Chiappa M1 Carbines in 9mm!!!!!!! Non Restricted

[#1bcshooter]

Just bought a synthetic model from CSC. A more detailed review and range report to follow (I'll post in the black rifle section), but generally:

- both rear and front sights are steel
- barrel band/bayonet lug is plastic/polymer (and no a bayonet will not attach at the rear lug, but it does fit over the barrel at the front - I have not checked to see if a USGI part will fit, but can't imagine it won't)
- trigger guard is plastic/polymer
- mag adapter/mag well is aluminum
- USGI oiler and sling fit with no issues.
- USGI stock would require some work to fit, but overall dimensions seem correct.- mag included is indeed a pro-mag, and is ok quality wise.
- weight and size compared to my 43' national postal meter is pretty much bang on.

So you tried it in your real M1 stock & it didn't fit ?

Pre-ordered a synthetic one. Someone knows where I can find cheap Beretta 96 mags?

Any bayonetes available to fit this rifle for a good price? Preferably in Canada.

 

[Kryogen]

The bayonet mount is fake.

My M1 fits reasonably well in the synthetic chiappa stock, but the USGI stock would require fitting for the chiappa receiver.

Had it out at the range this weekend and put 100 rounds through it without a hitch. The JR seems to pattern compared to the groups this produced.

My JR hits what I'm shooting at .
Its not the function or accuracy (good or bad) of these M1 9mm its the construction & appearance that has turned me off.
I'm sure others find no problem with it & that's fine with me

 

[GundamZero]

For the guys who have one. Does your bolt lock back on a empty mag? Mine doesnt :-(

 

[cableguy]

Mine doesn't.

And does your bolt lock back button seem inconsistent....looks like mine doesn't have a deep enough indent for the button to catch the edge.

All in all....it's accurate and jam free so far.
