“M1A, excluding the M1 Garand”

[Towed_Jumper]

Thanks ltc...I did see that one (“M1A, excluding the M1 Garand”)...keep in mind that the M1A was a follow on variant of the original M1 Garand. The difference being that the M1A (known as the M14 in the Military), was a select-fire, 20rd box magazine feed battle rifle in 7.62mm NATO.

The M1 Carbine is a small, WWII era carbine with a detachable 15 or 30rd magazine. It fires the .30 Carbine cartridge which is basically a pistol cartridge.

I'm surprise the M1 Carbine was not on the list given it's detachable magazine configuration.

No one here knows for sure if the M1 Carbine is banned. According to a strict reading of the law the M1 carbine is not banned. However the "copycat" clause is so deliberately unclear that in practice the MSP may consider the M1 carbine to be a "copycat" of the M1A. The same situation exists vis-a-vis the AR10. The AR10 is not specifically regulated, but it might get whacked under the copycat provision as a "copy" of the AR15 (which is, of coures, absurd, but these are liberals we are dealing with).

What it comes down to is the MSP are going to be the arbiters of what can and cannot be sold here, and they have not yet issued any guidance to the public. We will find out in October.
