[Turkeyslayer 1300]

I know they exist who makes and what are prices like? Does anyone have any experience with them?

Iver Johnson ??? I know they did stuff in the M1 field..

howia (spelling) made some in Japan I have 3 I only shot one of them once it worked ok mags are hard to come by

neat little gun by a 10/22 if you want a shooter

Erma made one a while back... Marlin also had somehting "looking" like an M1...

Never owned any of them.

This is my Erma Em-1... they were also made by Iver Johnson... Magazines are really really expensive!

It works well, especially for an older rifle. $350.00 is what I paid.

though not "historicly accurate" have you looked at the Norinco one Marstar is selling? from what I hear they do shoot pretty well. just a thought...

It is a real stretch to call them "look-alikes". They have an upper handguard and a protruding magazine, but that's about where it ends.

Yeah. If anything, it looks like a G43 more than an M1 Carbine to me.

That's right. You're not the only one who has noticed this rifle looks like a G43! I was going to buy one of them to modify to look like a G43 but Marstar never has them in stock.

They seem to be out of stock for almost all Norinco products - they're even out of JW-15's now! You might want to contact them regardless, a they have this note under each page.

Note: 'stock' (availability) refers to whether or not the firearm is currently in stock. We receive shipments on a regular basis and update these pages as items are restocked. Please contact us if you want a model not shown here.

10/22 is somewhat similar in looks, but not something that would double in a movie. The Erma looks very similar.
