoils and the low weight so much that I had to get her her own rifle so she could stop shooting mine! .30 carbine is still plentiful enough and cheap by comparison to other odd caliber rounds. I will never get rid of my carbines. just a jack of most trades really.
