Norinco M1 carbine, is it possible?

M1 carbine 18.5" in 7.62x25TT for the win!

x2 We defiantly need a 7.62x25 carbine.

Norinco would never produce an M1 Carbine in 30-30, however they may be convinced to re-produce the M1 Carbine with a 19" barrel so it is non-restricted in Canada, and legal in certain American States.

AFAIK, It is still not legal to import a firearm from China into the U.S. Trust me, They'd be swimming in M305s if it were.

yes and no. they can as long as they are not a military design, hence to ithaca 37 clones that stevens was selling and the 1887 and 1897 winehster shotguns, with the exception of the 97 trench gun.

Norinco better give into our demands for all the free advertising they've been getting.

The M1 Carbine was a short (hence Carbine) Semi-Automatic Rifle that fired the .30 Carbine (Metric 7.62x33) rimless cartridge. I believe the M1 Carbine was the only rifle ever produced that chambered this cartridge.

There was a company in Britain that made a FEW Enfields modified to fire .30c.
Also, while not rifles, Israel made the unreliable Magal, Columbia made the Cristobal Carbine, and currently FAMAE is making the CT-30 police carbine in .30c Taurus also produces the CT-30 under license.

But that's about it.

I'm personally kinda confused by the 7.62x25TT suggestions...but, meh.

[Colt .45]

7.62x25tt suggestions are because 7.62x25tt milsurp is back in the country.

[gaff]

M1 carbine 19" crome lined barrel 7.62x25tt . this would be the bomb.

M1 carbine 18.5" in 7.62x25TT for the win!

LOL

Hopes and dreams man!

[truenorth777]

i'll put my two cents in with the 7.62x25 crowd. cheap surplus ammo is what's missing in the M1 .30 carbine equation. no point having a low dollar gun with high ammo costs.
...maybe canada ammo can come out with a combo package for this too! (norinco M1 carbine with a case of 7.62x25 for $??? :-)

I would love to have an M1 carbine in 7.62 x 54R
