    Hmmm IIRC the chinese actually manufactured some m1 carbines at one point.

    From what little I've read the twist rate of a M1carbane,not a tack driver to start with,would have trouble stablizing a heaver bullet. And it'd give you less powder to work with.

    Some of the douchebaggery in this thread, especially about unrealistic calibres is worthy of a double face palm.

    Confusion between the M1 Garand and the M1 Carbine .30, no doubt.

    With tulammo almost being given away. I'd say make in 30 carbine. Even if non-restricted I would probably have to pass. These things make ruger anything look good and the 10/22 even better.

    I am with John on this one folks. Either you know what you are talking about and make an intelligent and useful contribution or don't say anything at all.

    That's like saying I would love a Walther PPK in .50 AE.

    Jesus. Read a book!
    +2 on the PPK in .50 AE.


    but yes tula ammo seems very feesable price for 50 rounds id hop on that train

    I haven't read all 9 pages, so maybe someone's mentioned this already. A US source (I think it was an NRA announcement) said that import of approx. 87,000 Garands and something like 700,000 m1 carbines has been given a big O.K. for import from South Korea back to the US.

    The US Dept of State was against it, but was bypassed for reasons that I think had to do with them being "curios and relics".

    Maybe some will make their way up here?

    You could be right. Carbines have a twist rate of 1 in 20.
