Will I find one of these?

I thought Remington carbines were 18 1/2 inch barrels. Was yours cut back by someone. And yes, they are loud. I had a 742 carbine and it wasn't bad with 180 grain loads but seemed louder with 150's. The guys to either side of you at the range may find it louder than you do.

Yes, the normal carbines do...this is a .308 model 7600 Police Carbine - at 16 1/2".

I picked up a bubba'd m94 a few years ago at a gunshow. Didn't pay much for it (it was drilled & tapped and the rear sight removed and had a home made stock on it). I put a nice stock on it and a peep sight and use it for my deer rifle. Never really noticed how loud it was. lol
