Nope. The M1 Carbine fires a round called the .30 carbine.
It’s basically a pistol cartridge. Ballistics are below
.30-30 and way below 7.62x39. You may have trouble
finding .30C ammo other than FMJ. .30 carbine is iffy
for deer, although usually legal.

The M1 Rifle fires the .30-06, which is much more powerful
than any of the above.

Buddy of mine has a Remington 6 cyl revolver that takes the 30 carbine rounds.

Don’t know if I’d want to be behind that sucker when it goes off! But I guess that would be better than being in front...

Just for the record:

The .30-06 is God's round.

And what a great pistol round, one of my favorites, if you can stand the noise and about a 3 ft flame coming out.
