Norinco M1 carbine, is it possible?

[Paden Full]

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

OK...Seriously?!? An M1 carbine in 7.62X54R. Do you even know what rifle you are talking about?

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!

 

[lone-wolf]

I was hoping the 7.62x54, 30-30, and .223 comments were jokes...

Don't forget 8mm mauser...or .45acp....or......who knows what other tomfxckery. Mini-14 is a .223 m1 carbine. Other than that...


There is ALOT of stupid in this thread.

 

[Jimmy17]

8mm Mauser...I was joking.

There is ALOT of stupid in this thread.

I've been doing alot of this in this thread -

John, I salut your patience; or I'm willing to donate a little money to your blood-pressure pill fund.

 

[Greenhorse six]

Ingram SAM 1, M1Carbine based rifle in 5.56x45, 7.62x39 and 7.62x51.

I'am just sayn they can build it if they want to.

I'd like one in .22 spitfire

 

[lone-wolf]

I'd like one in .22 spitfire

5.7x28mm would probably be an easier sell.

 

[Greenhorse six]

5.7x28mm would probably be an easier sell.

That would work too, it's just that with the spitfire you can use .30 carbine brass necked down to .22 and use the same bolt and mags.

 

[gaff]

you people don't get it.
7.62x25tt surplus ammo. no reloading
19" barrel nonrestricted
crome lined,less worry over corrosive ammo
and for those people who want 22 spitfire , good luck making the brass and reloading it.

 

[johnone]

STANG;
"Hey John
If there is none in .50BMG left I'll take one in .30 carbine."

We will reserve one for you, it does come with a hammer so you can get the longer cartridge into the action.... We have not resolved the feeding issues as yet but we feel that once you touch off one round in that action there should not be a need for a second round.... ?

Enjoy your new .50bmg /M-1 Ultimate

[Ar180shooter]

I'll take an M1 Carbine in 30-30. Build it and I will come for one, maybe two!

How bout in 7.62x39

.223/.556 NATO would suit me!

I'd *love* one in 223

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

I hope these are jokes, but for some reason I doubt it...

In order to have something workable with those cartridges, it would require a complete redesign, to the point where you'd basically get a Mini 14/30. How about this... When johnone makes an announcement that Norinco will actually be producing new M1 Carbines, then you try to convince him to get Norinco to completely redesign it for a different cartridge that the action won't be able to handle.

I've been thinking about it and I think I'd really like one in 5.56. No I don't want a mini14 in this sense for the next one who's thinking of suggesting it.

So you really want a .223 rifle based on a platform that was neither designed to handle the pressure of the .223 cartridge or the length of the cartridge, that will use proprietary magazines and have absolutely no aftermarket support aside from what Norinco will make?

.223 m1 carbine? See mini-14.

pistol caliber m1 carbine? See Ruger pc-9/pc-40

Ruger purposely used the m1 carbine as a base design concept when creating these. The mini-14 and Ruger pc-9 are exactly what you would get if you were to try to engineer a m1 carbine into any other caliber.

I thought this was blatantly obvious already?

But I guess like said...a little research......

Yes, it is obvious, but this is CGN...

Gaff; As Greenhorse before you noted, the brass is simply .30 carb brass necked to .22. The .22 spitfire was one of the original wildcats designed to "improve" on the performance of the M1 back in '63.

5.7x28mm would probably be an easier sell.

5.7x28 Overall Length: 40.50 mm

.30 Carbine Overall Length: 41.91 mm

The magazines would also be very easy to design, as the widest part of the 5.7x28's case has no taper.

The rebated rim would require a slight ejector redesign, though.

This is easily the most workable option.

 

[Petrock]

I would still love to have one of these "in a more available and inexpensive caliber" there you go. Everybody happy now?

 

[m-134]

a m1 carbine in .300 AAC blackout would be sweet.

 

[UCSPanther]

a m1 carbine in .300 AAC blackout would be sweet.

Convert a mini 14 to that calibre.

 

[enefgee]

Anyone ever tried loading heavier bullets into the 30 M1 case??

 

[Polar Man]

I would much rather see a Garand, probably a lot more likely as well.
