Nope. The M1 Carbine fires a round called the .30 carbine.
It’s basically a pistol cartridge.


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

It’s probably ok in that role if you handload with
faster burning pistol propellants. Then the main
annoyance is that tapered case which has to be
lubricated for resizing.
